Thanks, man. Unfortunately, in order to get that downloaded without waiting ~10 hours, I'd have to pay $8.

Oj must be sad right now...I think he enjoys himself more had we lost so he can get off on himself telling the rest of us how bad this team is

REPLAY AT MIDNITE ON 691 THEY ALWAYS DO

Screw it. I paid it.

Those were some well spent $8.

How the heck did the Hornets play that last possession so badly, all 5 dudes were guarding the other basket LOL.

Theres always inbounds adventures when we go up there

That was one of the most insane wins I've ever seen. 18 down to start the fourth. Mamba just willing the Lakers to the win. Everyone doing their part - Dwight playing great D - and turning what looked like an embarrassing and devastating loss into a W just in the knick of time. Now we are only 1.5 behind Utah for the 8th slot. It's so good.

Now can everyone calm down with the negative crap that's been going on here. Let's not count our team out until or rather only if we are mathematically out of the playoff race. But knock on wood, we look like we might just get in. Stop with all of the "we're not good, we can't beat anyone" BS for a while. "This team is so flawed, this team sucks, this team isn't making the playoffs, if this team makes the playoffs they'll get swept immediately . . ." Lordy. Hang in there. Let's see what happens.

LOL...I was soooooooooooo pissed off after 3 quarters, turned the TV off, went to the gym to burn off the anger.

I get there and all the damn TV's were on the Laker game. So i just looked down and did my thing. Got a real good sweat going after about 20 minutes. Decided to look up thinking, game over......and we were TIED 102 - 102. LOL.

Wow.

After the 3rd quarter, I was so thoroughly disgusted that I literally left the house to go buy food. I just couldn't watch it anymore, I was so angry. When I got back, all of the sudden the Lakers are winning. Fortunately I record every game so I did see the 4th quarter.

What a strange game, glad to have the win, still not optimistic overall.

Weezy wrote:My complaint is that we should never have been down 25. Come out with that energy to start and you're UP 20 by the 4th. Aside from that though, that was a gigantic win. Instead of going back down 2 games under .500 we finally have a chance to get 1 game over .500 for the first time since November on Friday. That is a HUGE swing, could be a season saving swing. Also instead of staying even with Utah who lost, we gained a game, 1 1/2 back, we NEEDED this.

yep shouldn't have gown down by that much to begin with considering the "records" but it was a b2b in addition to most of our players doing diddly squat in the 1st half. At this point in the season I guess we'll have to take what they give us.

Yeah...I was disappointed when I checked in via the radio on the drive home that they were down 18 to start the fourth. They just did not have their legs underneath them and probably didn't have their heads in the game in addition to it. **** happens and they dealt with it. Imagine if they just said screw it and laid down?

I was a little nervous when he dunked the ball to put him over 20 shots for the game. Frankly I was a bit disappointed he'd take that risk considering how horrible the Lakers suddenly become the second he does that.

24 had 12 assists too so he made the right plays I suppose.

remember even in the GD thread there was already complaints about Kobe going all "Hero ball" and "ISO Mode" which was supposedly taking others out of the game.

Well, there are only three legit scorers on the starting unit. Two are new still trying to adjust to the alpha. Not that easy as it looks or sounds. The others comprise of one who likes to take off balance Js and INSISTS on going coast to coasts by himself. The second is a garbage [i.e. "hustle" points] player who realistically will not get enough shots to get a rhytmn and looks to be hitting a wall. Meeks blows hot and cold but has played steady of late. What was up with La Cucaracha Jamison last night?

I was driving home from the airport trying to keep up on my cell phone. I turned it off after the mid-3rd quarter when it was in the 20's

When I got home turned on my laptop and posted in the Gameday thread how disappointed I was and then I went to take a shower. After I got out I noticed that the Yahoo box score was showing 102-102!! I had to check to see if it was an error but before I could It changed to 108-102 final.

I still haven't watched the DVR of it but it sounded like a monumental collapse by NO combined with some hot shooting and timely defense by us.

Great win but the only thing for this team that's impressive is the comeback..... it seems like we should have won this going away in the first place.

They messed around, said "oops" then went on desperation mode [rolls eyes]. Never should have been that way BUT it wasn't like they were playing The Little Sisters of The Poor records be damned.

Twan was just missing some shots. They go hot and cold sometimes. He was energetic as usual. I have been saying EC has not been the same since he hurt his hand. His energy levels are way down since that game. I also think he is getting a little of the Dwight treatment under the basket and the refs aren't giving him any love. I expect him to bounce back soon but right now he seems frustrated.

http://youtu.be/ossSWj17Jnk I been ballin' so damn hard I swear I think that I'm Kobe
Young bull of this rap s*** but I think that I'm Kobe



Please don't bypass the swear filter, thanks. -therealdeal

Most of my friends are beating their heads for not finishing the game. I'm so glad that i always stick around till the game ends

Yeah but also remember there were comments about how Kobe being a facilitator wasn't working.

(This is before we actually won the game, of course).

Better win this game vs TOR...they have a whole bunch of 6'4 to 6'8 athletic guys who are streaky shooters just like Denver and Clippers, those are the types of teams that give us lots of problems...Rudy Gay, Derozan, Terrance Ross, Alan Anderson, Landry Fields, we need Earl Clark to have a big defensive game tomorrow

Having said that Toronto hasn't won in LA since DEC 2001. 12 years! So I like our chances

UGH i hate all these STREAKS that we have against teams at home.....that measn they're due a win in LA....hopefully its not tomorrow. We cannot afford any bad home losses.

See OKC and Denver lost up in Denver too, cant believe the media were calling doom and gloom on us when we lost games twice up there on the 2nd of a back to back. Ty Lawson was running circles around CP3 so we shouldnt be mad at Nash for not being able to keep up
