It's gonna be on at Staples... We're gonna light it up, and it's gonna be a dirty game.. Hey at least we don't gotta hear that loud nasty horn whistle thingie whenever a player shoots n e more. We're more classy than their fans... Lakers win by single digits...

LAKERS BY 14!!!!!!!!!!!

KOBE ADN SHAQ TO THROW DOWN 70!

AND DFISH TO STEP IT UP!

In the past, weve played better on the road, this year, the home court has really helped us alot...

The people of L.A. will make sure their voice will be heard. This is a must win game. I think the Lakers will pull this off, and regain a certain swagger, it's the dynasty on the line, let's go L.A... Let's go...

Ill say it and I will tell yall agian,lakers are dooooomed.Man,they should start calling me lil nostridomous!

All Starters In Double Figures For The Lakeshow!!!

THAT is the lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a great performance by kobe bryant
shaq
and did yall see that shaq fast break!
that was SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also glad role players put in 40!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS THE LAKERS!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE BACK!!!!!!
AND TALK BOUT George!!!!!!!!!!!
wow!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a great game you guys. I told you, just believe, now what haters? However, don't get to excited yet, let's just look at the positives of game 3, and hope they carry into game 4.

First off, George, what a surprise! I wasn't expecting that at all, and then he goes on to his the Lakers first 2 shots of the game! But man, he must have been in pain, he was jumping like no other, and what great Zen by Phil - "He'll be lucky to throw in an inbounds pass", then PJax starts him. That's Zen at it's best...

Next off, The modified triangle is so deadly, what a great adjustment, by just having Shaq come up to the free throw line opens up so much space on the court, that more picks can be made cleanly, and then more room for the role players to move. Frees up alot of space, great adjustments by the entire coaching staff...

And lastly, that is the MVP side of Kobe we saw tonight. Getting his teamates involved. Scoring when it was needed, and more importantly, he played under control. It seemed in game 1 & 2, he was to over-aggresive, plus I loved the pick and role plays with Shaq and Kobe. I mean when is the last time you saw Shaq come up and set a pick for KB at the three point line? Great stuff....

Tonight, the Lakers have regained their swagger, and now, I feel, have taken control of the Spurs weak areas. This win defineltly sent out a message. The game is just so easy when the Lakers play like they did tonight...

Now, like I mentioned before, don't get overconfident yet, but be proud. The swagger is back, and so is this series. Let's hope they carry over these key factors into game 4.

HERE WE GO LAKERS HERE WE GO CLAP CLAP CLA-CLA-CLAP
HERE WE GO LAKERS HERE WE GO CLAP CLAP CLA-CLA-CLAP
HERE WE GO LAKERS HERE WE GO CLAP CLAP CLA-CLA-CLAP

that was a great win for the lakers. they played like the world champion, that caliber-like team. if they play like this, no one kan beat them. guaranteed! kobe played very well, shaq was explosive, bench stepped up... a whole krap load of credit goes to the trainers taht allowed george to even come backc. hours of massage, therapy, etc. etc. lakers play like this, a 4-peat is theirs. not only is a four-peat on the line, 5 in a row is on the line. next year, they will be even BETTER w/ new teammates, and u can count on it that the lakers will be stronger, better, and the champions of next year's playoffs. lakers in 7

Thank you! It's all in phycing the mind outta situations... The Lakers still gotta prove to the media they winning 3 in a row isn't a fluke! We've been doubted so long in the past, the Lakers need to win from the bottom up, instead of having the home court advantage... We got game 3, now 3 more wins!! Come on Lakers!! Do tha dayam thang!!

guys, knock on some wood lol
