thats the top ten

Fisher has always been my fav. Laker ever since he came into the Leauge with Kobe.

Man, to see him shoot so well last night made me feel so good, he is bomb digity you guys

And as for game 4... Just bring Shaq up four feet for the triangle and all will be well

game 4 i htink shaq and kobe will vcombine for 70!
and all starter in doubles again!!!!!!!!!

DDDDAAAAYYYYYAAAAMMMM!! Even though D-Fish wasn't shooting a lot, I loved his shot selection... He took tha J confident as ever, and looked good doing so.. Whoa I still can't believe he leads the playoffs in 3 point percentage! WHOA!! U Go baby boi!! YEA YEA!

lakers by double digits. shaq will be explosive again, kobe will play like his usual, dfish, dgeorge will step up, robert horry, etc etc.... lakers will play well. mr momentum will be shifted to the lakers' side, if not already shifted. as for dfish, if he plays good, lakers will win... if the lakers play like a team, the 4 is ours.. lakers in 7

Well, I think the spurs will bounce back and win the game, Lakers got lucky thats all.

Lucky?? Since when does luck constitute a 20 point win? In mah book, that's not luck at all...

yeah, if a team beats another team you can't call it luck... accept defeat.

Dayam I guess I forgot to register that post!! Mah badd!! I guess i was too in a hurry again!!!

take you time
why dont you click on that thing that logs you in automatically?

Luck? The only thing that's lucky is I now found out the Spurs can't outrun a 300+ Pound man on the break...

But seriously, I think the Lakers now have the idea defensivly fellas...

Let Duncan get his, and defend the supporting cast. That's a great idea, because when you look at the numbers of game 2, then game 3, the Spurs shot terrible from the role players. All due to the defensive switch P Jax made... It's smart, and it stopped the tremendous firepower the Spurs team can execute out. So I think game 4 looks very good to us...

i totally agree
we held the backcourt to 11 points
ginobili with 8 , tony parker with 2
thats great defense
duncan getting his and hte others cold shooting.....
will be dah key!

Another thing to think about...

Robert Horry and Brian Shaw arn't even hitting their shots, and we still won game 3. Just think about what will happen when they start knocking some down. Im really pumped up right now!

So far, it doesn't look too good for us being down by 11.

Hopefully, we can cut it to a single digit defecit and take over later on!!!!

Defense fellas!!!!!!!!

Nice run guys.

Nice comeback to single digit, seven point deficit.

A good start of the third is a must for the Lakers.

Yes, and I think it's coming... I mean, I knew Shaw would hit some shots. But I think the Lakers, played terrible in the 1st half. I know they're woken up now, let's go... I can't see the Lakers playing that bad again you know, and they won't...

Another thing is, if you want to win this game, you must give the ball to Shaq. Everyone has 3 fouls so give the ball to Shaq...

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

Man, when Shaw hit that 3... Ya'll know that buzzer beater!! WHOA!! And dayam this series is all tied up goin back at SA... 2 more baby!! Win the next two, lakers!!! Just stick to the game plan!! Get well PJ!!

Yes, how big was Shaw's 3 at the end of the 3rd?

Man, great win, but the Lakers could have played alot better in the first half, but all that matters is we got the win...

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