I really can't stand Steve Kerr talking about Kobe "playing the one man game" and hurting the confidene of his teammates. Seriously, dude, STFU.

I hope they can pull it off in Game 7. Its gonna be hell if they get eliminated in the 1st round this time.

Spurs in 07 vs Dallas. I think.

Yep looks like it. Dallas lost game 1, then won 3 straight before losing Game 5 at home.

That was in the WCF though and against a good Spurs team. For us to choke against Denver like we did is just hard to believe

Correction here actually. Dallas lost Game 5 on the road after being up 3-1, then lost Game 6 at home before going into San Antonio to win in Game 7. Surprised I forgot that since it was such an epic game.

It starts already...... It's all Bynum's fault...Oh... you can "qualify" that paragraph all you want but the sentiment is clear. He was stepping out on shots... he rebounded... he blocked shots and contested shots.... these blocked shots don't count but the ones in game one did? He scored just 10 points in that game in a lot more minutes..... what's the difference? He doesn't get the bring the ball up the floor or initiate the offense. He can't create space or prevent the double teams all by himself.

I'd say he's had a much better game than the last one. Outscored out rebounded and out blocked both Mozgov and McGee....

I am sorry Roos got to disagree with you. Bynum's poor attitude is a part of the problem.

His stats do NOT reflect his impact on this game. Bynum can take just 3 shots and impact the game much more significantly than this. His D was MIA throughout the game, his 4 blocks do not represent reality. I honestly don't even know how he's got 4 blocks.
He did try hard on the boards, but still, his whole demeanour and attitude has been detrimental to this game.
His lack of agression was very noticeable.

Having said that, this isn't really Bynum's fault. It's a team-wide issue. The lack of heart, effort and determination was egregious.
I don't know if I've ever been as dissapointed in this team as today. Outside of Kobe, they all sicken me. The ones that did actually tried (Hill, Blake, Barnes) made terrible decisions after terrible decisions.
Sessions was scared to shoot.
I am so depressed right now I can't even type. There's so much stuff that I'd like to mention that it's overwhelming. Forget it. I'll get you back later.

Do you see where you went wrong?

MWP & Kobe better let EVERYONE hear it and come out in game 7.

ALL the lakers better come out strong and with heart and effort in game 7

I forgot about Goudelock, might be nice to have a guy off the bench that can shoot/score, oh well.

Steve Kerr doesn't really hide his dislike of the Lakers and Kobe. I can't stand listening to him during games like this, he's usually very critical of the Lakers and very complimentary to the opponents.

John3:16 · by **John3:16** on Thu May 10, 2012 10:15 pm

Only lost by 17. Felt like 57.

We get Ron back for game 7, hopefully bench Gasol and we'll be fine.

Ron hasn't played in 2 weeks! He will be rusty. Don't expect much from him.

Yeah.... did you see where I said you can't "qualify" that entire paragraph of sniping? A lot of you guys wanted him to concentrate on Defense and Rebounding and not worry about the offensive end..... Well here ya go..

7cody · by **7cody** on Thu May 10, 2012 10:17 pm

We need to keep Bynum and Gasol on the bench if we want to win game 7

Even if we do win game 7, and move on to face the OKC, I have no faith in this team anymore

I'm disgusted. Our Coach is horrible, btw

DuddlyDoRight · by **DuddlyDoRight** on Thu May 10, 2012 10:17 pm

I am done with Bynum and PG, I dont care, there is no excuse for this type of performance. I really cant describe my disappointment any further without profanity so im done.

really? then how about they play the freeking game, bunch of scrubs.

Ariza3 · by **Ariza3** on Thu May 10, 2012 10:25 pm

keys for game 7:

drew gives an F and plays with the same effort and heart from game 1
pau doesnt suck balls and actually produces
kobe does what hes been doing
mwp plays ridiculously insane on D and O, isnt too rusty, & fires the lakers up
ebanks backs up mwp instead of barnes
sesh keeps attacking the rim and isnt afraid to shoot wide open 3's

COME OUT STRONG WITH HEART & EFFORT

My problem with Bynum is and has always been his attitude. Since the regular season. It has been so cancerous I wouldn't be that mad if they traded him (not saying they should, saying I would understand).
His body language, his dumb effing statements, his inconsistent effort, his inmaturity, it's too much. Just too much.
He rebounded the ball very well. He was more active on D (despite the 4 blocks, I wouldn't say he was great though, inconsistent effort on different possessions). His offense didn't look good, but that's almost impossible given how hard they are double and triple teaming him (sparked by our rock bottom outside shooting).

It's a matter of effort, of heart, of attitude. It doesn't necesarilly translate to statistical numbers, but it can be the difference between winning and losing.

Just look at how Kobe seems to approach the game and compare it to Drew. That alone should be enough to recognize his great weakness.
Don't even get me started about Pau. He has to go. ASAP.

Gotta agree with this, Kobe clearly swung for the ball, it was a hard foul, but it's not an ejection, come on.

we needed a fresh start, a hollywood reboot (which we almost had). what we got was the introduction of cousin oliver onto the show.

I know hardly anyone will get that, but that was funny.

haha glad someone could appreciate it.

"Maybe did our pick and roll coverage correctly...8% of the time...."

So, as you see that happening throughout five minutes, ten minutes...you don't do anything?
