I wouldn't call 16/7/4/3 a worthless game...

Want to quote myself here not to boast or whatever, because I could have been wrong. Instead it's to remind people that give up to early that we've seen this before, we should have more faith. We get down a few we act like everything is over, and really by now shouldn't we know better? It's the Lakers after all.

especially on paper, not worthless but something about how he's constantly pushed around and losing the ball just makes it feel like he was more of a detriment to the team. wish he'd just toughen up finally.

Chris Paul is only averaging 20.7 pts and 9.7 asts when the Hornets lose, and he's averaging 30.0 pts and 14.5 asts when the Hornets win, so just as we saw in this game, the Hornet will go only as far as Paul takes them. If the Lakers shut down Paul, they shut down the Hornets, so let's hope we see more of that in Game 6.

good game aside from the first quarter

But I think we have to finish them in 6 now.

That was really out of character because they usually lose those type of games with a bad Q1... hope they can continue to manage their mental states... that's all this is about...

Gotcha, all we get in Canada is TNT's coverage.

Kenny and Chuck basically saying Kobe is faking the injury.

Sad. They are effin pathetic sacks of crap.

Heard that too. My dad and I were laughing at them hysterically when they were talking about that. They're just sour they never won f*** all.

So, I relaized the combo of the Three B's, Gasol or Odom, and Bynum is the best combo out there. You can throw Artest in the mix, he has been the best Laker this entire series

Bynum guaranteed a win yesterday and backed it up. Great job on his part.

i know i cnt stand tnt, or abc/bspn for that matter

the announcers always bash us if we lose, then they nvr give us credit when we win. and if we do win, their excuse is always size etc etc, nvr give credit to la

Kenny thinks that if this game was in NO, the Hornets would have won. Anthony...who is basically twice the analyst that Kenny is, shuts him down with a nice dose of common sense...noting that the Hornets turned it over 18 times, got crapped on on the boards, killed in the paint, and gave up 51 percent shooting.

Basically the first quarter was a giant fluke where their shots fell.

I was warning about the pitfalls but Lakers got their mental state together and everyone improved. If this continues we close out... Kobe was a total surprise. This is no man... he comes from somewhere else... as spent as he was in the last game, I saw a different person tonight...

Nice win for us. Didn't come out strong but ended great. Glad we got the W.
