Lakers @ Minny 5pm PST

[Scholar]

Didn't see a thread. :lebronamazed:

[shaq2000]

old Pau is back?!

[Scholar]

Pau got dunked on by AK47 right at the start of the game. :facepalm

[Scholar]

old Pau is back?!

Yup. After getting dunked on, he's hit 3/3 FGs.

And D12 just seems uninterested. 2 TOs already

[shaq2000]

Pau didn't even try to defend Pek there..

[shaq2000]

No box out, Dwight, gj...

[theBIGjabroni]

Pau didn't even try to defend Pek there..
Hate when they do shit like that and its so obviously intentional.:rant

[Scholar]

Dwight with a one hand rebound. Beautiful

[Scoooter]

Pekovic looks like he's raped a bear.

[Scholar]

At first, I was wondering why there was no thread yet... Then I remembered MIA is playing. I want to watch that game but my diehard Laker love won't let me. I'll probably just check into it every timeout/break.

[La Frescobaldi]

D12 going to sit on the bench; Pekovic grinning and swishing 2 at the free throw line.

[theBIGjabroni]

Can this motherfu.cker go a game without being in foul trouble the first quarter

[PickernRoller]

Clark and Kobe have both been making those turnovers again and again and again and keep trying them...:facepalm

[La Frescobaldi]

Can this motherfu.cker go a game without being in foul trouble the first quarter
he always sit the bench against 14. he's overpowered and even when he's in he can't defend the spins

[PickernRoller]

Can this motherfu.cker go a game without being in foul trouble the first quarter

No but to tell you the truth the refs have lost all respect for Howard. He can hardly play physical anymore.

[PickernRoller]

Clark playing wild. Needs to settle in...

[Scholar]

Pek must think he's Olajuwon out there. Every offensive board turns into a shot attempt by him. You'd think he's pass it out by now with all those misses.

[La Frescobaldi]

Pau is back? He looks great tonight

[ZeN]

anyone got a link?

[theBIGjabroni]

No but to tell you the truth the refs have lost all respect for Howard. He can hardly play physical anymore.
I noticed that.same thing with pau just on the offensive end though. They let him get hit in the face all the time

[Scholar]

Kobe's help defense is no defense at all. Dude needs to stay on his man.

[La Frescobaldi]

DW7 with the reverse slam!!!

[La Frescobaldi]

man Bryant stroke soooooooooo all-time smooth and tryin to fire up his team

[Scholar]

Kobe with an epic dunk!

[PickernRoller]

I noticed that.same thing with pau just on the offensive end though. They let him get hit in the face all the time

No matter - it actually makes them work harder. Hopefully.

[theBIGjabroni]

Nice one by kobe

[coin24]

:eek: :eek:

Godbe just shit on Stiemsma:lol :bowdown: :bowdown:

Lets go Lakers!!!!

[La Frescobaldi]

to me that was a strip on Dwight and shoulda stayed Lakers ball

but it was worth it to see SHVED

[coin24]

Dwight cant even post up the Wolves' back up back up center:lol :facepalm

[Scholar]

You'd think they'd come in the 2nd quarter re-energized. :facepalm Just so many turnovers.

[PickernRoller]

Turnover city. Nash been playing so bad lately I cringe when he has the ball.

[Scholar]

Jamison with the hot hand now.

[La Frescobaldi]

Jamison with the hot hand now.
yeah need to put it in here!!

http://womenofhr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Cup-of-Ice.jpg

[PickernRoller]

Someone should tell Dwight there is a thing called Super Glue. Guy has fumbled every single inside pass this quarter :facepalm :facepalm

[MVBallin2K]

There are times where Jamison can be frustrating but sometimes when they really need it, he provides those buckets to get the Lakers jumpstarted. Hopefully Lakers get more energetic now and start to play with more fire.

[Scholar]

Agreed, but I love AJ. He could easily average 16+ PPG if given more scoring opportunities like he did for the Cavs.

[Scholar]

I'm surprised an offensive foul wasn't called on Dwight. Seems like refs go for that first whenever he's in the paint.

[PickernRoller]

12 turnovers with 7 mins left in the second. How much bad chemistry does this team have my god. D'Antoni is a f'cking moron. Force feeding Dwight is another f'cking mistake.

[coin24]

Nice block Dwight:applause:

And finally makes a layup after a foul:rockon:

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

Steve Blake for MVP

[R.I.P.]

Finally Dwight plays like finals Shaq in the finals against Mutombo. He elbows Stiiemsma and gets the +1. :roll:

[R.I.P.]

I'm surprised an offensive foul wasn't called on Dwight. Seems like refs go for that first whenever he's in the paint.

There was a case for flagrant tbh. He just threw that elbow for no reason. :lol

[Scholar]

Some of these Lakers girls have butt ugly faces.

[La Frescobaldi]

both these teams are so bad.

Wolves now have like 2 hours on the court together with Budinger this season, Rubio only seen what half a season?........ Lakers have no such reasons

[PickernRoller]

have no such reasons? Where you been son? The entire lakers line up has been injured this season. But anyway I mostly attribute this to the coach and his system.

[Scholar]

Everyone in the Lakers' starting line up has missed @ least 2 games each. Pau just got back and has only played about 36 games this season. Nash missed practically all of 2012 for the Lakers. And MWP isn't even available to play now, possibly missing the remainder of the season.

[Celtic_Pride]

Refs just doesn't want to call 3rd on Dwight

Pek getting jobbed!

[MVBallin2K]

As bad as Dwight can be on the offensive, he's actually been great defensively tonight and is staying out of foul trouble. If only we could get that Kobe PnR to lob to Dwight near every time down.

[La Frescobaldi]

true. nash leg, howard back, now metta done....... that wasn't fair.

lakers are just bad because of injuries, like wolves. feel better now? :oldlol:

[PickernRoller]

Time to bench Nash. Hopefully Nash retires next season. Love the selflessness of the dude, can still be clutch and all but he's past his time.

[Celtic_Pride]

That pass...

[PickernRoller]

Lol at Dwight.......missed a freebie and then committed the foul. That sums up the season for this guy. :facepalm :facepalm

Still better than Bynum - can't complaint I guess.

[Scholar]

true. nash leg, howard back, now metta done....... that wasn't fair.

As long as you acknowledge it. :D

:oldlol: @ MVBallin2K saying D12 has kept out of foul trouble. Not even slightly true.

[MVBallin2K]

:oldlol: @ MVBallin2K saying D12 has kept out of foul trouble. Not even slightly true.

Considering he had two for a while and sat on that, it took him a while to get his 3rd. To me...that's him staying out of foul trouble since I'm used to him sitting out the entire 2nd quarter by now :oldlol:

he's so freaking dominating it's crazy but he's just got no IQ at all.

His fouls are almost always literally STUPID

[MVBallin2K]

What's even worse is that smile he gets after he's in foul trouble. I don't think he means it in the way where it's like he's trolling the Lakers obviously but it sure comes off that way.

I really don't know if he's that much better than a healthy Bynum. Bynum had his problems and could disappear but he also had games where he straight up dominated on both ends. If we had that Bynum with healthy knees, it'd be arguable.

That Bynum died a long time ago. I doubt he can ever come back with healthy knees ever again. Only played 82 games once and he wasn't even good back then.

Dwight has proven to be great since his sophomore year in the NBA. No denying that. Bynum only did it for one season.

[Scholar]

Dwight could go for a 20/20 game tonight. That's if the team goes to him instead of going to Kobe iso ball

[Scholar]

Off-topic but has anyone paid attention to that Morongo commercial they always show on TWC? The woman is walking with drinks, trips and is about to spill them, but the man pauses everything and helps her.

Then when he resumes things, she just walks the other way. :wtf:
Why did she walk that way then? Where was she going? Just walking around with drinks for fun?

[PickernRoller]

Nash's mind is at Phoenix running and gunning for 120+...dude been making the stupidest turnovers ever this game. Horrible.

[coin24]

Bynum?? That guy is finished...
Even when healthy, he was a big sook and disappointing to watch. Will have a monster game, then disappear for 5 or 6 games:facepalm


Lakers looking like theyve never played a game together as usual:applause:

[coin24]

And now they play well to start the 3rd:oldlol:

Lets go Lakers, need this win...

[Scholar]

Dwight with 4 ****ing fouls now.

[MVBallin2K]

Dwight could go for a 20/20 game tonight. That's if the team goes to him instead of going to Kobe iso ball

Sadly, Dwight won't need Kobe ball for that, more so just foul trouble. Thus proving me wrong by going out already :oldlol: .

[coin24]

Kobe with the huge dunk:bowdown: :bowdown:

[theBIGjabroni]

Kobe with another jam:bowdown:

[Scholar]

Kobe has 3 dunks this game. One of those 3 is an alley-oop.
Can't wait for the haters to come out and say Kobe is on steroids.

[TheBigVeto]

Easy win for the Fakers.

[b1imtf]

Bynum?? That guy is finished...

Lakers looking like theyve never played a game together as usual:applause:
I mean, as bad as Dwight can be at times, you'd be even worse if you still had Bynum...

[Scholar]

Easy win for the Fakers.

And right when I mention "haters," here comes one.

[MVBallin2K]

Bynum?? That guy is finished...

Lakers looking like theyve never played a game together as usual:applause:

No arguing there on either account. Last year he did okay even with those faults but I more so meant fully healthy with his head on straight which would be a perfect world cause that will never happen and now his career is pretty much near over. Lakers let him go exactly when they should have.


Lakers playing better in this half and looks like they should win the game barring a meltdown. Let's hope that they don't blow this lead like the Wizards.

[La Frescobaldi]

wow I switched over to watch the Heat Bulls come back WHAM!! what happened? Did Wolves sit down for a quarter?

[Droid101]

No Dwight went out.

When Dwight is the center OR Pau is the center, Lakers usually dominate.

Playing them on the court at the same time on the other hand....

[SpecialQue]

Pau and Kobe raping.

[PickernRoller]

Berea has been owning Blake's soul since the Dallas series. :facepalm

[coin24]

Pretty much this..

[Scholar]

Pau and Kobe raping.

Kobe and "rape" shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

[The-Legend-24]

How does Dwight miss that?

[Magic 32]

Kobe 24 pts (10-16 FG), 2-4 3PM-A, 7 ast, 3 reb. :applause:

[La Frescobaldi]

That Dwight steal is a significant clue about Pekovic. He consistently does not go TO the ball. He waits for the ball so if you can get in the lane, you can get a takeaway. He's still got to make that step to the ball seems like fundamental would not be a problem , his fundamentals are so strong... but that one? yeah, he's still got work to do

[La Frescobaldi]

How does Dwight miss that?
intimidated by that big load lined up against him

[SpecialQue]

Barea shoving away Pek? :biggums:

[Droid101]

Damn, you wouldn't realize by watching, but Dwight put up a crazy statline already.

[La Frescobaldi]

when you follow the Wolves you gotta find the bright points because they are so FREAKING SELDOM.

Dante with the awesomely correct foul on Howard under the basket!!

[MVBallin2K]

Hack a Dwight time, let's see how this goes. :oldlol:

[Scholar]

Why didn't they hack-a-Dwight earlier? Probably could've kept it closer then.

[coin24]

Fu*k Dwight make your free throws....

Also FU*KING IDIOT DANTONI :facepalm :facepalm

[MVBallin2K]

Wolves fouling Dwight with under two minutes to go :oldlol: :facepalm

[Scholar]

:roll: Luke is such a dumbass.

[La Frescobaldi]

like nashie gonna miss a free throw??

[MVBallin2K]

Wow, Lakers may lose this game if they don't hang in there...

[La Frescobaldi]

Go Woooooooooooooooolves!!!!!!!!!!

[Scholar]

D'Antoni needs to take D12 out of the game when the hack-a-Dwight is in effect.

[takai]

Mambaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[coin24]

WTF:facepalm Way to blow a lead:facepalm

Nice shot Kobe:applause:

[theBIGjabroni]

Kobe!!!

[PickernRoller]

D'Antoni surely made it interesting by not coaching while the other coach figuring how to beat him.

[takai]

Pau and Kobe doin work! :applause:

[coin24]

Lakers D:facepalm :facepalm

Lucky Pau got to that ball..

[La Frescobaldi]

Kobe is so awesome man that dude lol

[PickernRoller]

Pau has been so bad defensively these last couple of minutes I want to spit on his face.

[takai]

Nash with the clutch FTs. Hopefully that's game.

[IGotACoolStory]

Kobe walking off like "Imma get out of here" :lol

[d.bball.guy]

Quick recap of what happened? I missed most of the game.

And Rubio got fouled :facepalm

[b0bab0i]

wow rubio got fouled

[DuMa]

Kobe got away with a foul

[MVBallin2K]

Kobe got the heck out of there after potentially fouling Rubio. Well, we win regardless but I feel bad for Wolves...good game anyhow. A lot closer than it should have been.

If the Bulls win, then it's a good night to be a Lakers fan since the Lakers streak may also remain intact.

[coin24]

Change your face Rubio:lol Go cry to mummy:oldlol:

[takai]

Hell yes. I'd be just like Kobe and blow outta there.

[d.bball.guy]

Kobe was just probably "I'm outta here, I fouled Rubio" :lol

[PickernRoller]

No foul there. Mamba doesn't foul, he touches you and enlightens you. Just kidding, clear foul. Well, a win is a win to get us out of that losing slump. Gonna probably lose tomorrow....:mad: ....nice see D'Antoni not coach for the last 4 minutes of the game. I would love to get paid and not do my job.

[La Frescobaldi]

Kobe was just probably "I'm outta here, I fouled Rubio" :lol
man that dude KB24 jumped in that Ferrari and.................

[DirkNowitzki41]

lmao. lame

[jack.]

Ahahaha even the Lakers' commentators were like "it's a good thing they can't review fouls". Like 2 feet away from a ref. Another great moment in NBA refereeing.

[B-Easy8]

Clear foul but im happy.

We need to keep tanking games and get a higher draft pick. This was a blessing in disguise.

Perfect game for us. Interesting and close but a loss.
