[lakersmets49ers]

i like their chances either way, i see it panning out like this regardless of which team they play. either houston or portland will split the first two in LAif the lakers play portland their going to win 3 and 4 in portland and 5 in la

if the lakers get houston the lakers will take game 1, lose games 2 and 3, and win 4, 5, and 6

Not so much. Check out the last time CLE was in the finals....all the final scores were relatively close, but the Spurs destroyed them. Lakers are doing thesame thing pretty much. Just toying with their opponents. They need to stop but it's nothing new....and they are winning the games so I wouldn't panicyet.

^ The last time CLE was in the Finals? Are you serious? That was 2 years ago, and their team is completely different now, in both roster and in style.

How'd Mo Williams do in those Finals? How is Ben Wallace doing this year compared to the Ben Wallace in the playoffs that year? Damon Jones? What are hisfirst round numbers that year compared to this year?

If we face CLE in the Finals and we're still blowing leads, it will definitely spell trouble for us.

The Jazz played very well last night .

I'm a very big Lakers fan but I feel like Utah got shafted in the last couple ofminutes .

No calls or anything , but as soon as Gasol barely gets touched , they blow the whistle .

Wins a win.

If Portland wins tonight, it'll give us a week til we play again, Luke and Ariza can rest up, Andrew can keep working, get back in shape.

Jazz are damn tough. No surprise they came out in the 4th and took it to us and went out with hustle and pride. But the refs didn't cost them this game,or this series.

On to round two.

I will say this, the Lakers are going to be battle tested if they make the Finals. Can the same be said of the Cavs? Who will they face next round? Heat?Atlanta? Then after in the Conference Finals, a rundown Celtics? Bulls? beat up Orlando?

Think about that, they will be in for a shock when they have to finally play a team like the Lakers in the Finals. The Lakers will have played a Jazz teamwhich is not an 8 seed, a Rockets team which is tough and physical, and a Denver team which can give them a hard time especially with Billups playing like heis.

I am not saying that the Lakers would dispose of them easily, but I am saying that it is something to think about.

Who on the Cavs is capable of taking over games? Lebron, maybe Mo right...
Lakers? Kobe, Pau, Lamar...

I will hope I get to see a Lakers Cavs Finals it will be one of the best series in a long time!

I'm not saying CLE is the same team...I only used that series as a reference point. Would be the same if it was NYK playing that series. Pointis I won't panic YET with the Lakers doing this. They do it alot and still win, so nothing to sweat over. I agree that they should stop that habit though.

Y'all are ******ed, talking about Vanessa looking busted.

She looks freaking hot.

Forget y'all.

Ain't hot enough to be forcing maids to dig through dog crap, though.
