Didn't get a chance to post earlier on but wow. Amazing game by the Lakers. My boy Bynum looks better every time he steps on to the court. Our offense wasrolling today. Kobe, Fish, Bynum, and even Ariza all played great ball. What I love from this team right now is everyone is playing within their roles. Nobodyis trying to do much and we are seeing the positive results. If Bynum keeps on growing and Kobe keeps on playing as a playmaker I really think we can do somedamage this year. Hopefully Odom can pick it up though, if he does we can be scary good.

It's gonna be a ugly Christmas for LA. Suns 130 Lakers 96. Amare with 47 pts and 21 rebs, Nash with 30 pts and 25 ast. Barbosa and Bell go 12-12 beyond the arc.
Once again dogg you failed. Please stop posting.
I was in staples today. Boy my wife knows how to surprise somebody. I was upset that I couldn't get tickets and low and behold this woamn hands me ticketsas soon as we get out of church...got to love that woman.
Staples was hype. Trevors dunk was insane. Bynum just keeps looking better and better. Lamar did some dumb things but overall he played soild. Fish is a godsent. I can't believe we had smush as long as we did. Kobe was kobe. The bench was ballin but they played soild mintues and didn't hurt us like theysometimes do. Farmar must stay. We should not make a deal for J. Kidd. Keep the team the way it is unless something goes south.
This was a great win for us but we do have a tough road ahead. The next 2 games are tough with utah and the green machine. But then we have the 76ers and thepacers.
Lets Go Lakers!!!

I have no desire to read 21 pages of trolling and other garbage from Fakers fans so here's my take on the game.
I think the Suns played decent ball for three quarters, but unfortunately for them the NBA plays a four quarter game. Mike D'Antoni was absolutely cluelesstoday. I don't know if he had a Christmas hangover, or if he was under directive from David $tern to throw the game (more on that later) but he looked likea junior high coach today.
The first five minutes of the fourth quarter is where many teams beat the Suns. Mike D'Antoni ALWAYS takes Steve Nash out to begin the fourth quarter.It's written in stone - no matter what the game situation dictates...Nash will be out of the game.
Most often teams can turn a close game into a 10 point lead during this time (or if the Suns are winning by a large margin they cut the defecit to a managablemargin) D'Antoni then puts Steve back in the game to restore order. Sometimes he's able to turn things around, but sometimes the momentum swing istoo much to turn around from - as it was today.
Then, even after Steve was in the game, D'Antoni kept Leandro Barbosa and Brian Skinner on the court and Raja Bell and Grant Hill on the bench. Barbosadidn't have a good game. Bell was shooting the ball well, but remained on the bench deep into the fourth quarter. Skinner was not doing anythingdefensively - he was letting that garbage bag Andrew Bynum have a field day.
Another reason we lost this game - Amare was not a factor. Sure, he had 19 points, but he was getting abused on the boards and spent too much time on the benchwith foul trouble. He seems to have regressed from his all-NBA first team season of last year. If he doesn't start to bring his A game we're in a worldof trouble this year. Amare is the guy that should be getting 28 & 12, not a talentless bag of crap like Andrew Bynum.
Now, I've gotta go on a tangent about ABC here. I was so nauseated watching this game. It was worse than watching a Fakers produced broadcast. Even thelate Chick Hearn wasn't as big of a Fakers homer as these douchebags calling the game today. Every thing the Fakers did was amazing, and the Suns were anafterthought. The entire halftime show was about the Fakers. Coming out of each and every time out there was some feature about something Fakers related. Ifyou were new to watching the NBA you'd have thought you were watching a Fakers scrimmage. Even during the Cavs / Heat game they talked more about FakersSG #24 then they did about the game that was being played at the time. Did David $tern send a memo that the Christmas broadcast was supposed to be 100% about#24? Did the Suns get that memo and comply? There's really no reason for a supposed national broadcast to be that blatantly biased towards one team /player.

You know what, I've got to give it up to Zodogg,
he actually posts after talking trash and then watching his team get smashed on.
Unlike some Nters *cough*S4L*cough*

It seems like you are in denial about Bynum. I'm sorry but the kid is a rising star. He gets better and better every game and is doing allthis without the team really running any plays for him. Dude is still young as hell too. You may not want to recognize what he is doing right now but sooner orlater you are going to have acknowledge him as a very good player. He had a field day with the Suns soft*@@% front courtIt is going to be fun watching him progress throughout the season.

Actually kinda true. I mean of course Bynum as an improving young player isnt "a talentless bag of crap" like a bitter PHX SON fan posted but he shouldnt have a better game then Amare.
So maybe Amare is "heartless bag of crap" with all sorts of talent but no drive to play defense/rebound?
(not even mentioning STAT's well advised 3pt attempt from the corner).
Speaking of Bynum and Stat, some one pull through and post the .gif of Bynum placing his scrotum on Amare's scalp.

If I'm a basketball coach, and my team is down by 7 with 2:00 left and my center (who is 9-49...18%... for his entire career from 3 pt range) takes athree pointer, I'm putting his%!+$ on the bench at the next stop in play. I don't care if he's a star, an all-star, an MVP, or what. There isabsolutely no excuse for taking that shot.

I think marc jackson was doing to much but jeff wasn't too bad. But why are we talking about the broadcasters? As much as I loved this win I just hope wecan keep this up. I mean last year it was the same thing and we fell off. That can not happen this year.

'He is not as big of a homer as her' = both him and her are homers
I was about to say the same thing about Chick, zodogg. I was about to say, "Ummm... dude wasn't a homer at all." But I didn't, because itwasn't really that important of a point to me. But the way you worded that definitely does not easily translate to "I don't think Chick was ahomer at all, not even a little bit." It translates to, "He was a homer, but not as bad as these guys."
Just saying...

1. Andrew Bynum has outplayed Amare "I Can Shoot 3's Too" Stoudemire twice
2. When Doug Collins does Suns game, he sounds like he you, a ridiculous homer.
3. I heard Mark Jackson and Van Gundy constantly praise Nash and D'Antoni through out the game.

Bro, I'm sorry to laugh, but that's hilarious!
The graphics in NBA Live '97 are more clear than the game you watched today.
