F-ck i just hate to see Griffin go to Washington. They are like the graveyard of #1 picks. I bet Sactown doesn't get the first pick though LOL.

FUCK that was tense. I'm more relieved than satisfied. Lakers need to have better first quarters.

Pau came up big at the end, and of course Kobe closed the game very smartly. Ariza had a BIG STEAL after having a mediocre game.

great day for LA

I only got to watch the 4th of the game, but that was good.

and for the clips. If the clips keep the pick and pick up griffin, I almost feel bad for griffin, since he probably won't start unless they somehow get rid of z-bo. and hopefully he is a stud and doesn't end up like the last clippers #1 pick. Given the clippers history though, there isn't much of a chance of him becoming a superstar player

amazing game tonight just got home haha
idk if you guys saw, but i was the dude on espn when they did a postgame wrapup outside staples
the big dude with glasses pushing everyone haha

but the game was freaking amazing atmosphere, especially at the ariza steal and fisher three
lakers need to play like they did in the 2nd for a full game
denver, sucks for them. they out shot us, out rebound, etc... but still lose. i'm waiting to see how they bounce back from the game.

and welcome to LA Blake Griffin
You'll be committing basketball suicide by playing for the Clippers

Why the hell do you keep in Anthony Carter late in the game?

Defence purpose? NO, He is getting posted everyplay and Kobe is getting And 1 everytime!

Jr.Smith Defence is WAY BETTER! and he can score the ball!

AND NO TIME OUTS? GIVE ME A BREAK!

Nuggets didn't lose the game, George Karl LOST THE GAME FOR THEM!

^^^ A. Carter =. period.

You do remember that Melo called time out when he got double team, and when Martin was down on the floor... They wasted those time outs, not Geroge. I don't blame him one bit. If you want to blame someone, blame fucking Carter. He is a old mofo can't do crap.

Lakers played a solid game last night. I think they take care of business and beat the Nuggets in 5 games. Get some rest and beat the lebrons in 6.

Lakers are the best team in the league. just because they struggled with the rockets, doesnt mean that they are a bad team. Remember, Houston was 1 game from being the 2nd seed in the west.

i don't think anyone's implying that the lakers are a bad team.

i think lots of folks are jumping on the nuggets' bandwagon because:
1) they hate the lakers and/or
2) they think the nuggets have the players and matchups to cause problems for the lakers

If Denver could hit a free throw they would have stole game one. Still, very entertaining game. Should be a good series...

^ i don't think we'll ever see another game in which chauncey misses 3 free throws. (unless he shoots like 90 of them)

and yao has a hairline fracture. i'm not a doctor, but my understanding is that he can still walk on it perfectly, but he can't put too much weight on it while running/jumping/etc.

i also don't think we'll see another game in which so many of the calls was one sided. unbelievable missed calls. hell, the only ones we got were the intentional fouls at the end of the game.

yea, there was soo many times that denver went physical with the lakers and ever got called for any fouls. Btw Fish was clutch in that game. made his points when needed.
