Lakers Bench

[JackStraw]

Jesus Christ can the Lakers Bench Fuck up an under or what?
These guys got to be the most desprate Mother Fuckers in the world.

2 minutes left up by 20 and its a track meet if they just run there offense it goes under by 6-8 points.

I am sure all the squares love it but eventually it will end because if this team is going to compete for a championship these jackoffs they have on the bench are going to have to learn how to play basketball and not run around like its Tuesday Night at the YMCA.

:drink:

The Lakers bench is why I don't play Lakers unders anymore. No under is safe with the Lakers bench. These 2 little fuckers Sasha and Farmar will come into the game up by 20 and just jack shots up and score transition points as if they were down by 20.

The only reason you had a chance at the under was cause of the bench, there were only 11 points scored in the last 4:51 seconds, this game should have gone way over, except that they went almost 4 minutes with 1 point scored. It would have been shocking for this game to go under considering all they needed is 14 points with 6 minutes left, so the bench acutally made it close.

didnt cover for 2 half...wut a three out of no where..tell me nba is not fixed..lost 2 g alrdy in this season..lake's beach turn the ball over like 5 times in last 5 mins..:shocked:

If you were a bench player you would play the same way. You don't earn more minutes by holding back.

 

[ou_guy]

a total play with the lakers should be over or no play IMO

 

[seriousaddiction]

I can take 5 players from the Lakers bench and play with OKC, Minny and Charlotte and win most of the time...they have a tremendous bench and that is why they will win the NBA championship this year HANDS DOWN

 

[Mr_Mark]

yea i been lakers over almost every other game so far. they are straight run and gun who and can knock down the 3 also

the bench is really the ones who build the big lead for the lakers... they seem to not be getting enough credit for it either lol

I'm not sure about that. I think that Detroit and Boston would both beat them in a seven game series, and I could easily see about 5 teams in the West beating them.

detroit might not have home court advantage in the playoffs (seeded lower than 4).....they are terrible and look old compared to what they have been in the past...i dunno how u think they can win even 1 game in a 7 game series vs the lakers.....they dont have one advantage over them at any position, depth, or facet of the game.


i dont see how the lakers get past orlando in the east, let alone boston.....(although i think orlando is the best in the east)

hell id take atlanta over detroit and maybe even philly

considering detroit has already beat LA this year in their only meeting pretty easily ON THE ROAD. detroit could easily win the title this year. they are head and shoulders above atlanta and philly. philly might not even be a playoff team, but i think they could sneak in. only teams that i can see beating detroit in the playoffs is boston. orlando isnt there yet imo. toronto could easily beat orlando if they meet again this year and toronto is certainly better than philly.

only teams i can see stopping the pistons in the playoffs are boston and lebron james. cleveland doesnt worry me, but he does. we could easily see james win a championship this year and hed have to carry the team himself to do it.

I am not saying that there bench is bad. Your right they have a good bench for the style they play. My point is going out there and turning the ball over, running up and down the floor like madmen will not win a championship. I know it was garbage time but minutes are minutes and they should be used to make this team better and it will stop. Phil Jackson was talking about it in a post game interview.
When it does stop the unders will start cashing$$$$

I really don't think this team can win it all. Once they start playing teams in the east that can control the tempo of the game we will see how good they are.

I would say Boston will repeat or Cleveland both could beat LA like a drum.

Nothing is shoking in the NBA!!! If that game would of went under last night it would not been a shock to me at all. I have seen way worse fucked up shit then that in this league. Stayed tuned and keep watching

 

[fugazi]

The detroit game is that last time I played the under in a Laker game. In that game I remember i had 20 points to spare with like 3 mins left but then the lakers bench went off and detroit kept turning the ball over instead of running out the clock.
Only total play with Lakers like someone said is Over or nothing at all.

with all due respect Straw, I have bet over 4800 nba totals in the last 8 years, and have seen it all, and I am telling you, for the lakers and the raptors to not score 14 with over 6 minutes left would have been shocking. spurs and rockets would be one thing but the position this over was in with 6 Plus left, it would have taken a miracle to take it under.

Your Right
BUT
If Toronto misses that 3 at the end I would of pushed on 208
Miracle or not it was that close

GL Tonight :toast:

 

[poopah]

I had it over 205, so easy for me. It is tough to watch a game with that many good shooters and root for the under. :toast:

San Antonio, Houston, Utah, New Orleans, Portland, Phoenix and maybe even Denver could all beat LA in the playoffs and I wouldn't be surprised at all. I would not make any of those teams favored over LA, but all could beat them without surprise. Denver with AI I would say would have no shot, but they are much, much better with Billups than they were with Iverson. The West is up for grabs this year.

The East will win the title though. Boston, Detroit and Cleveland could all beat any West team.
