On the Nenne play, I think no call would have been the best call.

YAYareaRB · 05-27-2009, 11:34 PM

What was Nene expecting fair calls? The refs are human too and they hold grudges so jaw jacking at them the whole game is not the best idea and on top of that you have 5 fouls and 1 tech already.

I dont think that you can fault a player for expecting a game to be called fairly? Did you really just say that?

I think it's permanent. Cause like after 11 ET they just showed tapes. Now they can keep up with all the west coast sports that continued after regular sportscenter goes off. I like it because I usually stay up late so I have fresh sportscenter till past midnight central time.

Yes I watched the game. I understand that the refs call some ******** but I get tired of hearing the complaining. I mean all the things the Nuggets did wrong tonight and the only thing I hear about is the refs.

Billups and JR played like absolute **** and ****** up royally in the 4th, but the refs calling anything and everything on Nene and letting Melo get mauled didn't help.

the decider13 · 05-27-2009, 11:41 PM

This might have been the worst I've seen Billups play

He should bounce back at home.

Also... vote in the nba draft in the fantasy section

Yea I understand where someone would get pissed about the refs but you can't blame me for being annoyed by all the ref blaming because the Magic fans constantly ***** about it. Even during wins.

Just stop with the complaining already. It is pathetic.

Yea a foul on the LeBron. Take your homer shades off

thetedginnshow · 05-27-2009, 11:55 PM

I think as a great perimeter shooter you should never be allowed to miss wide-open threes. JR got swagger-jacked or something.

soybean · 05-27-2009, 11:57 PM

Kobe sucked in the fourth other than 2 sweet assists to Lamar.

Kobe almost cost us the game and i was really questioning him down the stretch.

Shannon Brown and Famar need to be the focal PGs I was counting how many points and fuckups that arised from Fisher's poor play and the result wasn't pretty.

Phil Jackson is pretty overrated too.

the team should just be Pau, Odom, Ariza and Brown (kidding... sorta).

YAYareaRB · 05-27-2009, 11:58 PM

I think Wilbon said it correctly when he said.. this was the ROAD JR Smith. You never know what you're gonna get from this guy.

KCJ58 · 05-27-2009, 11:59 PM

yay Lake show what up!

You're overanalyzing the win tonight. Kobe was a facilitator tonight. Those two swats from JR Smith were a result of some good defense.

What makes you say Phil is overrated?

Kobe was trying to get other players involved like he said in the interview after the game.

Phil Jackson=GOAT

If you sorta think Kobe shouldn't be on that team you are an idiot. Just because Odom decided to show up this game doesn't mean is going to bring it next game.

i think the lakers were outplayed numerous times this series.

The defense was horrible. He doesn't trust bynum even though bynum has a tremendous height advantage.

He opts to go with Fisher for the majority of the game when he's poison.

the reason sasha sucks and Lamar Odom was struggling was because they're not given enough minutes.

We have the better team, i don't know why he doesn't utilize that.

Also it doesn't seem he preaches effort too much

Denver crashed the boards for offensive rebounds, you could see 5 denver players around trying to get the ball which lead to two loose balls ending up in the hands of the Nuggets. When lakers miss it's only Lamar and Pau that are around and the others are already headed their way back to the other side of the court.

Some small irritating things i noticed.

And Kobe had butterfingers and turned the ball over a lot down the stretch, that's no lie. not saying he does that every game but still.

Burns336 · 05-28-2009, 12:06 AM

I think both of Nene's final 2 fouls we're bad calls.

That being said, Denver still played so sloppy after they hit 76 pts. They were stuck on 76 for like 8 minutes because even reliable starters like Billups were making dumb ass mistakes.

Denver got screwed on some calls, and I feel like Nene got the worst of it, but I don't think they played good enough to win this game... They let the calls get to them and knock the rhythm out of them. Not enough discipline from Carl imo. If he had some discipline in his coaching, JR Smith would be 6 man of the year, Melo would be in the MVP talk, and the team would be stronger. Instead he lets the Nuggets play this semi-ghetto energy ball and they will fall to the Lakers because of it.

I think as Laker fans we should enjoy the win tonight instead of overanalyzing the game and trying to find little things to stay unhappy.

I feel like I'm watching the GS Warriors half of the time.

No matter how the media wants to spin it, they refuse to fully commit to defense, they often rush possessions and shoot 3's within the first 8-10 seconds of the shot clock. They have an awesome player in JR Smith that they waste because they refuse to mold him into a smart player that doesn't waste possessions and who uses his athleticism on the defensive end.

Their interior paint is made up of mentally unstable players who crack, crumble and self destruct when they get tooled(Martin/Birdman) and a bunch of guys who can't control their emotions, which affects the whole stability of the team.
