GM4: LA Lakers (2) @ Phoenix (1)

[ballorama]

Kobe came to play, others didnt.. wasn't expecting the bench output.

 

But..

Game 5- LAKERS

Game 6- SUNS

Game 7- Lakers.

Like it always is!

[Mentch]

Lakers will win eventually, NBA is probably making it interesting just to prove that it isnt fixed

Olé.

 

Lakers are 1-3 in road playoff games off one day's rest. The tendency is to say Kobe needs the rest but the reality is they all do. Price you pay for going old and having a worthless bench from 7-12. The switch to Staples should reverse the shooting fortunes but the change that's needed is intelligent effort. Killed on the defensive glass by the Suns? No excuses for that. The Lakers were exposed tonight as a two-man team. This keeps up Bynum will switch from a playmate on his shoulders in LA to snow in Toronto, Bosh willing.

 

Kobe did everything but sell peanuts but if the rest of the team takes the night off it doesn't matter. The danger is they have just one day between games the rest of the way. Therefore LA has to get bench input, on both ends.

Glad we won today, wasn't as confident we'd win this like I was with game 3 though.

Feels good when you win and all the L.A fans are guaranteing wins. Our bench played amazing today, the pace throughout the game was terrific for us. I did call a Frye blow up just didnt post it. lol

 

Im feeling confident for Game 5 and still wondering what L.A will do against our zone.

Will you please shut up NOT all LA fans were guaranteeing wins stop with your assumptions. Majority of us thought this would be a 5 game series at most but creduit to you guys for pushing us to the limit.

Kobe was a beast out there, but as everyone has already said, no one else came to play for the Lakers.

 

With the foul attempts thing, I think Phoenix has just been much more aggressive. Besides Kobe, everyone else seemed dead. Lakers settled for too many jumpers.
