i'm not rooting for anyone, i'm just commenting that i want memphis to win it all and i would not be sad if dirk got a ring...i only stick to my one team in each sport

if you decided not to watch because your team has been knocked out, yesterday was the best day of the entire playoff so far

Typical bandwagon jumper!!

f the lakers guys. i'm goin into hater mod and rooting for memphis all the way. Screw lebron, screw boston, screw the mvp and the chi, screw kevin durantula and his civil war with westbrook. i mean, how funny would that be? who saw mike conley jr, zebo, marc gasol, tony allen, shane battier, oj mayo and company being champion? you almost forget their best player is out for the year (rudy g@y)

i'm memphis guy the rest of the way. i ain't watching a laker game unless they force a game 6

Typical bandwagon jumper!

Just as expected Celtics just too old and injured

You were right... You should use the money you put on the Lakers game and put on the Heats instead

miami gonna mop the floor with the celts IMO..

Yep, they just can't keep together in the last 5 mins of 4th quarter. Bad defense n bad turn over. Rondo n O'neal didn't even play 4th quarter.

Actually, he's not forgotten... He's the reason we got the repeat, and the reason we didn't get a second threepeat. When you're a public idol, you live and die with the publicity...

even though this is partly true, it is his fault, partially, but our bench, what the hell?

so i'm not defending him, my problem is just that it's sad to me how much we loved our hero when he's on top, but slip once and we're gonna hang you out to dry

that's how it goes though, but that's just sad

I feel you, but that's occupational hazard Just like actor, actress, model... celebrity lives and dies with his/her image. It looked bad when Phil pounded on Pau chest on national TV. To make it worse, Phil did it twice. I bet you if it's allowed, Phil would slap Pau to get him snapped! You can't blame the bench... They're backup, not starter!

Out of gas!!

Are you serious... Is this your first Season of basketball Lol? Every Championship Team needs good back ups. If that's the case then why not pick up you and me for 100K and flood the starters with 100% elite player$?

Sorry but I 1mill% disagree w/ya Lol.

I mean then why even take out the starters... Let them play the whole game to get more glory??

I am talking about where the blame should be.. I'm not talking about whether a team need good backup. Of couse, good team has deep bench, but that's not the point. When the team lost a game, who got the blame first? The coach, isn't it? Then who's next? Starter or bench?

 

[West1]

I believe the blame goes equally around to those who played on the court. I don't think a Coach would select you in try outs and place you in a game to burn time until the Star is ready. If you get a chance, then you contributed to the Loss.
A star is always going to get more heat than others and I feel the bench has been the most consistent inconsistency on the Laker squad this year. I do feel Pau played soft and made bad decisions, it was obvious . With that, I still see the bench as our Flat Tire

 

[deangelo]

tsk tsk tsk..Lakers got the 6th man of the year but they got no bench..
