I know I'm not in here often, and I'm new, but I'm undefeated in the Atlanta Falcons forum, so I thought maybe I'll bring some good luck over here. I plan on getting involved in this forum too. Always been around, just never really jumped into any discussion. Lets Go Lakers!

Awesome, thanks man!

Another loss making LA 9-14.......... I have zero faith in this team right now. Only guys I believe will show up are Kobe, J. Hill and Metta, maybe Howard, depending on how he is feeling that day.

Who is this newbie?

An undeafted GT maker this year. I come from a land from a land down under, granting teams wins by simply typing codes.

I say we win this one.

Just to be bizarre.

Also kobe loves ****ing over the knicks on the msg, he will probably go for 50.

Whenever kobe scores 30+ we lose though

[GREATNESS ONE]

Hmmm Just bring the W.



I know we're all getting restless and frustrated. I could understand how difficult it might be for the team to always be surrounded by the media especially with the expectations.


But let's not kid ourselves.

The team with the best record in the regular season rarely wins te Finals. It's not about how you start it's about how you finish.

It's frustrating but be patient, if it clicks(which I think it will) we'll be a very tough opponent and match-up nightmare for everyone.

Don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing to happen lol.

Honestly though, I expect Howard to get locked up by Chandler. We might need a big game from Kobe to have a chance... but this one could get ugly. JR and Brewer are good defenders as well, same with Kidd. 3 guys to put on Kobe.

Dwight needs to score 25+... I've lost faith in Howard's post game. Unless it's a dunk, it seems like he turns it over or is lazy in sealing and the defender just roams around for a steal. Although our guards get a TO for that, I know Kobe had one for sure, that's all on Howard. Dwight needs to learn how to seal like Kobe and Pau.

[shep33]

I say there is a 3% chance we win. I just don't know how we're going to score. Also, this is a game where we have to watch Metta. He used to give Melo fits, but we'll see what happens this time around.
