"The Lakers are trying to become the first team in finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a title, and they're one step closer. If they can win Game 6 on Tuesday night in TD Banknorth Garden, they'll force a decisive Game 7 to cap a season as trying as any in commissioner David Stern's career."
Hey someone has to be first. It's like that first job. The first man on the moon.
"most trying" in David Stern's career though? What? Is it coz of the fixed nature of game 2?
I dont believe I am on the blog, I have been M.I.A. pretty much all series. The Lakers make me SCHITTY nervous, pun def intended!! I know, I know, T.M.I.! But it's the truth.
I couldnt watch last game, and I learned we won the next day. I want/dont want to watch tonite. Hell, I am nervous as all hell. This Lakers team makes me nervous cuz they haven't gotten that killer instinct in them to put teams away..I am still not overly impressed with Boston, they are good but we can PLAY Better.
Nuff said.
I pray we WIN..Go Lakers..Stay Strong Blog Fam hold it down for me if I dont come back online during the game to blog...
Odom just used the "kill or be killed" line with Michelle Tafoya pregame. Hopefully Lamar can walk the walk tonight. Lets get it done and prove everyone wrong. Game 7 here we come!!!!!!!!!
In honor of what will probably be the last game of an incredible season for the Lakers, I vow not to say ONE negative thing about Pau Gasol. Nothing but positive, optimistic energy from me tonight.
"Does anybody really think the lakers are going to win or is it just more hope than anything?

Good question. Personally, I don't think the Lakers will win. In fact, I think we get blown out tonight. But I truly do hope we take this game and take the series.
On the real fo real, this is OUR game 7..So we have to WIN plain and simple -- This is OUR GAME 7, throw your guns in the air and wave 'em like you just don't care! Come out blazin & ready to BUCK shots!
Go Lakers..I maybe too nervous to watch but I got me a bottle so I am gonna be good either way! LOL
Faith and Troy I agree. This is the first time since december of this season that I did not go into a game thinking the lakers were going or could win. I have hope tonight but I just don't see a win tonight. I hope I am wrong but don't see it. But have to hold my head up and say it has been a great season win or lose tonight.
listen all lakers fans i love the lakers and think kobe is the greatest but we got out coached played and toughed and kobe as great as he is punked out on us he took too many jumpers if mj was in this series he would have made the refs call by driving to the hole every time he touched the ball kobe gave up settled for jumper after jumper and gasol and odem don't let me start there they continue to get man handled under the basket when gasol posted up they drove him all the way out to the 3point line no strenght at all and odem can't hit a 13 foot shoot to save his life he needs to work on his shoot or be traded cause if bynum is down low odem going to play where with gasol down low too so we need to adjust the line up and get someone other than kobe who can create off the dribble

Magazine and ESPN.com, and co-authored Fishing on the Edge, the autobiography of 2003 Bassmaster Classic champion Mike Iaconelli, bass fishing's bad boy. While both grew up in St. Louis without NBA
basketball, Andrew became a die hard Lakers fanatic after moving to L.A. to attend USC. That he managed to find a job requiring him to obsess over his favorite team, the same activity that prompted him to waste time while working other jobs, is pretty incredible. As for Brian, his baptism into pro hoops fandom has been provided by the "All Lakers, All The Time" citizens of Los Angeles. Beats the hell out of covering the Bucks.

There's only one key for the Lakers...Kobe Bryant.
If Kobe shoots better than 50% the first quarter, then we win this game hands down.
If Kobe comes out and we see him missing alot of shots, then we lose. It's as simple as that.

They have already handed the MVP trophy to Peirce, we need to Take it Back! Take the entire series back!
Posted by: lakersrydeordie | June 17, 2008 at 05:37 PM
All we need to do is stop jamming Pierce and play off a little. T think a lot would be solved that way and Lamar and Gasol staying out of foul trouble
