Can someone tell me what happened to the Lakers last night???

Despite Kobe's 50 points Steve Nash and his crew were very determined. I think mostly because of all of the Lakers careless turnovers and all of those costly fouls. But one thing I am sure about is that Game:7 is going to be a great battle.(In more than one way). ( Kobe VS. Raja)

why is this so hard to believe. The Lakers have one of the greatest coaches coaching them in the zenmaster. They have the best player in the nba in kobe bean bryant, and he came in with more chips on his shoulders because steve nash might have robbed the mvp award from him. And like you mentioned, they have a vastly improved luke walton, i have to give him credit for that because he was terrible a year ago, and lamar odom is a triple double threat any given night; he has been fantastic throughout the playoffs thus far. Also, Smush Parker's heroics and shutting down Steve Nash fairly well. Phil Jackson's Lakers have the better formula in their style of play to win in the playoffs, they play slow tempo and try to maintain control. The Suns play a more fast break style added with the three ball that they live or die on. Nash is their playmaker and locking him down breaks down the engine. The games have been close because of the freak of nature shawn marion, without him like you saw in the extra period of the last game, the suns could not buy many baskets other than on the perimeter. It never hurts to have the clutchest shooter in the game today either!

Yes the stars did well, its just the bench almost blew the game. They weren't agressive, trying to shoot outside shots. They never made them. D'Antoni was frustrated with them and he wanted Nash and Stoudemire have a break, but he had to put them back in because of the bench's horrible job.

Here's what happened. Artest fouled Wallace. Wallace returned the favor by shoving Artest by his face. They got broke up, Artest then began chillaxin on the scorers table when he got hit by a Pistons fans girly-like underhand toss of his O'douls Lite, which clocked Artest in his mug. Then a hockey game broke out. The rest is history. \n\nP.S. Artest? When you get ready to leave Sacramento after an awesome career..... Can you CHIN CHECK Kobe for us Sacramento Fans? LMAO ...... GO KINGS!!!!!

Lakers fan here also.  Last night was a great game for me.  I loved Odom and Bynum last night.  Odom really stepped up with Kobe out, and if he keeps playing like he did last night, the Lakers will kick ass.  Bynum is really developing, only his 2nd year, and he's becoming a good starting center.  Imagine the Lakers with Kobe, Mihm, and Brown back.  Their future is looking bright!

whats disappointing was the fact the lakers were up 3-1 and in that position you should not lose a playoff series.\n\nwhats not disappointing was that they got to a position to be up 3-1. the lakers were expected to lose this series but the fashion they did it--teasing fans of the improbable and then failing to follow throught--was disappointing.\n\nthere is always next year.

No.. Its was a bad call by Jerry Buss, he panicked when they failed to win a championship 2 yrs in a row evn by acquiring Malone and Payton,thinking Shaq and Kobes 3peat might rot , he chose to make the lakers self destruct..Thus sendng shaq to the heat and rebuilding around kobe.. But putting a Brown experiment and a soft girl like Odom alongside Kobe will never do.\n\nThe result? lakers are now just another NBA team..

You mean about yesterday because the Lakers were on. Disgraceful, really! I was waiting to watch Gilmore Girls after a hard labor at work to discover that they've been moved to saturday night at 8pm!!Why don't they do that for the Lakers?

It was an awesome game. I am a die hard Clippers fan so it hurt to see them go down like that, but that's alright. I will be at the game tomorrow night to watch them win game 6 and hope they beat the Suns over in Phoenix in Game 7! Go Clippers!

The Lakers are definitely a better TEAM because of his reduced avg shots per game.  I believe the TEAM is better because of his, Kwame and Chris Mihms early season injuries.  It has given TEAM members like Andrew Bynum, Vladimir Radmanovic, Ronny Turiaf, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, Smush Parker, Maurice Evans, and the sometimes under appreciated Lamar Odom to gain confidence in their respective games.  The true test for the Lakers is when Kobe is at 100% can the TEAM exist with Kobe??  If they can.........can you say Dark horse from the west???

I think that the Lakers- after the Pistons and the Hornets and the Spurs- are finally playing like a team. Sure- they are getting 40 from Kobe every once in a while, but he is their superstar. Odom has been red-hot, and Smush along with a few other bench players have been doing great to give them the win. They finally realize team ball is the key. And they have taken 7th seed, 1.5 behind Memphis for 6th. The #1 thing best to do in the second half of the NBA season is heat up and go hard down the stretch of the last 30 games to make a playoff spot. You'll see- the Lakers are for real now. They've always been on and off- but I think that they all have finally realized that it's not giving it to Kobe. Kwame helps in the post, defense and offense both. Smush is a scorer, Lamar is an all-around and Kobe is the super-star. I think that the Lakers can go all the way- no joke. They've beat the Mavs, Spurs, Pistons, Heat, Clippers, but we still have the Suns. Let's go Lakers.

No way, the lakers do not have enough fire power. And Lamar Odom is not yet ready for primetime. Maybe next season!
