I'm sure Lebron actually did work hard to graduate from high school.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Hard work on the court.

How do you blow a 24 point lead? I know the Spurs are great but still.

Its the NBA...clippers did it against Memphis in the first round. 76ers came back yesterday against Boston. Dallas last year against the heat in the finals

 

[L.A.]

Love how most of our fans stayed and gave a standing ovation to our team. Whatever happen on Sunday this year was a franchise changing year.

The clips are done and looksl ike spurs moving on to the western conference finals.

or monday depending on the kings game

Let's also be real and stop saying this back to back effects both teams. It will only give the Thunder an advantage, it's idiotic from the NBA, and look for huge fast break numbers on offense from the Thunder.

 

[Anubis]

Conspirazee!!!!

 

[Hound55]

Fair point, because everyone knows that time moves at different speeds for home and away teams...

While the Lakers have less than 24 hours between games, the Thunder have meanwhile had the equivalent to 23 days worth of rest to prepare and review tape in their away team pocket dimension...

I mean having to play two games in a 24 hour stretch in a building where the Lakers pretty much own the refs isn't frigging hard enough... The Lakers go into other teams buildings and get home town calls.

 

[Scrandy Randy]

Conspirazee!!!!

No, not sure why they did it actually. Have they said why? Did it have something to do with the Clippers, Lakers, and Kings all playing in the same building right now?

 

[terry78]

OK, let's see what these Lakers can do tonight.

You've shown yourself to be quite the hater. Whether it's Kobe, the refs, you'll find something Laker related to complain about.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a team with one of if not the youngest roster in the league is going to have an advantage in a back to back.

Sounds like you're just trying to get your excuse together for why they got their ass kicked to me.

 

[John McGuirk]

So what happened to BlackLantern? I know I'm a little behind, but I was reading the Halo 4 thread and noticed he was banned.

 

[Anubis]

He pissed off the wrong mofo and has departed this plane of existence. He died like he lived.....a loud mouth, unrepentant, jerk.

God I'll miss him.

 

[Docker2.0]

L.A.........let's go. *loads up fishing gear*

No, I picked OKC over LA before the Playoffs started.

I just hate how all the pundits are beating around the bush about it not flat out admitting what they all know it really means and that's that it puts the Lakers at a pretty significant disadvantage.

 

[Anubis]

Ya huh.

 

[Hound55]

If they had to play back-to-back away you'd be saying the same thing again about the Lakers...

 

[TheWatcher]

Not BlackLantern

 

[Anubis]

And just like that it looks like the back to back hurt OKC more than the Lakers. So much for that theory.

I don't understand why the NBA made the Lakers and Spurs play back to back nights but yet Miami was off two days. Trying to give Bosh time to heal? Maybe? Trying to make L.A. pain of the Clippers losing over faster? Very possible.
