Dude you are a Kobe fan I don't think you have a right to call anyone else arrogant at all.
But it was a good game tonight. Kobe abused the Suns. Even though I don't cheer for him I'm still amazed at his offensive skills. That turnaround in the last two minutes was a perfect end to his night. Wow.

I think you'll find there's plenty of hate for this Suns team amongst fans of teams that play them regularly. The team never seems to give their opponent credit, they think very highly of themselves despite never having achieved anything of significance and D'Antoni is just a bitch.
I like most of the players on the Suns though, save for Marion and Amare.
EDIT: Pat Burke's comments about Kobe are typical of the arrogant shit the Suns say. A ****ing scrub whose ass is glued to the end of the bench is going to complain about how Kobe Bean Bryant is playing? Where the **** does he get off thinking anyone gives a shit what he has to say? Why would he trash a player who's infinitely more talented than him?
We're back in this series. I honestly was not expecting this kind of a performance from Kobe after his ankle twist in Game 2, but luckily I was wrong. We need that type of performance from Kwame and Lamar every game.
Hopefully we use this momentum to our advantedge.

wait, lakers fans say they dislike the suns players attitudes but you support asshole/rapist kobe bryant or the biggest dickweed of all "zen master" phil jackson? give me a break. suns are alright with me! plus i like their style of play on the court. this series is over in 5 games.
Some Bulls fan probably did this to James Posey's wiki page:lol
Let me copy and paste the part before somebody edits it out:
"Posey is gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, 200% trans-gender, and David Stern's butt buddy. He gets away with a lot of stuff because he performs lap dances for the league"

Wow, what an awesome game for the Lakers last night. 
I still don't know if we can win another game in the series. You can't expect Kobe to play like that every night, he is going to need more help offensively (looking at you Luke Walton) if the Lakers are reasonably going to have a chance.
I was really impressed with Farmar's defense on Nash. The supposed MVP and best basketball player looked anything but with a rookie harassing him all night. Even some guys named Smush Parker and Shammon Williams were forcing him into spots he was obviously not comfortable with. Lets see if we can keep up that kind of defense.
Kobe of course was off the charts amazing. Not only was he embarassing Marion and Bell on a consistent basis (quick someone make a gif of Stoudamire falling on his ass), but he was making some key defensive plays in the third and fourth quarter. I was surprised Kobe had any gas left in him at all at the end of the game.
I didn't understand the weird small lineup Phil went with for the majority of the fourth quarter, because Shammond and Smush are just beyond worthless and it puts too much on Kobe, but since we won I can't complain.
Time for game 4.
Oh yeah, at the Rockets playoff record last night. :lol
Rockets fans can no longerl laugh at Smush Parker (but every other fanbase is allowed to and even encouraged). They wish they had Smush Parker coming off their bench last night!

This sucks.
Now the Lakers front office is going to keep this same shitty team next season.
Oh well.

Lakers are not that far away from competing in my opinion. Walton and Odom can and will play better next season if they can stay healthy.teruterubozu said:
Kwame is not the answer at center, but he is a reliable big body who will rebound and play defense. If Mihm is decent next season that will give the Lakers 3 decent centers to take up space.
I hope Cook's contract is up because he is worthless, but really the Lakers just need a big man to replace either Kwame or Mihm and a decent point guard (Farmar will be great as a backup and can take over the role in another year).
The game of basketball is not that hard to play when you have Kobe getting double and triple teamed. They just need a few more elements and you will be surprised at how fast the Lakers can improve.

Well, we'll see what happens w/Luke in the offseason.
Odom is...Odom - he'll always be inconsistent throughout his career and he's NEVER been 100% healthy (been watching since Clipperdom).
Other than that, you're basically saying everyone is a good back-up.
I'm tired of this line-up - I'm tired of "young with potential".
This is by far the worst Lakers squad since Sedale Threat was running point (and I like that team even better).

Well what do you suggest they do? Do you think the Lakers should trade for another star? I could go for the idea depending on who we could get but I am totally against Oneal and Garnett. Oneal is a bum and Garnett is past his prime. Who does that leave us with? How many superstars are even left in the NBA? And of those that are stars how many are tradeable?teruterubozu said:
Remember the Lakers were playing great earlier in the season before they got the injury bug. Once they address the huge hole at PG I feel the rest of the team will be much more solid. Again I feel it comes down to Kobe, just give him a competant team and he can contend for a championship. He isn't Steve Nash or Dirk. He doesn't have to be surrounded by all star talent in order to contend.
Not say the Lakers don't need to make changes, because they do, but I feel they have a good core at the moment. However, Sasha, Smush, and Cook are all beyond worthless and you could add almost any bench player from any other team and it would be a big upgrade.
