[ashavf12]

never that... phil jackson is getting ring 10 this year...

[stevehwan]

YEAH LAKERS WON!

[SpringSauce23]

kobe only needed half a game to be a leading scorer in game 1 -_-

[crtnyevans]

lol i know i was like damn we are down by 20..next thing you know we were up by four..he is unstoppable

[RazzEeir]

im probably gonna have thumbs down on this but lakers win 4-3---remember, the spurs are good, so dont make fun of them (GO LAKERS 08 CHAMPS!!!)

[mannyfizzle]

i dont know why all these fuckin haters like to talk shit about the spurs they are the defending champs and have won 4 out of the last 9 titles so who really cares if they are boring to watch..they play to win championships and theyre damn good at it!!!FUCK THE LAKERS!!!

[SGTCross39]

i was respecting you til you said, "fuck the lakers" seriously, spurs have had little to no time to rest after TWO game sevens. to make it worse, we're at home... it's guaranteed we will have NEW champions...L.A.

[crtnyevans]

just one game 7..they went five games with phoenix

[crtnyevans]

and haven't the lakers won 3 of the last nine?

[aredondoo]

Ay Yo i met Bruce Bowen. i got his autograph and shook his hand told him wats up and he was FREAKIN tall! it was at a San Antonio Spurs Basketball Camp in San Antonio...

[almx123]

the spurs are taking it all again

[izits01]

spurs r sooo gay and boring to watch and im sure every1 agrees... lakers are very fun to watch especially if its agianst the celtics bcuz thats the right there

[nekbeth]

Anybody suspicious about why a team would trade a Superstar in the middle of the season for kawme Brown and some first picks???? Who in his 5 senses would do such a trade if MILLIONS under the water are not offer to you??? who else but the Faker team (who have a reputation to bring Allstart from day to night all of the sudden.

Like Popovich said.. there needs to be an evaluation about trades that DON"T MAKE SENSE....SALARY CAPS means nothing if teams continue to buy players illegally.

[brisbaneballer]

im happy about Boston beating Detroit in game 1 :)

[naruto31077]

well. i want lakers to win it all. it will be a tough matchup though. and y are people still comparing michael jordan to kobe bryant. how bout we just say that jordan was the greatest legend of the past and kobe is the greatest legend of today.

[mrage28]

i think that celtics might win nba title.spurs sucks

[ChristianSerratosFan]

Lakers and Celtics would be a great matchup, but I hope the Spurs win it all.

[chouavue2]

remember the laker won tho with shaq. n shaq is one of the most dominate center ever on offence n defence. meanwhile the spurs have almost all the same ppl since then.

[duromus]

Lakers and Spurs....teams that have been NBA Champions since 1999, except 2004, Pistons, and 2006 the Heat. Crazy these 2 teams dominate the NBA Finals after the Bulls Dynasty and the Rockets Dynasty of the 1990s! 1999: Spurs * 2000: Lakers * 2001: Lakers * 2002: Lakers * 2003: Spurs * 2004: Pistons 2005: Spurs * 2006: Heat 2007: Spurs * 2008: CELTICS???????????

[duromus]

The Bulls and Rockets: teams that have been NBA Champions in the 90s between 1991 and 1998! 1991: Bulls 1992: Bulls 1993: Bulls 1994: Rockets (MJ retired) 1995: Rockets (MJ retired) 1996: Bulls 1997: Bulls 1998: Bulls 1999: Spurs (MJ retired) Damn! MJ could have won 1994, 1995 and 1999 if he didnt retire! He would have been a true NBA King of the 1990s with 9 straight NBA titles! Whew!!!!!!!!

[larry89]

KOBE BITCHES. i hope the lakers and the celtics square off.

[knighthood8]

no 1 can stop kobe!!! there you said it already!!!! analyze this????the defensive player mvp (kobe) with 30+ppg will face the most defensive player (bowen) with 6ppg in the western finals......does this ring the bell????? you decide!

[nekbeth]

LAKERS organization needs to be INVESTIGATED..Why would you trade a Superstar like Gasol for two first picks & Kwame Brown??? it's non sense. the only explanation is that Memphis took MILLIONS for this trade to happen. If any investigation took place.. Laker's president, vice presidents or eve owners would give JAIL TIME.

* Thanks to this trade, Bryant had his MVP too (bought too)

NBA IS GETTING WORST EVERY SEASON... a lot of mafia stuff going inside there. (specially with the Lakers

[gabebd04]

fisher better then parker???

are you fucking kidding me

[midiland20]

Bowen's a good defender and had take down Kobe during playoff round 2 in 2003 or 2004 championship....But this year, I hope Kobe can do whatever he can to shake off Bowen....I hope Gasol find his strenght within if he's matching with Duncan....I don't worry Odom cuz he's a powerful forward and no one can take him down...Fisher is better than Parker...Farmar and Vujacic need to practice more shooting...Man, I hope Bynum is there too... Walton has to get back to his game...

[pgmjc18]

I hate the lakers so much, b/c of kobe. But even so, the Spurs will be dominant in this series. If they are focused, they will win. The spurs also have more weapons than the 1-man team of Kobe. Sure gasol, odom, fisher are great, but did you see luke walton get punished by someone half his size last week. He sucks. Farha is ok, but there is only like 3.5 ppl on that team. Fischer is the .5

[Krillinish2]

One-man team? C'mon. Have you been watching this season? Kobe is past that, now.

[pgmjc18]

kobe will forever be stigmatized by first insulting nba fans everywhere...There can only be one Jordan. He was the greatest of all time. There are some things that kobe does that are jordaneque, but thats b/c he had jordan as an inspiration. He thinks hes better than everyone else.But thank goodness for the king and others who will bring him down...wade...the truth aka paul pierce

[clintonnewman]

i hope bruce has done away with his over the top moves. super defender.. not so super decisions. kobe wont be denied by anyone else on that team but bruce. look for the lakers to jump out early with smooth offensive sets. they are playing the best basketball right now on both ends.

[victorsweet]

man its all about the lakers...bowen sucks..he does nothing on offense if u dont forget about him..and whos he goin 2 gaurd?? kobe, lamar, or gasol...duncans gonna have to help and that jus opens it up for another..and fisher is a veteran..hes been playin parker for years..theyll lakers will be ready..spurs have no answer except maybe ginobli only cuz i dont kno how kobes gonna play wit his back..but yea..lakers gonna take it!!

[levkenjump]

kobe for win.

lakers gonna win with 4-2

and in final 4-0 :p

[normanpogi23]

bowen definitely hurt kobe

[kinetsuhayabusa313rd]

i hope kobe posterizes bowen.

even tho i am a fan of neither team im wanting the lakers to win. purely because i wana c lakers - celtics in the finals.

[duromus]

It could be Lakers, Spurs or Pistons winning it all in 2008. Those 3 teams dominated all the NBA Finals since 1999, except 2006 (Miami Heat). I prefer 2008 to go to the underdog Celtics. I'm a little sick of Spurs and Lakers. Too bad the Heat could not maintain a dynasty run. May be the Celtics?

[kapetanmarul]

r you an idiot?UNDERDOG celtics?they had the best record and had 3 all stars.everybody expects them to win.than by what logic r they underdogs

[duromus]

Underdog because this celtics team never won a championship. the celtics dynasty was back in the 1980s and 1960s. not in the 21st century. that's why celtics are underdogs. who cares about regular season stats? NBA playoffs and NBA Finals are a different playground. The big 3 have yet to REALLY prove themselves starting in the East Finals. The regular season simply got them to the playoffs, nothing more. The test of who they REALLY are as a team has just begun on May 20, 2008: hence, UNDERDOG.

[kinetsuhayabusa313rd]

true true and ummmm true.

if the celtics fire on all cylinders then they should hav no trouble beating the pistons to get to the finals.

and i hope they face a good lakers team cause the spurs are just geting old now.sure they are good but who wants to c parker driving and tim back down another defender for another 14 games. not meeeeeee

[cmchinky]

bowen will made to look like a lil boy by kobe..!lakers all the way baby

[dandyreyes]

lakers in 6!!  hell no one can stop kobe!!

[123152467]

LOL Bowen one of the best defender in the leauge

he is the best dirty player in the leauge LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[seafoamfashion]

kobe will beat bowen all day! all day!

[rashd1313]

[rashd1313]

Bowen

[rashd1313]

fck does not show my browser

[smithybros]

parker is shit anyway the only thing he is good at is sucking

[tUrkolu05]

f u bowen don't hurt KB.24

[22benny]

don't you just love it when laker fans state the obvious that the spurs cant stop kobe but equally do not have anyone to guard Tony Parker. You could throw Kobe at Manu to slow him down, but don't forget that quick guards have been the weakness of Fisher since he was their starter. don't tell me the lakers would be relying on sasha to contain parker.

[ssyssou]

Lakers in 6 or 7

[jumpman1323]

Lakers in 6.. i respect the defending champ, but this time is Lakers n Kobe's time... just see Kobe haters, this series will show the reason why Kobe is the MVP...

[unsunghero18]

lol its just impossible to contain kobe.. if he can't get a field goal.. he'll earn his points from free throws..

[elvisniperx]

edward scissorhands :))

[alvinsrule]

[24LakerGirl]

Come on Lakers!!! We knocked out Spurs back in 2004 when they were the Defending Champs, so we can definitely do it again! This is not beyond us. I got faith in my team, faith in my coach, faith in my MVP! :D

LAKERS '08

[normanpogi23]

[normanpogi23]

kobe is the superhero and bruce bowen is the villain!!! thumbs up

[azngamermaster]

[jiujitsu909]

lakers all the way! go kobe shaq should of stayed in LA

[thefunkz]

screw that, shaq is done now. he'll just be an overpaid liability. Plus, Gasol and Bynum are beast. Gasol is also pretty underpaid for his contributions to the team...

Lakers in 6.
