Pau's playing like a bitch. Dude looks lost out there. And where's the Laker bench?

And game 4. I'm very suprised they didn't show up to play last night when it mattered most.

Looking like Uptown was right but I'm still holding out hope!!!!

If Miami gets a split in Boston, it's over. Youth will win out in this series.

...and the Lakers should be kicking themselves, giving that game away.

Well, Shaq's back. And frankly I think that was the only way we were going to have a chance in this series. Although the C's are most definitely on the ropes, I really think if Shaq stays healthy and puts in a solid 15 to 20 a game, we can come back.

I hope hope hope the Mavs don't choke the series away against LA.

Always good to see new blood get a ring.

He hasn't always been a bitch. It's like Kobe said, he's not naturally aggressive unlike Kobe. He needs winding up a bit.

It was a weird game though. Lakers were just flat, and so were the crowd much of the time, until they starting booing.

Joe Johnson may be horribly overpaid, but I don't mind if he plays like this. Totally overshadowing D Rose. Hoping the Hawks can maintain this lead and close it out.

Jack Johnson to Jenna Jemison to Joe Jackson to Joe Johnson edit.

You idiot.

Makes no sense since that was towards the end of game 1 and Hawks lost game 2. Sheesh!

Is there no world kayaking thread?

Man, Derrick Rose was on fire tonight. Now the Bulls are looking a lot like the best team in the NBA during the regular season.

But what the hell happened to the Lakers? The Mavericks are kicking their asses and are about to send them home for the season. The Mavs are up 3-0 and no one in NBA history has ever come back from an 0-3 deficit to win a basketball series.

Stick a fork in the Lakers.

I wonder if Jeff Van Gundy and them know they're never really off-air where the international satellite feeds are concerned. There are no ad breaks here in Thailand during the game so we hear them chatting with each other and working out their stat captions and what they're going to say next. It's quite funny sometimes, especially when they're slagging a player off.

Did someone post "Kick Me" signs on the backs of the Lakers.

Kobe and Paul truly deserve a better team, for real. They can't do it all by themselves, they're basically alone out there...

END OF AN ERA, people...

Who is Paul, Chris Paul?

People are talking about how unsportsmanlike that Bynum hit on Barerra was but truth be told, if it were a Mavs player doing the same to Kobe, those same outraged people would be saying Kobe deserved it.

THis is the same team that won back to back titles ...

And Dwight Howard? What's he doing right now after the Magic's limp showing in the playoffs?

Hogwash!

Wash the hog then, because it's true.

Wow, wasn't honestly expecting that.

J Smoove was doing it all.

Yep, Josh Smith had a monster night. Plus the Bulls defense broke down late in the fourth quarter and Derrick Rose kept trying to make too many shots by himself down the strtech. I think they got screwed with the bad call for an inadvertent whistle when they should have called a foul on the guy covering D-Rose, but that's not why the Bulls lost the game.

Rose had big numbers but not a particularly good game, all in all. I'm with Chuck on this one.

Rose on 5 is NOT going 2 beat anyone.

The Bulls don't have a 2 guard and no one other than Rose can make a play.

Carlos Boozer actually had a fairly decent game tonight, but Luol Deng and Kyle Korver each had a crappy night. Keith Bogins didn't score much at all, and Ronnie Brewer just kept fouling people. This was a night where it would have been good to have a player like Tracy McGrady coming off the bench.

McGrady practically begged the Bulls 2 sign him.

Like the saying goes, in the playoffs your strengths and weaknesses are magnified. Rose isn't going to last if he has to keep doing shit by himself.

After watching the Lakers, I'm of the opinion they could use Chris Paul more than Dwight Howard. They have to get that PG position straightened out.

I really dislike Bulls mgmt.

I hope Rose and Dwight Howard both sign with the Lakers.
