drk3351ParticipantIn a very entertaining game, he has 27 points on 10-15 shooting into the beginning of the 2nd quarter. He may be the best shooter ever and as long as he stays healthy he should be a star for years to come. imagine if Minnesota got him and Rubio instead of Rubio and Flynn. Wow. Esspecially since they still need an off guard after all these years

llperezI have to assume Steve Kerr is only on that list because he was a well known three point shooter from years past. I mean numerous guys have hit 100+ threes in just their rookie seasons alone,, so no way is Kerr top 4 after 254 games with 147. Reggie might not even be top 4 after 254 games.

llperezSteph is killing it. Right now 30 with 4:20 left in second quarter. They got jack running point and have steph playing like Reggie miller just using screens. Lakers still in it but they have to do something about steph at some point. Let’s see if the lakers put Kobe on him in second half.

IndianaBasketballParticipantThe Lakers are a terrible terrible defensive team. Curry is shooting it very well, but how do you let a guy go 12/21 FG (6/10 3PT) in the first half alone? They might have to put a bigger defender on him, like Earl Clark.
On another note, Pau Gasol looks like he did during the Olympics. Playing strong in the post, rebounding and making amazing passes.
I hope the Lakers play more through their bigs tonight. They CLEARLY have an advantage. Gasol and Dwight are 11/13 FG and 10/12 FT.

IndianaBasketballParticipantKobe is done for tonight. He might make me look stupid in the 4th quarter, but you don’t play this minutes at 34 years old without paying the price. I don’t care how well you take care of your body.

llperezMore then Steve keres 154? Tons of guys. Said I wasn’t sure about Reggie, but based on the fact Kerr was included I’m Curious if Reggie is top 4 since that was not automatically top 4, just 4 of the more well known shooters of years past. That’s in no way to diss curry, just not sure why Kerr is on there.

llperezYeah, tons of guys like I said. Even if they are just looking at retired players with a history of being great shooters, why Kerr? Glen rice, tim hardaway, Chris mullin, Mitch Richmond, mark price , Dale Ellis etc… All made more. Again, curry is awesome and in the lead by far, I was just thinking it would cooler to see how he ranked against the all time leaders.

IndianaBasketballParticipantKobe looked like he was about to break out into tears when he knew he had to leave the game.
I hope it’s not his achilles…
He hurt his knee, foot and then what looks like his achilles all in this game. Still hit two big time threes and then his free-throws. Crazy…

How did the refs win them the game???
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 7:15pm #762476
Ghost01ParticipantWell, for starters, the FT’s were 50-16. Pretty amazing that one of the worst defensive teams in the league doesn’t foul that much less than its opponents.
And to name some blatantly bad ones, calling Curry on that foul fighting through a pick, and compounding that with sending Blake to the FT line instead of Howard, not calling a foul on the Lakers for basically sandwiching Jarrett Jack both come to mind.
You can’t tell me in any honest way that any NBA team ever deserves a 50-16 FT advantage.
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 7:21pm #762478
llperezLakers went to pau and Dwight down low a lot not to mention Kobe was attacking the paint all night. Who was attacking the basket for the warriors? They were shooting jumpers all night. And both those calls you mentioned were called correctly. Curry reached out and grabbed Steve while he was getting screened. You even see blake’s shoulder jerk backwards from the grab and that’s why he fires the shot up as soon as he hears the hustle because he knows he got grabbed. And the jack rebound where he fell, the only person who made contact was metta and he was standing completely still. Jack fell because he was jumping backwards for the loose ball high in the air and when he collided with metta he fell. But metta didn’t move or reach or anything.

Ghost01ParticipantYou are Mr. Laker homer. So duh, you are going to defend everything the Lakers do and even when the most blind eye could see questionable officiating, you are going to argue about how great the big men are. How bout the Warriors having 15 offensive rebounds and only 16 free throws? No correlation there at all? Don’t teams pounding the offensive glass usually shoot FT’s? Or no because Kobe was attacking the basket so hard.
I’m just so sick of Laker fans in denial about this season. Your team is old, your coach is bad, and Kobe just tore his achilles. RIP. Have fun probably not making the playoffs, or getting swept by one of two teams that are vastly superior to yours in every pheasible way.
I am a Bulls fan. Without Rose, we can still win a first round series just based on hard our guys play and how good we are defensively. But I’m realistic, this has been just a terrible season with Derrick not coming back, and in all liklihood we don’t have the fire power to beat Miami even with an 150% Derrick Rose. I will watch the playoffs with intrigue, and admit this just isn’t our year.
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 7:36pm #762487
llperezAnd your opinion isn’t biased as a laker hater? Of course the lakers season isn’t going anywhere now without Kobe, but oh well, hope for the best and move on. And of course the bulls can go further without rose then the lakers can without Kobe, Kobe is the better player. And besides the heat, the east sucks. Have fun losing in the playoffs too. And you were wrong about those two calls you brought up, no bias
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 7:47pm #762493
Ghost01ParticipantI wasn’t wrong. The one called on GS was ticky tack. And the other one was a whole hell of a lot of contact for no call.
I don’t like officiating 25 feet away from the basket in the last 2 minutes of an NBA game, but that’s just me.
Oh, I know we’re going to lose. But Kobe being better than Derrick Rose is just high high high comedy. I really am not even going to waste my time talking about this. But lets just say Rose hadn’t spent the past couple seasons fighting to get into the playoffs.
And the Bulls are better than the Lakers, regardless of the superstars, because they are actually coached, not just watched from the sideline.
You are so incredibly bias, every thing you post is either pro-Laker or pro-UCLA, and I really don’t think after out FT shooting a team 50-16, you can really even begin to speak about good officiating.
I don’t hate the Lakers, or Kobe Bryant. I hate this idea that they have been a major story all year. They haven’t. They are just a blip that will be forgotten about 3 seconds into the playoffs.
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 7:48pm #762497
llperezThe lakers are a major story because they are the lakers, that won’t change any time soon. Even the haters like yourself can’t stop talking about them. That ain’t changing for a long time. And yes you were wrong on those calls. Go watch them again.

IndianaBasketballParticipantThat’s your response to what he posted? How old are you? Your response was probably one of the most immature and childish responses I’ve read on this site. Go to ESPN with that.
He made great points. Who attacked the basket for the Warriors? Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, David Lee, Jarrett Jack… Carl Landry. They all shot jumpers. Sure, they got offensive rebounds, but they were long offensive rebounds. It wasn’t like they were like pounding the glass and going back up with it.
The Lakers on the other hand when through Pau and Dwight, and Kobe attacked the basket all night. Dwight going to the line that many times when he’s getting fouled isn’t rare. Kobe got some calls, but what’s new? They are no different than what Durant gets, LeBron gets or any other superstar gets.
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 7:50pm #762496
Ghost01ParticipantYou aren’t my dad. I can post whatever I want to post. I thought for a Laker fan to immediately defend a 50-16 FT disparity and a few questionable calls for it to be fairly obvious to point out his rooting interest. But again, you can think whatever you want. Go to twitter if you must, pretty much everyone was talking about how questionably officiated that game was. They didn’t all shoot jumpers, if you must, here is the shot chart for tonight’s game, explain to me how the Warriors shot “all jumpers”
http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/shotchart?gameId=400278909

Cavaliers420ParticipantKobe literally did what he said he was going to do. Anything possible to make his team win. He had three different injuries this game and until the third one he played through it all. What an amazing game. Can’t believe the Lakers won, I honestly am sweating from the game being so close!

IndianaBasketballParticipant@FvckSwag666
While you’re at it, let’s blame the refs for David Lee missing two wide open jumpers and a layup. Let’s blame the refs for Kobe making two three-pointers over Harrison Barnes and then making his free-throws while injured. Let’s blame the refs for Klay Thompson running out of bounds. Let’s blame the refs for Stephen Curry not getting a shot during like 7-8 straight possesions. Let’s blame the refs for Carl Landry missing a wide open jumper.
The Warriors shot mainly jumpshots the whole game which is why they didn’t get to the line. 22 of the Lakers free-throw attempts came from Howard. 16 from Kobe.
You act like there were clear terrible calls to like literally rig the game. The calls were no different than what they’ve been all season long in the NBA.

0- Posted on: Sat, 04/13/2013 - 3:30am #762573
the I in winParticipantgoogle “free throw disparity” and you will find plenty of angry people who thought that many games were rigged; a few weeks ago the lakers had a game against the blazers where the refs were far worse than last night. Basically while going on and on about 50-16 doesn’t help your case, video evidence of specific plays would (go to youtube, I’m sure another hater has already made a video of plays they disagreed with).

jhbm24ParticipantWon the Lakers the game.. But with that being said the Dubs had a chance to win but inexperienced Mark Jackson doesn’t let Stephen Curry go 1on1 with STEVE BLAKE to win the game. Bad coaching on the Dubs part, made your best player who was HOT LIKE FIRE! Give up the ball to Carl Landry…. So disappointing in many facets (in the eyes of Warrior Fans)
0- Posted on: Fri, 04/12/2013 - 8:40pm #762519
benny15Participanti agree completely with your opening point, despite the free throw difference, in the end the warriors had a shot to take the lead. this coming from a warriors fan point of view, you just have to accept that there will be nights where the calls will go against you, because there’s a certain major market team theyre trying to help reach the play-offs is a moot point. at the end of the day, you got to play your game and try to win despite all odds. dont get me wrong here, it was very hard to watch that game and those fouls, but in the end, GSW still had a great look.
which leads me to your other point that i dont really agree with. i totally get your point on trying to have steph curry go iso against blake, but i personally was very happy with what they got. would i have prefered someone else taking the jumper, of course. but at that point in the game, you gave the ball to your best player and he made the right play. you cant convince me that steph forcing a contested jumper was a better option than a wide open shot?
if that scenario happened again, i might have ran the same play. maybe lee could have been the one to pick and pop I’ll always take team ball over hero ball any day, and thats what the warriors ran in that last play.

OldSkoolBasketballParticipantthe differences of free throws doesn’t bother me at all and its kind of expected when you have Dwight on the team. Its late game calls like Kobe falling to the ground by himself and Barnes get whistled for a foul. Dwight with a moving screen and Curry gets called for the foul and instead of Dwight shooting, its Blake.

TurnipParticipantThe numbers for anyone curious.
FTs: 50-16 Lakers
Oreb: 15-3 Warriors
Points in the paint: 34-340 - Posted on: Sat, 04/13/2013 - 5:39am #762597
ThepessimestParticipantThe free throw disparity was terrible…but some of the calls were horrific. On the play where Kobe got hurt there was a foul called and there was no contact. Steph Curry was called for a foul when Dwight Howard set an illegal screen on him and this allowed Blake to make free throws so the Lakers could take the lead. I can go on and on. There was a jumper where no one touched Kobe and there was a foul called. There was the play where Artest grabbed a rebound and flung the kid from Baylor (can’t remember his name) and he received his 6th foul on that play.
Look I’m not conspiracy guy but that game was ridiculously called. And by the numbers Turnip posted I don’t want to hear anyone say that the disparity was because the Warriors were shooting jumpers. Both teams had 34 points in the paint which means they were both at the rim attacking.
SMH at the NBA.

TallmanNYCParticipantWell there were a lot of intentional fouls on Dwight in that game. But yes, I was surprised at how few shooting fouls the Warriors got.
