What a season for our beloved Lakers. Training camp and most of the off-season was full of kobe trade talk and kobe being upset that the Lakers front office didnt get him any help. But early in the season the general manager Mitch Kubpchak starting making his moves also the emergence of the center Andrew Bynum gaves us lots of hope. He traded Maurice Evans and Brian Cook for Trevor Ariza an athletic and outstanding forward but his season was cut short due to a leg injury. After this trade went down the laker faithful assumed that this was all the Lakers would do to improve the squad...............

But the biggest trade in the NBA took place the lakers traded center Kwame Brown and rookie point guard Javaris Crittenton, two draft picks for all star center Paul Gasol. This ignited the fire for the lakers and the team will only get better when Bymun and Ariza return which should be during the second round of the playoffs. The Lakers had what it took during the season to win tough in-conference games on the road. With the thrashing of the Sacramento Kings the Lakers get an extra day of rest and will play either the Dallas Mavericks or the Denver Nuggets in the opening round of the playoffs this weekend.
Lakers - NBA 2008 Champ

Eddy,I didn't see Horford's after game act....I guess he will get a dose of reality in the next 2 games....but you see this all the time in sports...Washington just did it with Cleveland and now they are down 3-1...just shut up and play!

Phoenix looks to be extending to another game....but there is no way they are coming out of this 3-0 hole.

I am a bit surprised Denver has had no showing whatsoever against your Lakers....next round should be interesting though

BLR Guy----------I agree, talk is cheap unless you have lots of credibility or you are the defending champions..........

The Suns finally decided to come out and play in the fourth game of the series. You can stick a fork in them, there's is no way they are beating the Spurs in San Antonio in game 5.

Coach Karl of the Nuggets has totally lost his team. They don't listen to him and refuse to play defense but he will be back as head coach next year. Utah vs the Lakers is going to be a great series but we should take them in 5 games, Utah cant handle us at Staples center.

Just remember...Utah has only lost 5 games(1 to Boston) at home this year...but you are correct...they had a hard time on the road....they did handle the Celtics in Boston though.

Detroit finally solved Philly in the 2nd half of game 4.Philly is a pretty bad free throw shooting team and those teams do not survive in the playoffs.

Dallas is another team who made a rotten trade and is also on the same elevator as Phoenix heading down.

I expect the C's to take care of business in Atlanta tonight.

BLR Guy------------- Funny thing is that nobody was able to handle the Celtics in Boston for the most part. The Celtics will close out the lowly Hawks in the next two games.

You are right Phillys run is over, they should trade Iverson back he doesnt fit in Denver.

Dallas is also out , did you hear what Howard said in regards to smoking pot?

LOL..yes the Howard comments are quite comical!

Your Lakers sealed the deal while My C's continued to struggle...blowing a 10 point lead in the 4th....for some reason,they had their problems with teams like this all year...Charlotte gave them fits as well and after what happened to the Patriots....anything can happen

Orlando also took care of business...so they are ready and waiting for Detroit.

L A shouldn't have the same cake walk against the Spurs though....make sure Memphis is on your Christmas card list...LOL

In regards to Josh Howard, thats what i call shooting yourself in the foot lol !!!!!!!!

The Lakers played a pretty bad defensive game, the nuggets made over 25 layups unbelievable!!!!!! But at the end of the day they took care of business.....................

Memphis is clearing alot of salary cap space thanks to us :)

Whats up the "mighty" Celtics ? Could the Atlanta Hawks pull off the greatest upset in NBA history? Boston is a tough place to play at but the Hawks are thriving at home.

Eddy...The Hawks are NOT going to beat Boston...just isn't happening..it makes for great drama though.

I don't care what kind of spin memphis puts on that trade...it wasn't very good on their end.The Celtics always used to make these kinds of trades in the past with idiot partners too...

One last thought....although The Hawks somehow did win the last 2 games...there is a reason they only won 36 all year and looked pitiful in Boston....

BLR Guy---------- Well if thats the case the Celtics need to start taking care of business ! The Lakers just swept the Denver Nuggets who are a clearly superior team to that of the Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons who are also in the Eastern Conference are also struggling against another terrible team, the 76ers.

That is true about the Nuggets...but the Hawks are playing hard..the Nuggets didn't seem to.The Sixers have played pretty well since their trade and have beaten some good teams along the way.

It is a long road.....so let's sit back and enjoy the ride to the championship..It is gonna be Lakers-C's;)

Josh Smith is having a hell of a series and they are picking some momentum, but the Celtics should handle them tonight in Boston. The Sixers are playing great basketball except for Andre Iguodala whats going on with him?

Youre right we are still a long way from the NBA Finals.............

Eddy..did you see Avery Johnson just got the chop....he will land somewhere.It is so hard to pull for Dallas with Mark Cuban in charge.

I am getting ready to watch the Celts.....I am hoping for a much different result tonight..LOL

BLR Guy---------- Yeah i heard the news this morning which wasnt all that surprising the head coach is always the fall guy on a underachieving ballclub. Dantoni from the Suns looks to be the next to go. Mark Cuban and Al Davis have alot in common, which isnt a good thing at all!

The Celtics have all of the pressure on them tonight!! Good Luck ...........

Eddy....Well..The Celts did what they needed to do...I didn't realize Atlanta was 12-33 on the road...that is pitiful.

Even if Atlanta survives Friday...they will need a miracle in a game 7 at the Garden.

Phoenix says they want to keep their coach...that usually means..he is toast..LOL

How about Washingtom surviving for another day....

I think we might be seeing that rematch from the 80's....L.A. is going to win it all though

Andy-------- Regardless of the match up in the NBA finals i really hope that the laker's win it all!!!!!! The Celtics have shown that they can not win on the road and if the Pistons steal one in Boston they will be in serious trouble.

Game #2:  Lakers ( 0 ) vs. Boston ( 1)

How do you see tomorrow's game and why?

Andy-------- Sorry about the late response but i had a bad feeling about the game before it began. As long as lakers win tonights game 2 then we will be ok since we have games 3 through 5 in LA......

Find a notary--------- The keys to tonight's game are the following

1- Lakers perimeter defense. They allowed too many open three pointers.

2- Lakers need to simply put the ball into the hole!! There were at least 8 shots during the course of the game that rimmed out.

3- Hustle, Lakers need to dive and scramble for all of the loose balls. Quite frankly they played lazy during game one.  

Enjoy the game :)

Go Lakers!!!!!!!!

It is over for the 2007 - 2008 NBA Season. 

Boston Celtics are World Champs amidst a controversy of fixed games, something I have suspected since the 1999-2000 Conference Finals, the Lakers vs. Trailblazers.

It was an aweful Championship game.  The Lakers showed no heart and played with n defense.
