Big shake up in LA?


Doubtful. They made it to the championships. They have won championships before playing the same game. I wouldn't be surprised if they are calling their loss a fluke. LA needs to lose another year before they will see they need to make changes.



Yea, LAL is going to be an entirely different team next year

And BtN, at least there's one good thing that is coming out of this: Kobe is now going to leave; no doubt at all now :)



Well that, and the Pistons won.

Wow, a cool NBA discussion... ON BUNGIE.NET!?

Normally "defensive" teams are kind of boring to watch, but I enjoyed seeing Detroit basically come out of nowhere (never hear squat about them out here on the west coast) and play some text book beautiful team basketball. Just like when the Ravens won the Superbowl through sheer defense, this win is probably going to make a lot of coaches go back to the basics and try and drill defense into their players heads more than ever. This was the epitomy of high-flying offensive individuals vs. a cohesive focused team that sticks to the fundamentals.

I am a Kobe fan, though not as much as I used to be. The more openly arrogant and -blam!-y he gets, the less I like him. I liked him as the quiet "kid" whose game speaks for itself - not a glitz and glam ego hound with a pending -blam!- trial. No denying the kid has skillz though. He'll end up on one of those teams with a bunch of middle-of-the-road players that rely on one superstar to carry them through... a forumula that never seems to work.

Since we've got a few fans in here... predictions for next season anyone? Big shake up in LA?


Hey Sketch I think we have a few things in common. First off I love defense, especially in football(the Miami Dolphins are my team, Jason Taylor all the way!). The two wallaces dominated down low, and Rip Hamilton(awesome player, must be because hes from UConn =P) played awesome too. I feel bad for Karl malone, and I think Medvadanko's(spelling?) defense was a big reason why LA lost game 5.

I also am a Kobe fan, hell he used to be my favorite player until recently. Just watching him play the last few games made me sick. He thinks he can drive through any one, and that he can make any thing. While some times thats a good way to think and it gets your confidence up, thats not good for Kobe. I think he will walk from the Lakers, only because I don't think he has or will realize he needs Shaq to win games.

As for predictions, I'll give some guesses for what next years play offs will look like. Ok, the Cavaliers will make the playoffs, and the Magic will make the playoffs. The Spurs will go to the finals for the west, and the Pistons will go again for the east(as long as they don't make any stupid trades), and the Pistons will win a consectutive title. Not much and while this might be obvious, until the draft comes and then i can see all the teams on paper its really hard to make any predictions.

Gotta agree with "Frag U", go spurs ;)

Very glad to see LA humbled after beating us. I was disturbed to see LA pumping themselves with $$$ and "stars" in the hopes of winning a championship; that they lost makes me establish just a little more faith that maybe, just maybe there is a God afterall concerned with upholding moral and poetic justice. [/religion]

Or not.

O:-)

(maybe W'rkncacnter just has a sense of humor . . . )

The Yankees are still winning aren't they? I don't want to get into a big Red Sox yankee debate, but I think the Yankees are ruining baseball by buying new stars when ever some thing dosen't work out. Its bad for baseball, and I hope one day George goes bankrupt, and the yankees will have the same payroll as that of the Marlins.
