Not everyone needs to stroke their raging 'I hate/love Kobe' boner after every game. Sometimes nothing needs to be said because honestly nothing has changed about the way the Lakers are winning or losing their games. The Thuggets outplayed the Lakers. Welcome back to Staples Center, I hope you enjoyed your stay in the Western Conference Finals.
Where's the Ridill Poster Kuno card?
If you want the real reason people stopped posting at this point in the playoffs, look no further than how much you shit up the threads, hype or no hype, killing off any reasonable attempt at talking about the games. Grats on proving Senoska right about sports threads.
Lakers are still going to win. U mad bcuz ur team is out?
Nice fill in the blanks post.
1. Blame person owning you for shitting up the thread. CHECK
2. Name drop a BG poster in hopes it adds validity to your weak post. CHECK
3. Repeat the opposite of what I said, and add in a "LOL U Mad" CHECK
Congrats on proving Lakers Fans are the worst fans in all of sports.
Quiet because nothing to be said really. Denver outplayed the Lakers that game. That's it and that's all.
Could go on about me wanting to punch Dahntay Jones in the face, but whatever. Thuggets are dirty.
Dahntay Jones got issued a flagrant for the trip today. I am OK with it. Automatic suspension if he gets one more.

The Bynum foul was a total flagrant. He came down with both hands. Sure he was swiping at the ball but that was only because he didn't want Anderson to get an "and-1." You don't go swinging down with both hands thinking you're coordinated enough to hit the ball and only the ball with both hands.Because all flagrant fouls are automatically reviewed by league officials, Andrew Bynum's fourth-quarter Flagrant 1 against Denver's Chris Andersen was also getting a second look before Wednesday's Game 5. A follow-up review of Anthony Johnson's Game 3 elbow to Mo Williams' eye in the Orlando-Cleveland series led to the hit being downgraded from a flagrant foul to a personal foul.
I'm surprised they downgraded Anthony Johnson's flagrant. He came up high with the elbow when he didn't have to.
Overall, I'm old school. When it's the playoffs the refs should allow more contact. I liked the days when Oakley would put you on your ass if you tried to put up some highlight dunk. But since the league decided to go all creampuff, I think they should be consistent and call all of these as flagrants.
ya i would've commented but i wasn't able to watch the game
Uh. No. People stopped posting because the Lakers didn't win. There was posting when they beat the Nuggets at home, then it magically stopped? I guarantee it'll start again when the Lakers win tomorrow night in LA. Everyone knows what Dimmauk's schtick is.
Also, what he's done hasn't proven Senoska right about sports threads. It's been this way for such a long time, even before you started posting in these threads. So yeah. Come up with something newer and more original please. :/
I can't stand anyone who bitch about the officiating and think it's just bad against their team. It's been terrible across the board in these playoffs. They won't let anyone play the damn game. With that said, Cavs by 15+ tonight. Lebron closes in on a triple double, with mo williams finally having a good game.
I am a Lakers fan and it was a good game. The Lakers got outplayed and Kobe said it best that they got their asses kicked plain and simple. A Lakers loss makes the WCF more interesting instead of watching a team just blow through the playoffs like it's nothing.
Seriously??
"Yo dawg I just made a 3 pointer with no one guarding me, so I am going to strut like a T-Rex cause I'm just that damn good."
That's the kind of unsportsmanlike conduct I cannot stand, even when Kobe does it, but I don't think he's done anything that retarded in recent games minus the bubba look.
This 100x.
I think this years playoffs have possibly had the worst officiating across the board that I've ever seen.
I like the fact that the officials add an extra element of human error to the games. It's always been like that, and it's just a part of most sports. However, blown calls shouldn't be responsible for wins/loses this frequently, especially in a playoff scenario.
Cavs going to lose again tonight. Taking all bets.
Well first off, I wasn't actually telling you to come up with something better. Sure the post was directed towards you, but I mean for others you claim have a problem with Dimmauk. You know, it's not hard to hit 'ignore' on someone on these boards, right? Honestly, it's just like Mizango in NFL threads. They aren't to be taken seriously.
Either way, I just think it's interesting that no one posts when the Lakers lose, but when they win... they pop up. Not saying you guys are fairweather fans, because that's obviously crap and no one likes fairweather fans. I'm just saying it's not hard to come by and say "Oh, well the Lakers were outplayed tonight" instead of "Well if the officials didn't fuck us up the ass, we would've won!" or something similar. That's all I mean. It's not up to you to come up with new shit, Correction.
And yeah, I agree. People who bitch about officiating piss me off to no end. The officiating early in games hasn't been terribad, but it's because they change the way they officiate things late in games that causes problems. If they called techs/flagrants the same way late in games as they do early.. I don't think it'd be as much of an issue, but alas.
I'm going with the Magic by 7.
I've been saying "the lakers got outplayed" at almost every loss during these playoffs, and not because I'm terrified by Dimmauk or whatever legion of Kobe hate clouds the thread on any given day. Outside of this thread, Dimmauk is amazing and I'd probably go gay for him, but when it comes to the NBA he's an out of control animal and the blood goes rushing to my eyeballs and brain to fuel my 'no, fuck YOU, shithead' machine. You overestimate his ability to get under my skin for real, though.
Magic by 3. I'm liking every hair-thin lead in the playoffs.
