Lakers are no match for the Suns. Suns in 6.

Just a question for LAL fans.

Did Kobe lack his "it" factor tonight? Obviously he had a good game stat wise but he didn't seem to demand the ball in the fourth quarter and let the other chuck up shots. After being wide open once, he should be stepping up and demanding the ball from everyone. He had the hot hand but didn't seem like the Black Mamba wanting the ball.

Footwedge why don't you ever just try to have an intelligent sports discussion? You're like a more annoying version of Sleeper, but everyone loves him because we all know he is just kidding around.

To an extent yes. Then again I only saw the 4th.

He put in 16 in the 3rd. And then all of a sudden the ball went inside and stupid shit happened. He should have brought the ball up every time and made decisions.

But that's what I am saying.

It shouldn't have took a lot of possessions, after one maybe two possessions Kobe should have told them whats up and demanded the ball.

And then he would be labeled selfish.

They should have kept swinging the ball. A zone is strong side dominant, which is why the ball always went to the right side of the court first. When they were quickly swinging the ball back to Kobe on the weak side, he was wide open. They just quit giving him the rock.

He wouldn't be labeled selfish when he is on fire and hitting his shot.

When he is shooting 8/24 or so and still taking shots, then he'll be labeled selfish.

But when you are hitting 6/9 from deep and feeling it, as the star player you demand the ball in late game situations.

It's so funny how there are a few posters who ONLY show up to try and call me out when I make a prediction that doesn't come true--and then say it's impossible to have a discussion with me. No shit Sherlock, when you don't join in the discussion, it's pretty hard. I'm embarrassed for you guys.

So I was wrong. Not my fault, I'm not the one who played like shit.

I personally love it when he says stuff like that. I never run out of material between Footwedge,sleeper and sq_crazies.
Besides He is just mad because the Cavs underachieved again this year.

Maybe if you weren't such an arrogant know-it-all jackass we wouldn't get such a kick out of your false predictions.

And it would appear that YOU try to be the "know-it-all jackass" with your grammar lessons. I just argue my side and yes, I will call someone and idiot for saying stupid things. I'd say my intelligence speaks for itself, considering there is a pretty large group around here that is foaming at the mouth to get back at me for destroying them at some point in the past. You'll even go so far as to correct GRAMMAR, even when you're wrong and then even still after you're called on it. And you conveniently only show up when I'm wrong and just respond with "LOL" or something of the sort after you quote my prediction. Then act as if I was the only one that was wrong or if I had anything to do with the Lakers playing like crap. LOL...you really come off as a troll in this situation.

Everything you say/type is meaningless, you are rarely ever right, you just talk for the sake of talking...acting like a big bad ass (I've banged 10 times hotter than those chicks on the Maxim 100 LOLzzz) and a, like I said, know-it-all jackass (the Cavs won't lose a series, and will rarely ever be challenged).

In other words...jump off a bridge.

LOL is anyone else reading this? Specifically the parts where he says everything I type is meaningless and then wishes physical harm on me?

And this is the guy who says it's impossible to have a discussion with me. Yet he does this in every thread he comes into, which are only the ones that I happen to be wrong in. And BTW, what is the title of this thread again? Oh, right, it's about the Lakers and Suns. Yet everything I say is meaningless and it's impossible to have a discussion with me...like always, you aren't even here to discuss the topic--you're here to try and call me out for being wrong because I've made you look like a fool so many times in the past.

Patiently waiting for him to spin what I said into some different way to slam me...

I'm not gonna give you any crap on being wrong on your prediction. I didn't make one (on-line, at least), so I can't diss you on being wrong when I didn't say anything at all on here.

But to say "not my fault, I'm not the one who played like shit."

Well, no shit!!

It's not your fault that they played like shit, but it is your fault for making the prediction. You're basically manning up for being wrong, but then trying to pass the blame.

There's more than the Lakers "just playing like shit" to the loss. Maybe the Suns had something to do with that? Their zone D has completely taken LA out of their element. Their bench can completely outplay the Lakers bench (and at times, the Lakers starters!). The Suns have this series TIED for a reason. Whether they are going to win the series, doubtful, but they have proven they are legit and deserve to be in the WC Finals.

The point is, I have no impact on the game--but people think it's fun to poke fun at me if a prediction goes wrong. Especially when it's people that don't make a prediction. And especially when I presented a solid, detailed reason as to why I was picking the Lakers. Like I said awhile back, if anyone was right on every prediction then why is the ESPN Streak for the Cash record like 20 something? They want to act like they're better than me because I was wrong and then call me "arrogant" for no apparent reason.

I'm not passing blame, I have zero blame to pass. What blame falls on my shoulders? LOL
