2012 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

The most clutch player in the league wills his team to OT, now lets see if the Lakers can finish the deal. Been a really sloppy night for Showtime, but hopefully Mamba's heroics will fire them up....

Lakers win in OT! Just a half game out of the playoffs now!

That goes down as Kobe's top 5 games ever and he's played a million. Can't believe I saw that.

There is not one other player in the NBA that is capable of doing the things that Kobe can do. He is truly one of a kind.

Also shout out to Dwight! Another big game from him. It really shows when he isn't in the game, because our defense takes a massive step back. We really need Pau to come back fairly soon and play like he was before he got sidelined.

Such an exciting night!

I've heard many Lakers say it before, but never Dwight Howard until now: "In the fourth quarter, it's Kobe time."

@ESPNChrisPalmer

This is actually going to happen. Kobe is going to will this team to the playoffs.

but but but, Kobe's too old!

actually watch the OT of this game...Kobe went through all 5 players for the big dunk! impressive for an old fart!

[C47]

Officially in the 8th spot suckas!!

Big time performance by D12 and Nashty today!

Oh and the Mamba had a "quiet" 19 pt, 9 reb, and 7 assist game....

I didn't watch the game, but I noticed Ron Artest was 0-6 for 3's. I then noticed he had a 35% from 3-point range for the season and I'm wondering wtf is going on. I swear every game I've watched this season he's like 0-5, 0-4, 0-6, 1-10, 2-9 or some poo. He must light those things up the games I don't watch (granted I haven't watched all that many, might just have seen all his bad games...).

Nah he's been in a really bad slump lately. He's really pissing Lakers fans off with his green light he appears to have from MDA.

People always used to talk about Kobe ending possessions and not passing the ball... but I swear, Metta World Violence jacks that poo up as soon as he gets his hands on the ball most the time it seems.

I like me some Artest though, crazy ass dude. And despite his questionable shot tendecy I'll always remember that 3 he hit in Paul Pierce's face in the Finals.

I remember watching that. Saw him start measuring Pierce up and I was screaming no Artest WTF are you doing you idiot!! Then it went in and I was running around the house screaming DAGGA!!!

Hahaha hell yeah, I was like daaaamn he's going for it, if he misses this poo then Boston has more than enough time to send it into OT, or pull out a W. Buuuut of course it went in and Artest was the man.

Oh yeah, this Heat/Pacers game is shaping up pretty good if anyone happens to be interested. poo almost has a playoff-like game atmosphere to it.
