I was the one that said the nuggets are mediocre and all of us here agree that the lakers are playing like sh*t right now. If the lakers keep on playing like that, they I wouldn't doubt that they would even lose to the bobcats. But seriously, if the nuggets do manage to advance good luck not getting swept by OKC in the semi's...

Here is a quote from NBA.com by Brown & Bryant commenting about Gasol and Bynum~

We’re going to need more out our two bigs,” Brown said as the Lakers faced the reality of going from a 2-0 series lead to a Game 7 in Los Angeles on Saturday night. “They’re our second- and third-best players. We’re going to need a lot more out of those guys in order to win the series. But not just scoring wise. Defensively. Defensively to follow the game-plan discipline and do it with some effort and some energy and really just lay it out on the line.”

Bryant followed soon after.

“Of course I agree with that,” he said of Brown’s critique. “I talked with Pau a little bit after the game and I’ll speak with Andrew as well. It’s one of those things where psychologically you have to put yourself in a predicament, in a position, where you have no other option but to perform. You have to emotionally put your back to the wall and kind of trick yourself, so to speak, to feel that there’s no other option but to perform and to battle, when you have that, when you have that mindset, your performance shines through, your talent shines through. It doesn’t matter what the defense does. It doesn’t matter because you’re emotionally at a level that is above that. That is the mindset that they have to put themselves in.”

It's becoming apparent that Brown is not the coach for LA.

Clippers disgust me They were so unprofessionally, I mean, how many times have they allowed a full court pass and lay up after a score or after and free throw? That's just ridiculous and totally not NBA-ish. Especially in crunch time, you score a 3, 2 points down, 3 seconds, and you do it again? Ridiculous.

If I'm kobe I'm telling the lakers front office to clean house during the offseason, trade everyone, if you are the rest of the laker team how are you gonna let Kobe do all the work and out perform you when he's sick.

On a side note, go Heat!!!! I'm surprise Lebron got the MVP though

Game 7 Denver will win!!
