    Lakers lose 3-of-5.. Utah wins 3-of-5... even Stern can't help the Lakers now
    a resounding 'OUCH!'.

    Yesterday's loss to the Clippers was brutal.

    Not being able to muster a SINGLE win against their hometown rival, (0-4)
    shuttered their aspirations*and the reality of their mediocrity has now set in.


    Without this last shred of hope, they will not be able rise to the occasion
    that will be necessary to overcome teams with winning records down the final stretch.*What would be the point? Their minds know it, their bodies will find out.


    The very opposite is true for Utah..*a mere 10 games ago, they were playing poorly, but they have*won 7-of-last 8**and now sit in the driver's seat, and the victory over Golden State likely will create greater confidence and ability to close games against their remaining competition.


    Three of five should not be too difficult considering the games remaining on*
    their schedule. Though you never know with Minnesota, teams that are missing the playoffs frequently*like to play spoiler, and play 8 seeds harder than usual.*

    Not even David Stern can help the Lakers now.


    (Looks like the last game Playoff game of Kobe's career was Game 5, OKC)


    2012-'13 Western Conference Playoffs


    Series 1 – Utah @ San Antonio*
    Series 2– *Houston @ Oklahoma City*
    Series 3– *Golden State @ Denver*
    Series 4– *Memphis @ Clippers*

    Kobe is not retiring after this season. He wants to tie Jordan with his 6th ring.

        You just can't help yourself, can you? The Lakers will most likely make the playoffs. Deal with it.

        BTW Utah has only 4 remaining games...

          Lakers make playoffs is +110 on 5dimes

          This is an easy winner, possibly the best +110 bet ever. Too bad I can only bet $100 on it. Fukking limits

            And BTW, if Lakers actually somehow lose 3 of 5 (they won't even lose 1 IMO), Dallas could nick it. They can easily win all 5 of their remaining games, and Utah could lose 3 of 4 (vs OKC probable loss, @ MEM probable loss, @ MIN possible loss).

            This would be epic. But even being a Mavs fan, there is no way in hell this will happen.

              i can't believe you took the bait. Give that money to charity, there are children that need it.

              Lakers 90% guaranteed to miss unless SAS and Houston plays reserves only.. even then.

                I didn't bet it. $100 is less than a unit for me, yawn. I'd rather focus on betting the Lakers in individual games. Or parlaying them ml as vyom suggested.

                  Who are they gonna lose to btw?

                  vs Hornets = easy win, self-explanatory
                  @ Blazers = should be a win, blazers are horrible these days
                  vs Golden State = should be a win, warriors are also playing bad right now
                  vs San Antonio = Pop will probably send a team of 20 year olds

                  These are 4 easy wins if the Lakers play at an acceptable level.

                    if JAZZ lose 2-of-4 (43-39)

                    --and--

                    Lakers WIN 3-of-5 (43-39)


                    LAKERS ARE STILL
                    OUT
                    that tie-breaker to the Jazz is the dagger.

                    as it stands.. the Jazz must lose 3-of-4 (42-40)

                    and the Lakers must win 3-of-5 (43-39)

                    Lakers are not winning last 5. they're not. period.

                        lol.. insanity.

                        anybody can beat the Lakers... anybody. Washington beat the Lakers at home
                        Philadelphia beat the Lakers at home.. they needed OT and 36-16 FT advantage to beat Raptors AT HOME..

                        seriously, you are nice guy, but what the hell are you talking about ''easy win, self-explanatory"?
                        they lost TWICE to Phoenix...

                        they can't do it. this last loss took it out of them, they will likely blow 3-of-5 and be out.
                        a Pop team passes the ball, and always does well. That's no gimme. You don't think he would love
                        for the Lakers to miss playoffs.?

                        Warriors will beat the Lakers.. almost NO CHANCE in that game,*

                        it's pretty much over.

                        well not 'pretty much'.. it's over. period.

                            i thought you said that the Lakers were going to destroy the Clippers in their last game.. (before the playoffs)

                            what happened? * i thought that was a 'must-win' game..

                            seems strange they would lose..

                            do you think the Lakers dropped it on purpose?

                              i keep it to "sports". not being a laker-fan does not make one a psychopath.

                              you are the one that starts talking about raping mothers and sisters after painful losses.

                              i do not see how you (of all people) would accuse another of being psychotic.

                                Such a shame you don't talk more about gambling. Your latest picks have actually been pretty good.

                                You'll probably hide a bit after the Lakers make it. Then you'll come out of the woods whenever they start struggling in the playoffs.

                                    Yeah I'm gonna do that too. I had a great stretch from January to March but I got killed this past week. Gonna chill it till the playoffs as well.

                                    Good luck for MLB. I've had a decent start to the year in that at least.

                                            and why all the hostility? i am just curious.. you sound so different.. where's all that wuff-guy arrogance?

                                            personally, i am still 100% confident that the Lakers will be humiliated and miss the playoffs..

                                            but this has been my position since the pre-season,
                                            i knew right off the bat, they were destined to be the BIGGEST BUST*in the history of sports.

                                            but you sound doubtful, you don't sound very wuff-n-tuff..... like you normally try to sound

                                                you know.. it's strange..

                                                one would think that a fan of a team that is:

                                                1) about to go 5-0,
                                                2) and storm into the playoffs..
                                                3) and then upset the top 3 seeds en route to the Finals..*

                                                would be a little more cheery..

                                                are you trying to tell me you no longer think that is going to happen.. ?!

                                                  Hahaha.....Hey I actually think the Lakers can make the dance... but only because Stern wants them there...I think they beat Golden State too...as they have beaten them several times this year I believe....I think it might come down to Pop and Houston.....Will Pop lie down for stern...and tell his players to stand down? Or will he stick it to David (and his 250 grand fine) and destroy the Lakers on TNT just for spite...? time will tell...

                                                    This is an easy winner, possibly the best +110 bet ever. Too bad I can only bet $100 on it. Fukking limits
                                                    If it's so easy, why won't you bet it? They'll let you re-bet.

                                                      so let's get this right.... guy makes daily threads in which he cries about games being fixed for the Lakers and how Stern is in on the whole mess... then when the opposite expected outcome happens, not only does he get to sit there and pretend like he wasn't an idiot all along, but no1 calls him on it??

                                                      well Ratzz, you sir, are an idiot.

                                                      Now that the Lakers WILL NOT make the playoffs, can we hope that your daily rants stop here??

                                                        utah is by far the most boring team to watch, not to mention, lakers=money and stern will put on a jersey and carry them to the playoffs if he has to.

                                                          lol.. don't be silly. of course not.

                                                          i believe you were not paying attention in class, when i was speaking.

                                                          i pointed out, another dozen people agreed, many threads about Lakers rigs,
                                                          not authored by myself.

                                                          that the game following the Memphis was:

                                                          1) game following a HUGE RIG.. Memphis only 7 Free Throws (and lost by 2)
                                                          2) Stern really can't rig two in a row.. or people will freak out (too obvious)
                                                          3) the Clipper game was Nationally televised on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON (definitely too obvious)
                                                          4) so this game pretty much had to be laissez-faire.. and just let them play. (and hope Lakers win)

                                                          The Lakers have been having their games rigged by Stern, but they prefer to think that they are not,
                                                          and delude themselves *into thinking that they are in fact a playoff caliber team. (normal ego driven athletes)

                                                          but playing a playoff team (Clippers), and expecting a win,
                                                          and getting their sad asses kicked CHANGED EVERYTHING.
                                                          Now they have seen The Truth..

                                                          and that TRuth broke them.

                                                          Their spirit has been broken, their hopes dashed. They now understand that it has all been an illusion, and will lose 3 of their remaining 5 games, thus eliminating themselves from playoff contention.

                                                          it's all very logical. I guess you will only understand after it happens.

                                                          I guess that's how it is with some people. Something has to first happen.. before they can see it.

                                                                i believe you were not paying attention in class, when i was speaking.

                                                                i pointed out, another dozen people agreed, many threads about Lakers rigs,
                                                                not authored by myself.

                                                                that the game following the Memphis was:

                                                                1) game following a HUGE RIG.. Memphis only 7 Free Throws (and lost by 2)
                                                                2) Stern really can't rig two in a row.. or people will freak out (too obvious)
                                                                3) the Clipper game was Nationally televised on a SUNDAY AFTERNOON (definitely too obvious)
                                                                4) so this game pretty much had to be laissez-faire.. and just let them play. (and hope Lakers win)
                                                                So basically what u r saying is when the Lakers lose the game is not rigged because it would be too obvious?? But when they win it's rigged?
                                                                So, if the Laker/Clipper game were on a wed rather than sun Stern would have rigged it??

                                                                Furthermore, since u obv don't understand basic basketball fundamentals.....The rules of basketball DO NOT state that each team will receive an equal amount of free throws. They actually state that when a player is fouled in the act of shooting or from the 6th foul on in the Q then that player will receive free throws.

                                                                Some basic info for u. When Kobe Bryant & Dwight Howard r playing on the same team & playing against a 3 & sometimes 4 guard offense there is a STRONG possibility they will draw more free throw attempts throughout a 48 min game.
                                                                Do u understand this basic fundamental concept or r u intentionally trying to show a lack of fundamental understanding of the game??

                                                                    Make up your mind rat shit boy. Is the league fixing games so the Lakers make the playoffs or are the Lakers not gonna make the playoffs. You post both arguments daily. Fukking loser
