Do the Lakers start throwing games to get Peace back?

[rm18]

I think it is the right play they should let Denver win a couple at least one for sure.

[rm18]

free money is free money

[Reload]

Bizarre structure to a suspension. If Jackson was still coaching, I think they'd consider some tanking.

[GoBlue77]

you're an idiot. you seriously are. throwing games in the playoffs...

[krk1030]

Playing against steve blake is like playing against a chair.

[rm18]

Throwing a game would decrease their chance of winning this series less than it would increase their chance to win the next one

[the_situation]

margin of error is very slim in playoffs, no team would risk doing that

[BrUno0]

ty lawson dude, u think hes gonna lose, nobody talks about this denver team at all especially ty, same with memphis and sixers too, hawks to an extent although more than the former since hawks playing boston, this motivates those teams i mentioned, trust me, gallinari g4, book it

[BrUno0]

how many times on espn have you heard of rudy gay compared to kobe? gay is better, so is evan turner.

yet i'll be honest, with rose i thought bulls could not lose, it didn't matter and i'm a sixer fan.................w/o rose bulls can't win, rose is a thug, sometimes u just gotta know who the greatest is, and it's rose, think about it really deep, bulls went from winning in 4 to losing in 5, can you feel me?

that's why if you look at the 5dimes series prices of mavs and knicks, who are both down 3-0 and arguably the 2 best teams, there's such a huge discrepancy in the line...cause if thunder lose durant to injury, big reason why

[Sport_Fish]

LAL might've tanked games if they were a more dominant team and were confident in their team's ability - but as it stands, the team and coach knows they can't afford any mistakes with this roster. So no, I don't think they're tanking on purpose.

Tonights game was simply a result of Denver playing strong on home court and their bench coming through big, while Lakers' did minimal.

Ron ron gunna ron ron

[blankoblanco]

lol if you really believe the lakers might do this. this isn't a video game. it is real NBA playoff basketball. any team can win on any night. you do not throw a game. jesus christ, i hope you are trolling

If i read that correctly you said Rudy Gay is better then Kobe? Theres a reason nobody compares them Kobe is on a whole nother level. And i dont have to think deep to know Rose is no where near the greatest.

I really want MWP to play only one game this year and lose it !! HAHAHAHA !!

[freeVICK]

yes, who else is gonna guard KD

[BigDofBA]

It doesn't matter if Ron Thug Life plays against OKC or not. They still won't have an answer for our third option Harden.

[Winning oasis]

As long as the lakers get beat and are out of it soon. With any luck at all Denver wins the next 2 so I dont have to watch these fcks. BS effort tonight from them. I wish the lakers fans would star booing more. They suck tonight.

Kobe and/or Barnes might be able to slow him down. But Westbrook will be able to run circles around sessions and blake

[freeVICK]

Forgot to add fisher will be a huge asset for the thunder. His knowledge on the lakers plays/schemes and all that will be HUGE. Not to mention his veteran leadership and ability to hit big shots. Gonna be a war with plenty of techs... can't wait

Stupid logic. Teams will likely throw one of the road games if they were 3-0 but the Lakers do not want to play in Denver again because game 7 is anyone's game.

Lakers just threw game 6 in the first 2 mins what are you talking about?

They get Artest back for Gm1 w/ okc game even if they win this right?

[Dr. J Trotter]

They get Artest back for Gm1 w/ okc game even if they win this right?

Yes

Artest wont miss ONE GAME in the OKC Series

So then you will be betting the Nuggets in staples for game 7 correct?

[t-wizzle]

You don't throw games in the playoffs.

So you seen max effort every game from the Lakers during this series?

[Hankwins]

They gave up so quick on top playing a miserable game. Lakers snapped me back in to reality. A loss is a loss but it's funny I think it wouldn't hurt my ego as much to wwatch lose by a few points than to witness a team get blownout and look like they playing an exibition game.

[durito]

so i take it kobe didnt get the memo yesterday? or in game 5 when he was draining all those 3's at the end in a desperate attempt to come back.
