Damn that game was terrible. Lakers played terrible!!! They cant play like that again or they wont be able to win the series. Only can lose one more game if they plan on takin home that trophy.

Kobe barely had any points. Didnt score his first point until I think the 3rd quarter. Shaq only went to the line once and missed both shots. Malone played good but didnt do much damage, but still helped with a few things and played good for his condition. Luke Walton played well but didnt stay in the game much. Hes good at gettin the pace picked up which I like and definetely think Lakers need more of. Sumtimes if they rebound the ball faster and get down to the otha end of the court faster then there will come easier and faster points.

Pistons were on point tonight. I think they have a big advantage because they move faster before gettin to one end of the court faster. Like I said before, if u can do that, points come easier and faster alot of times. They also came into the game with alot of energy which definetely showed thru out the whole game. Plus, the fans were wild as fuck for them. I thought it ws funny at the beginning of the game while that woman was singin the national anthem, the crowd was so loud and her voice was so loud, (in my opiion, defining ugly), that the noise broke the stadiums speakers and the sound went off lol.

Good luck to the Lakers in game 4, they better do a hell of a lot better than they did in any other game this series from now on. We gotta take that title with pride.

When the lakers double team, one of the unguarded pistons will score. But when pistons double team, either lakers turn it over or shoot a airball/brick. Lakers need to rethink their defense strategy. I feel Kobe was dribbling too much when he was double teamed. He should of gave the ball up to Shaq as much as possible for more free thows.

The only way for the lakers to win 1 game is to slow down rip hamilton somehow, someway...he scores, creates opportunities for other teammates, he's carrying that pistons team...i'm a big Gary Payton fan, I love the guy, I've been following him for many years, have 4 different Payton jerseys but I think Phil Jackson needs to start Derek Fisher next game for 3 reasons:

1. Fisher spreads the floor cause he can shoot, gives more room for shaq

2. He's stronger than Payton, it will be tougher for Billups to penetrate...

3. A change in the line up always affects the attitude of the entire team, its something like a new start...

and on top of that Payton will be able to come off the bench and wont be tired , after all he's 35 years old...i still have tapes from his college days with oregon st, he WAS the glove, i love him but he's not producing right now...same goes for malone, they can try starting luke walton, slava medvedenko is a liability on defense, just look at that 2 + 1 point play by richard hamilton, slava didnt do sh|t, just fould him and allowed him to make the basket too, and he's 6'11...

the lakers really need to keep the game close, spread the floor with fisher & rush and try to get some fast break opportunities...

I agree with everything u juss said.

I think the number one reason why the lakers lost was they got out rebounded by about 20. i didnt watch the game because I was at a gang injunction panel in Oxnard discussing the injunction against La Colonia, but I looked at the box score and the rebounds, especially the offensive ones gives Detroit 2nd chances to score. Detroit scoring 85, 91 and 88 points is not characteristic of this team. They are in a zone and I wonder if they already peaked. The Nets won three straight against them in the last series and the Lakers should be capable of winning game 4 and 5. But if the Lakers only win game 4 they should be good to win both game 6 and 7 in Los Angeles.

^^^
Lakers in 6. Malone's injury is a problem, but if Shaq get's the ball then the Pistons don't stand a chance. Somebody (Fish, George, Rush) has to step up the next few games.

[mr. chill]

the pistons have very good defense and it seems like the lakers become too 1 or 2 demensional with shaq and kobe and props to Prince for lockin down Kobe, GO PISTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
