Is there a Lakers fan out there who is willing to admit the Lakers got help?

The lakers obviously got a lot of help in this game, but i am just wondering if any lakers fans have the balls to admit it?

Yes, I am a Lakers fan and it's obvious they got help, but it's been the same story for all home teams during the playoffs. Home teams are 19-1 in the second round, and the refs have been a huge part of that.

They definitely got calls they didn't get in Salt Lake City, so yes they got some favorable calls. Whether or not that is the reason they won is debatable. You cannot deny that turnovers cost the Jazz this game. Deron Williams was pretty good, but twenty some turnovers on the road means you will probably lose. Also, the Jazz led the league in fouls in the regular season, so its their style of play, not a conspiracy for the Laker-Celtic final.

Now, do you not admit that the Jazz had an advantage over the Lakers at home?
The Lakers did get a lot of help...from their bench, their improvement of free throw shooting, improvement on Offensive/Defensive Rebounds, Kobe drawing the double team to allow open teammates. All which were big improvements from game 4.

Yup...Lakers did get the help they needed from one another...hopefully it will continue to game 6, if not then I know it will in game 7 ;)
STFU this is coming from a JAZZ fan? Whose team's home court is the most corrupt and dirty among all the areans in the NBA? If it wasn't for the refs the Lakers would've swept the Jazz already.

Got any more beers to throw at players? Hick?

By the way we people over here in Los Angeles got balls that are bigger than your entire garbage state.
Is there a Jazzs fan out there who is willing to admit the Utah can't beat the Lakers? or they are complaining like lil loser bitches because they lost?
wow yet another excuse. damn get a fuu ckin lifeee!!!!!!!!!

your team lost, except it. for ppl saying that the refs let us win is BS. damn u have to use excuses for everydamn thing
is there a jazz fan that is willing to admit that the refs helped the jazz in game 4
That game was BULLSHIT!

THE REFS SUCK!
durrr..this is a team effort not the kobe show, i'm just surprised YOU had the balls to ask this
Well every team get help at home so stop complaining
I hate both teams but this game was blullshit lol
why would a Laker fan admit that? They are a big of pusssies as the refs that blew that game
Is there a non-lakers fan out there not crying like baby?
yeah i admit it they got helped.......hey who doesnt get help in home!!! it happens(Ex. GM 4 Jazz V. Lakers).....so deal with it B*****H......just like everybody else
are there any jazz fans willing to admit your team flops more then they play..........lakers won move on.
yea the crowd was awesome
WAHH WAHH WAHH!!!!

LEBRON JAMES SUCKS!!!

how about you GROW some balls and move on!
No! they all have Kobe's Jewels in their mouth.
yeah..,

but the officials at salt lake is more worst when they calling fouls...,

What spot do you think the Lakers will have come Playoffs?

I think the Lakers need to get it together. I think the Lakers need to attack the basket like there's no tomorrow and get to the foul line more. Also, strengthen their defense. Once they improve on these 2 main things, I think they'll have a shot at the Championship.

What spot do you think the Lakers will have come Playoffs?nba video

6'th place but i told coach phil to make it at 7'th because it's hard to beat san antonio than phoenix

What spot do you think the Lakers will have come Playoffs?pro basketball ,nba teams

I think the Lakers will be alright and they will probably be the 7th seed in the West
The are in serious danger of falling out of the playoffs. Kobe has been incosistant since his 50-point a game binge. And they have nobody to pick up that kind of scoring slack (no one consistant enough). I hope they take the 8th spot. My buddy is a Lakers fan and I would love for my Mavs to knock them out of the playoffs.
U think they can beat San Antonio, Dallas, Phoenix? I don't think so. Yes Kobe will try to score 80 points in every playoff game but he needs to learn that its not him vs. 5 its kobe and his team mates vs 5. they need to run plays not just give Kobe the ball. and by the way they will get the 6th playoff spot
haha...they have absolutely no chance of winning the championship....even if they strengthened those aspects, they still wouldnt be near 5 of the top nba teams....the day kobe scores a hundred, in 28 straight games, is the day they win the championship with the team they have now
6th
no they don't have a shot at the championship until the mavericks, jazz, suns, rockets, pistons, Cavs, bulls, nuggets, and goldon state leave the NBA!
They'll finish 7th seed. The Nuggets are playing better so they'll secure 6th. And I don't think Golden State will move past 8th seed because they're too inconsistent. Also I agree with you that attacking the basket and their defense are two things they need to work on. But in order to win a championship this team needs two other things. One is a point guard because Famar is too young and Smush Parker is not that great at all. Two they need Kobe to be a more consistent leader. That doesn't just mean taking over when needed (and yes I know he does do that). But it also means making his teammates better. The Lakers have got to be more of a balanced team on both ends of the floor. Until that happens they'll never win. As for this year they're going to lose in the first round.
The lakers will go into the playoffs in the 7th spot and lose to the suns in the first round in 5 games. They could have been in the sixth spot but they choked and the nuggets took the spot and now have a 1.5 game lead on them. Also, they nuggets have beat the lakers 3 out of 4 times. They won't make it past the first round or even come close. Period.

If Phil Jackson guides the Lakers to the championship this year?

If Phil Jackson guides his Lakers to the Championship this year, will he be considered the greatest coach of all-time, even above the great Red Auerbach?

Is he the greatest already, or will Red still be the man?

What do you guys think?

If Phil Jackson guides the Lakers to the championship this year?nba fights

Everyone wants to say no because he was handed great players and teams. But if you stop and think about it, these great players and teams didn't start winning until he came along. This season should erase any doubt when it comes to his level of competency. Phil Jackson is without a doubt, the greatest coach the game has ever seen. And he's not even finished yet.

If Phil Jackson guides the Lakers to the championship this year?fan gear ,nba teams

any coach who has kobe and shaq, or MJ and Pippen at the same time playin for them is gunna be the best hands down.. and now... the lakers are gunna win 2 champs in a row... 2008 and the 2009 championship.. cuz pau gasol and kobe and odom and fisher and vujacic and radmonovic and ariza and turiaf are all beasts.
I think it would be fair to say. Jordan could not win without him. Shaq and Kobe could not win without him.

All have won with him. He is worthy of comparison, especially in this league with so many athletes. Red admitted that he hoarded all the talent on his team and paid more to keep them.

In the current NBA, with salary caps, you can't do that any more.

Cheers!
he will never surpass red in the total championships, but i believe that he is a better overall coach, making bench players better as well as coaching some of the elite to ever play this game and makiing them better; names like mj, kobe, shaq, pippen, etc. thats a pretty good list.
phil is the greatest coach of all-time because he coach great players like jordan, pippen, o'neal and bryant,he is consider the master of triangle offense, he won championships and improve bench players
Phil Jackson is the greatest coach of his time. No one else in modern times has done what he has. It's really hard to compare coaches from different generations. I think that both Red and Phil are the greatest coaches of their time.
Phil's already the greatest because he did it with two different teams. This championship will just be the icing on the cake and will end the discussion.
THAT WOULD BE HIS 10 CHAMPIONSHIP PLUS HE WILL WIN ONE NEXT YEAR WITH NO DOUBT THATS 11 AND HE WILL TIE RED AND HE WILL WIN MORE THAN 11 SO MY ANSWER IS YES
he will have the most championships, he already has the most wins..so he will be the greatest
Phil is already the man!

Stick that in your cigar and smoke it!
he will pass red, so that means phil is g.o.a.t

How badly will the Lakers abuse the Celtics tonight?

The Lakers have yet to play like the team that dominated the West. Once they go back to sharing the ball and moving their feet the triangle offense will be unstoppable once again.

Severely, if the refs appeal the fans.

How badly will the Lakers abuse the Celtics tonight?nba warriors ,nba teams

im a laker fan but they wont abuse them to much because the celtics are much better defensively than any team in the west but they will come out with a win i hope, kobe deserves a title this year and he doesnt need 3 superstars to do it like the celtics do which is sad!
Is there any evidence that Gasol and Odom will decide that they want to play basektball? I haven't seen that happen yet in this series.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Lakers abuse the Celtics, but if they did, it would be a first.

The Celtics have been, by far, the better team in this series.
I just hope they come away with a win.
The Lakers will get all the home court fouls, just like the Celtics did in games 1 and 2. Soo the result will be a Lakers win. Abuse? I have yet to see anything close to that.
Depends on if the directive has come down to the refs to make sure the series goes 7, ala Rox vs Mavs 05.
I have inside info that Magic, Worthy, and Kareem will be pulled out of retirement to play. I'm guessing the score will be:

Lakers 118

Celtics 75
i like how the lakers fan where hiding after they lost now that they won a game they think there gods......Lakers where only 6 games from the 8th seed thats not domination, good Defense makes good offense, and last time i checked the Lakers are only better then the nuggets at defense.
paul pierce sold his game to his hometown. it will be 2-2!

Will the Lakers surpass the Celtics in NBA championships?

With the addition of Gasol, the Lakers now have one of the best line-ups in the NBA, Bryant, Odom, Bynum, Fisher, and Gasol. The Lakers might not win a championship this year, but I do think that they will pick up a championship next year and maybe a few more the other following years. As of right now, the Celtics have 16 NBA titles and the Lakers have 14. So, is it possible that the Lakers might surpass the Celtics in titles in the next few years?

Will the Lakers surpass the Celtics in NBA championships?nba salaries

NO LAKERS SUCK COME ON GUYS

Will the Lakers surpass the Celtics in NBA championships?nba playoff ,nba teams

YUP!! They will win in 6 and take back their championship to LA!! I think the Celtics might get one, but the Lakers are creating a better dynasty. Kobe will be the best in the NBA for about 8 more years and Bynum will soon be the "Next Shaq" (not to say that D. Howard won't), and Gasol will be a Laker for life and be a Worthy/ Pippen type!!! So, if the West doesn't get stronger (if LeBron James doesn't come to the Warriors) the Lakers should be able to get 3-4 rings in the next 8-9 years!!!
I don't think so the Celtics will win this Year in the NBA Finals so that will be 17 Titles still more then the Lakers.
Right now, it's difficult to project if the Lakers will surpass the Celtics.

The Lakers have only played 1 game vs. the "New and Improved" Celtics. And.. they lost... badly.

But now, with the addition of Gasol, and the may-be return of the improving Bynum, they might have a good match-up, if the Lakers can play some Defense.

Celtics are looking for their first championship battle in a couple of years. Lakers are looking to get out of this slump they've been having.

All in all, I can't wait until the 2nd game of Celtics v. Lakers. It will probably (I hope) be a good match.
u dont even no if there going to be champions or even get through that far but yes i think they can
I think yea within in the next 5 years.
Fisher is old Odom is overrated. Celtics are playing great even without Garnett. Celtic will represent the east and the West belongs to the Spurs . Duncan ,Ginobli, Parker,Barry, Bowen, Finley,Oberto, Stoudimire, Don't Forget Bowen always guard kobe pretty tough. Defense wins championships. sorry Fakers give Kobe what he wants a trade to Chicago for Ben Wallace LOL!!!!!
the lakers by bfar, the celtics are so over rated as of right now
No, i don't think the celtics or lakers will win the nba title. and people, the celtics are not over rated, they have the best record in the nba, only lost nine games, and they are undefeated against the west, come on, over rated. give me a break.

So the Lakers win one game and there automatically champs?

Why is it always like this after Lakers games?

If they win, they are the best team in the NBA.

If they lose, they suck, and are the disgrace of LA.

WTF is up with that?

So the Lakers win one game and there automatically champs?nba scores

You have a vivid imagination. Stop making generalizations and false accusations about Laker fans and take a chill pill.

So the Lakers win one game and there automatically champs?nba 07 ,nba teams

Looks that way, doesn't it? Lakers fans have no loyalty to the team when it loses, but when it wins "They have been die-hard lakers fans for years"...At least we mavs fans can take a loss, even if we don't take it well.

Also, judging by the answers above me, all the Lakers fans themselves are blind to it. Just like they have been blind for years about kobe's 20 misses a game...hmm..Interesting.
WE ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE NBA....AND THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY SUCK WHEN THEY LOOSE ARE HATERS %26amp; THE BANWAGON JUMPERS NOT TRUE FANS.....

WETHER GOOD OR BAD PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE TALKIN ABOUT THE LAKERS SO GET USED TO IT...
Whats your point lil boy!!Why worry about everything !!Back away from your pc drag your ugly a$$ into the shower then maybe you can get that hug you need so much!!lol
If you watched the game you would understand.. they had amaizing ball movement and.. all in all it was just great team play.. even though Kobe shot a pretty low percent (even though he still had 30+).
They've won 58 games this season in the better conference.
NOPE THEY WIN 1 GAME AND NEED 2 WIN 15 MORE WHICH WILL NOT HAPPEN
They played well all Season. Got lucky breaks but

still with Gasol they are a contender..No Kwame.
Laker fans get hype up over nothing.
Hahahah ! thats great Q ..
good question, I have no idea why it happens..
because you and everyone else is p u s s i e s
