I'm not a big basketball fan, except the Laker 80s, these little boys would pee in their pants if they had to face the line up of the Lakers in the 80s....that being said. I only look at it as more days of work for me (I work at the Staples Center).

I don't think the Lakers will come back, I hope they do only for Karl Malone to get his ring (not that big of a fan of his either).

I watched game 2 and they (Lakers) fell apart and let the Pistons get too many second and third shots. Thank God for Luke Walton THAT boy showed some skill and made some key plays. Hurt-Malone should have got his butt off the court a long time ago. As soon as Kobe made that last second shot, I knew it was theirs.

I too think it will go 7 games....but I really don't think the Lakers as a whole are "feeling" this series, the others, THEY WANTED IT. I'm not feeling the energy here at all.

I would love for the Lakers to win, but I really don't think its going to happen.

'Nother question.....why is everybody hatin' on the Lakers?

i do feel that some lakers players are putting in more effort than others. the cant be doing that against the pistons. the lakers will get eaten alive. whether the win the series or not, i am still a lakers fan. i can take all you haters. my bf HATES the lakers. so i have some experience with the haters. although i do not understand why a lot of people cant stand them.

I think a lot of people dislike the Lakers is because how they act in general, more so because of individual players. I listened to a lot of the interviews and read a lot and many of the Lakers players didn't give credit to the Pistons playing good. I also heard that the way they are. They never seem to give credit to where its deserved, especially if they lose.

I also believe its a very over-rated team. There are many over-rated teams in all pro-sports.

I do, truly, believe that the Pistons will win, if only for the fact that they are a great TEAM! The Lakers have a fantastic starting lineup, but are they a good TEAM? Do they have the withall to not "pout" when the chips are down? Or will they rely on dumb last minute decisions and continue to play as if they are not going against a team that actually IS trying to win this? (Did anyone see the little boy who had the sign saying "I see Kobe and Shaq, but where are the Lakers?"...That cracked me up...)

I'd also like to add: Did anyone notice how the comments changed after Game 3 or even after Game 2? At first, it was like, "Well, it'll be fun to watch the Lakers sweep",

then it was "Hmmm, maybe the Pistons have a chance" or something along the lines of what the Lakers did WRONG versus what the Pistons were doing right! After Game 2, when it seemed that the Pistons weren't going to let it go without a fight (except for the OT---What happened?

), THEN folks started to say it was for damn sure the Pistons were going to win Game 3 and we all know the rest....

To be honest, I fault the Lakers! Did they think that the Pistons won the Eastern Conference by fluke? Or that they were chumps? Hahahahaha on them. If they keep thinking like that, they might end up looking like they did last year!

I think the wrong score the other day was what they "wanted" to see but didn't happen

Sorry to add more negativity towards the Lakers, but I heard on the news that one of Shaq's comments were that they needed to get the ball to him more often, and Kobe said something about it's not about getting the ball to Shaq, it's about winning the game.

This sounds like a game of who's balls are bigger?

It also sounds pathetic that two teammates are budding heads. And come on we've all seen it.... Shaq can't shoot! He's worse than a white man tryin to jump.

Kobe and Shaq have been at each others' throats since they've been teammates. At the beginning of the season Shaq made a comment about Kobe taking it easy after knee surgery, and Kobe made a comment about Shaq not saying anything in the shape he was in.

They just don't get along...period.

oh my, the lakers are putting up a fight tonight

But, you still see the lack of team work with the Lakers at times, even when they are doing well. During the first quarter, one of the Lakers (missed which one) made a shot which was clearly going into the basket and Shaq grabbed it before it went in and slammed it. That's the kind of thing that looks bad. Super star egos. These last couple minutes of the second quarter are pretty good!

GO PISTONS!

I saw that one, but my favorite was directed towards Jack Nicholson. It said something "Jack...you can't HANDLE the truth!!!"

I have to post a peeve here.. sorry for the hijack BUT...

Why didn't they play this game last night, when we didn't have to get up early the next morning? Detroit fans are walking around like zombies at work every other day because these games are so late! It is my bed time NOW and there are still 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.. and if there's an over time.. ugh!
