WZ Showdown!!! Lakers vs Celtics | Page 11

This team never ceases to amaze me. Why ron was in-bounding that ball was waaay beyond me. That is a loss we are going to want back at the end of the season.

f**k Coach for drawing up a play like that at the end, come on man, Fisher can't create his own shot, design a play so a shooter can catch and shoot in rhythm...

f**k man...oh well, till next time Bean Town

Absolutely. But I don't think we'll get that chance.

Our defense lately has been amazing. If we play with this level of intensity on that end on a consistent basis, we're going to be extraordinarily difficult to beat in a series. We're just trying harder. It's no more complicated than that.

I agree the defense has been great since Kobe sat out ... Im thinkin Phil really cracked the whip and got the guys to turn it up a notch.

I cant wait to see Kobe back because I know we haven't peaked yet.

Well that was an appropriate end to that game.

Why doesn't Fish just shoot the 19footer instead of flailing like an idiot there?

I thought he was trying to get a foul call, or was going to get one

I know this has been stated many a time but Derek Fisher is done... The time he was in the game tonight truly was the deciding factor in the outcome. His illadvised brick of a lay up when we were down 1 with a minute left and his terrible defense. He could straight up cost us a game or two down the road when they mean the most.
