It would be a different story or there wont be a story at all if Jordan Hill didnt have the money she can take advantage of. Thats the fact in life, however, it is avoidable.

Still, we uphold the Presumption of innocence, where Jordan Hill is Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

There also might not be a story at all if Hill didn't assault his girlfriend.

She's not suing him or going after his money at all currently. Hill is facing criminal charges.

Oh, alright. Thanks for clearing up, benji. For people who didn't get me, i meant gold-diggers. I was lead to believe that she could have pressed charges in Houston, but now that he is playin well and he is in some kind of spotlight she thought she would get more. Reverse the situation, i wouldn't respect a "man" either. So calm yo tits Koberulz and uly :lol:

Some red lights for LA in Game 2, yet somehow i never felt we were gonna lose. It turns out we are a great match-up for them, and, at times, the quality of basketball reminded me 2008 Lakers vs Nuggets series. That was one entertaining sweep :D

LOL! :lol: I felt the same way in game2. Thats coz the nuggets depended much on 3s and fastbreak points. If we miss, just head back fast on defense coz the nuggets dont stand a chance.

During the press conference of Coach Karl, I saw that Denver have beaten the Lakers in every aspect; rebounds 52-48, points in the paint 60-52, fastbreak 30-15 and Lakers even gave out a 19 point lead down to 4!

But what I am happy for is that Kobe is scorchin hot!! Bynum is a monster and Pau a great facilitator and scorer at the same time! Ebanks and J.Hill are giving us more offensive rebounds and points to stretch the defense. Blake and Sessions are balling and shooting threes in rhythm too!! Above all, we did this without Ron yet!

GO LAKERS! One Game at a Time

Great game for the Lakers. Lucky game I might say. Open threes were all over the place but the balls were not falling down for the nuggs from the great beyond.

Yeah, well... didn't happen XD But, Denver is a good team, i think they had to win at least 1 game in this series. But i feel like we are taking Game 4 and winning it in 5.

I feel they have to give a game away so as make Ron eligible to play in Round2 Game2, I guess that was it.

i just feel that there's a quite chemistry problem when bynum,gasol and kobe are playing together :? .. when kobe sits, that's the time their plays are running smoothly :roll: , but of course if pressure time comes kobe will mostly have the ball..

He is saying that when both Bryant AND Kobe are on the floor with Gasol, the Lakers offense doesn't look as good as when Kobe is on the bench. I agree even though I don't think it's actually possible.

Bynum's defense in the clutch was atrocious... no help at all... all that great stuff from Kobe and company and still a loss. Tough loss too. Game 6 is a MUST HAVE now

Man, after half time, Nuggets were just on fire and husted very hard. Why was Ramon Sessions scared to take a 3? Step up, my man! Bynum and Gasol, this is how we got swept last year. Stage is set. Game 7 and return of World Peace. DRAMA! :D

Funny how the commentators were trying to hype Kobe as if he was going to have his own"flu game."

He did have a pretty good game, i don't see how those performances by MJ are so sacred that commentators can't even mention it. Bynum and Gasol need to step up, "It feels like Game 7", well, u guys will be playin in game 7 now, fool! Show us the intensity then!

Thank you, Andrew. If we lose the series, i swear, it's on you and you only. Saying what you said you have to PLAY like it, not get dominated by raw McGee and Mozgov of all people!

Mad Laker fans are mad, haha

I don't know why Kobe fans think Bynum hasn't stepped up at all but for me Bynum has been the best player in this series undoubtedely. Now if Gasol and Kobe could step up and live up to their names...

I am not questioning anybody's legitimacy on playing under illness but it's true MJ's flu performance has inspired a lof of athletes and fans out there to imitate the similar act. Pdub's right in that media has been making needless hype on superstars' alleged illness regardless the level of seriousness.

Kobe played with broken finger for a season, i'm not mad if somebody like Butler who plays with a broken hand in a physical playoffs and is productive is compared to Kobe in that sense. MJ fans need to calm down, i guess it's because it's Kobe again, y'all hate when they are compared even if it's just a playoff flu game :D

And how could you not blame Bynum? First 2, even say 4 games, he played on par and sometimes dominated the whole Nuggets frontline. But in last 2 games, the CLOSEOUT games which he "wisely" described as easy in a pre-game press conference he was flat out outplayed offensively and defensively. I understand his offensive struggles, everyone can struggle at times, but at least hustle and play the defense you are known for! He just looked uninterested at times, like it was regular season!

What about Kobe in these series? He is Black Mamba so far, and if it wasn't for him we wouldn't even be close in game 5 and would lose by like 50 in game 6! In the previous games he din't play bad either, maybe not Kobe-good at times, but pretty good.
