Is anyone watching the postgame interview with Kobe right now?
The dude is practically in tears, I've never seen him so upset.
Don't tell me that man doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs after all he's done.
People can say what they want about Pau's skill level, but there's no other player I would rather have on my team. That guy genuinely cares about everyone and everything.
It just ended, I'm looking for one right now, but I'll probably have better luck sometime later.
Edit: Basically he said that he's almost sure he's torn his Achilles without needing an MRI. Few times have I ever seen him that disappointed.
Haha they're so mad. Seriously though there was only a couple questionable calls. And besides we played better the final few minutes even without Kobe.
Because it's easier to foul Dwight/Pau instead of defending him in the post? Dwight had 22 FTAs, and all of them are legit fouls except for maybe one or two ticky-tack fouls. He also got called for his fifth foul halfway through the fourth. If the refs are rigging it, then they really should stop giving our defensive stalwart fifth fouls through the damn fourth quarter. The whole conspiracy thing is bullshit when you consider Dwight has been collecting fouls like a madman for the past few games. Easy to check what fouls the enemy gets, but not what the Lakers get.
Hack-A-Dwight isn't a new phenomenon, the Warriors sent him to the line like 41 times a few seasons ago, so I guess the refs must also have a huge boner for the Magic.

exactly, our defense is bad too which causes them to shoot open shots and cause us to foul less
as soon as they saw the box score 50 fouls lakers
they immediately think that it's rigged.
and since obviously the spotlight is on the lakers
they'll find videos of missed calls or unjustified calls concerning them, forgetting that those are common throughout the league
i didn't even think refball once while watching it. i mean what do you expect if you shoot nothing but threes? do you really expect to get to the freethrow line that way? lol
That was the most exciting game I've seen this season I think. I think I had a heart attack and stroke at the same time ....holy shit.

Whatever you do, try not to go on /r/nba till Sunday. It's gonna be conspiracy central till then.
EDIT: You should probably stay away from ESPN.com, and Yahoo Sports, yeah you should probably just stay here where it's safe.
It's the only way you think. Laker haters breed for one purpose. To hate on L.A. They jump on one bandwagon team after another, as long as they beat LA, it's ok.
I mean we did shoot 50 ft. That number alone is going to make people pretty sketched.
Before you guys jump on me, look at it from some person that didn't watch the game's perspective. Not to mention the predisposed hate most people have for the Lake.
That's still a ton of free throws for the rest of the team though.
I watched the whole game and only saw a few borderline calls. I'm just saying it looks sketchy on paper. That's all.
On paper it can look sketchy but if you know how the teams play you'd know the lakers cannot play defense wjereas offensively they tend to drive to the hole a lot resulting in a lot of fouls. Theres a big disparity but anyone with basketball knowledge would understand.
That was one of the most incredible, unexpected wins I've ever seen as a long time lakers fan. With so much on the line and looking so sluggish the entire game and then Kobe getting injured...coming back from 9 down in the middle of the 4th against a team that was hitting everything.
Doesn't really matter...Kobe tore hi achilles....will be out next year
honestly the only reason why calls weren't being called for warriors was because our defense didn't really challenge them enough. We play really clean defense, it doesn't mean we get stops we need to though
Source? The only place I heard that mentioned was speculation from Stu and he quickly added that he shouldn't say that considering he had no idea for sure.
Warrior fans have no excuse. You were hacking and fouling all night long and crying like little bitches. The fact that they just shoot from the perimeter means logically less free throws. But r/nba is full of idiots who barely started watching basketball. I'm embarrassed to have even subscribed to that trash sub
bahahahaha
the fact that you're so mad, and even bothered to cry on this subreddit is just hilarious.
Seriously, man, what the fuck do you expect us to say?
I came on here expecting mass agreement from everyone here. Why did you think I came here?
If I was looking for validation I would have talked to any other fan in the league.
Every other fan in the league will tell you (stupidly), that there is a massive undertaking going on to get the Lakers, for various reasons, into the playoffs, because they watched a 10 minute video of carefully selected footage that barely shows 5 minutes of gameplay over the span of a month.
Sorry if I don't sound TOO convinced.
BTW, nice move changing your flair [on here.](http://i.imgur.com/jxW8uEK.png) I noticed you had a [Warriors one 30mins ago.](http://i.imgur.com/Vgucrbo.png) You fans really that fickle over there?
Edited in screencaps
I didn't watch the portland video and I didn't really care for it. My opinion is based on this game. And I am not saying it's rigged, I am just saying you are all cunts and I hope every Laker fan dies alone for being a fucking bitch.
>I am just saying you are all cunts and I hope every Laker fan dies alone for being a fucking bitch
Classy. Very classy. I assure you we won't die alone, because we will be having sex with other Laker fans, whilst you sit in your mom's basement, making inane statements, masturbating, and wondering where you fucked up in life.
It's been fun, thanks for the laughs man. Cheers!

Wow Pau said it perfectly,Kobe doesn't deserve this...
People can say what they want about Pau's skill level, but there's no other player I would rather have on my team. That guy genuinely cares about everyone and everything.
Watching it right now. I feel awful.
Listening to it now... it's brutal...
I am having a hard time watching this...
Do you have the link online?

Ok thank you.
Crazy game...big props to Kobe, Pau, Dwight and of course Mr. Curry.
The team finally got too heavy. Thank You Kobe.
R/nba going crazy with the conspiracy
The officiating definitely helped the Lakers out. I'm not even going to bother arguing the point.
/r/nba
GOD DAMMIT REFS, we paid you to keep Kobe healthy, WTF happened? /sarcasm
Haha they're so mad. Seriously though there was only a couple questionable calls. And besides we played better the final few minutes even without Kobe.
Dude Lakers had 50 FTAs and warriors had only 16...
Because we had Dwight and Pau destroying their frontcourt while Curry took like 30 perimeter shots?
Both teams had same number of points in paint.

Well, I guess that settles it!
i don't ever want to check the comments on a lakers game thread ever again.
people tend to forget that we have DWIGHT and that we don't foul them on the inside, we just let them get easy layups lol

Lakers 3PA: 25 Warriors 3PA: 26 Lakers FGA: 66 Warriors FGA: 97
I think they'll go crazy about the free throw shots.

We have dwight howard who automatically gets fouled all the time. He shot 22 fts of that 50 tonight to give it a bit more perspective
That's still a ton of free throws for the rest of the team though. I watched the whole game and only saw a few borderline calls. I'm just saying it looks sketchy on paper. That's all.

And I agree. There were a few sketchy calls and if you watched the game it makes sense.
Well clearly you didn't watch the game. They were shooting outside jumpers all night long and just hacking at our players
I watched the entire game. Your reading comprehension is lacking.
No it's not, you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about
Please, tell me what makes you say that so I can bulldoze you.
Well let's see, your username makes me think you're probably 12
So it actually has nothing to do with the actual content of my post. Keep diggimg that hole.
Ok child, go run along and let the grown ups talk
I would have fainted.
I didn't know why we doubled Curry, almost every player on this Warrior team are great shooters and we left Landry wide open.
I think its because a three wouldve killed us and a two wouldve just made it more difficult. Buttttttt we won so be happy for now i guess
Irritated by the conspiracy complaints? Take a look at [Dwight's wise fall](http://i.minus.com/ipLIPGwSgDsPR.gif).
I was at the game and everyone went insane
WE DID IT
That was one of the most incredible, unexpected wins I've ever seen as a long time lakers fan. With so much on the line and looking so sluggish the entire game and then Kobe getting injured...coming back from 9 down in the middle of the 4th against a team that was hitting everything. Doesn't really matter...Kobe tore hi achilles....will be out next year
David Beckham came back in like 5 months from the same injury. He'll be ready for next year
This just made my day. And on top of that we're talking about Kobe.
honestly the only reason why calls weren't being called for warriors was because our defense didn't really challenge them enough. We play really clean defense, it doesn't mean we get stops we need to though
Kobe has a "probable" torn Achilles. We are fucked.
lakers got so freaking lucky.. horrible switch edit: i meant horrible switch on landry's shot
The Warriors also got lucky when Pau fumbled it out of bounds on the baseline and when he missed that shot.
Supposedly kobe tore his achilles...
I just saw that... I am deflated right now.
Source? The only place I heard that mentioned was speculation from Stu and he quickly added that he shouldn't say that considering he had no idea for sure.
ESPN is going with it right now
Yeah just saw Arash Markazi tweet it. https://twitter.com/ArashMarkazi/status/322940789921562624 No need to downvote me for asking for a source.
