I am convinced that David Stern was, in fact, the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

Kingspeed - don't lie and pretend you have a valid source. You have been reading the Lakerground forum and have pieced together the thoughts of several conspiracy posts. Your "sources" are telling you exactly what the crazies over there have been postulating. Except, none of them even claim to know the truth, they are just tossing out theories. You took those theories, pieced them together and claimed you have sources. You are lying.

Wow.

The "It's Monday morning and nobody is allowed to laugh" Police are out in full force.

Geez people, lighten up.

Besides, we all know it wasn't Stern behind the plot. This was a subtle attempt by the mob to move the betting line on the OKC game.

What I'm hearing is that Phil was told that he was supposed to hand a "close victory" to the Blazers. If you watch the replay, Kobe was very purposefully short-arming those freethrows as Phil asked him to. Derek was supposed to make one of two and then he and Kobe were told to make sure they foul whoever gets the ball for Portland so that the Blazers can pull it out with game winning freethrows. The final challenge for Phil, though, was how to deal with the final three seconds. Kobe has taken and made these shots all season long and to ask him to purposefully brick a big shot like that after bricking two free throws would've been too much to ask of Kobe's ego. So Phil chose Gasol who had only made one three in his entire career as a Laker. The play was completely designed for him. Kobe didn't complain and pull a Pippen. Kobe didn't even try to get open. And afterwards, Kobe wasn't all that upset. Meanwhile, Pau couldn't help laughing at what they had just done.

So why was the game thrown? Because Stern has ordered the refs to make sure we lose our next two and fall to the 8th seed. Today's game was on ABC and Stern wanted it to be a playoff preview. He wanted to get people excited about a "sure to be dramatic" Blazers-Lakers first round series. Of course, the series will go 7 games but then Kobe, Phil, refs, etc will make sure we lose that final game, just as Andre Miller had been told in confidence by one of his friends in the front office. And that's why Miller said what he did. He was telling his team, we have to fight the refs and the league to get out of that 8th seed and ruin Stern's plans. Miller is pissed.

Anyway, that's what I'm hearing. I'll let you know if I hear anything else.

You're forgetting the most important ingredient.

The magnetic ball David Stern demanded to be put into play whenever Martell Webster is shooting free throws.

Watch the replay. The ball boy clearly changes the ball out just before MW steps to the line.

For the record, Spurs/L*kers in the first round would be more dramatic. K*be v. Durant in the first round would be more dramatic. No one cares about the Blazers except for our fans.

Exactly why those teams must advance (in Stern's eyes), and therefore should not meet in the first round if at all possible.
 
I am hearing that Kobe is going to rape someone again.

But that's just what I am hearing.
 
About both teams tanking--I got a couple more things to get off my tremendously muscular, hairy chest. Why have the Lakers lost 6 of their last 9 games? And just to ice the cake to ensure more losses in their remaining 2 games, Kobe will sit out against the Kings and the Clippers. In 17 days, they have dropped from 53-18 (.746) to 56-24 (.700) and will drop to 56-26 (.683) after this week's tough back-to-back.

Similarly, look at the Blazers horrible streak lately. How can a team as good as us have played only .500 ball for so long? That's right, we've been .500 since way back after the Clippers game. Does anyone remember the Clippers game? If you can't place it you're in good company, showing how long our .500 play has gone. If this draft had an Oden I'd be suspicious.

I understand Kobe was 8/30, but why the hell did Pau take the last shot?

To throw the game. Kobe laughed with Phil drew up the play. Pau admits to never shooting threes in practice. Kobe had just hit a clutch three. Why wouldn't Phil have gone back to him? The game was thrown, plain anfd simple. There's no way this shit would've happened in a playoff game.
 
It WAS strange that Kobe was laughing about the loss throughout the press conference. If a coach wanted to lose a game without directly telling his players to do so (he wouldn't tell them directly because at least one would talk, maybe years later when he wrote his memoir) then the coach would do it the way Jackson did--by inventing a weird play that was bound to fail because they had never practiced it.

Why is no one talking about how we were behind the entire 1st half, then it was announced at halftime that Roy wouldn't return, so it looked like curtains for us, then early in the 3rd we promptly took the lead and never gave it up? During this time Kobe was passing it instead of shooting it. Pretty strange how the Lakers sucked without our star in the game. Our bench of Webster and Rudy, who have sucked for so long, suddenly looked good. Hmm...

The obvious motive is staring us in the face--the Lakers don't want us in the 1st round because they keep losing to us. We wanted to lose the game so we could face them, so suddenly Roy gets an injury that no one saw. How convenient, the loss of Roy loses us tonight's OKC game, too, still trying to play the Lakers after we blew the Sunday game by winning it.

Nothing says NBA excitement like missing 3 of 4 free throws down the stretch.

Americans won't be able to contain themselves.
 
:lol: for real? I mean...I know Kobe didn't really work to get open, actually no one but Gasol did but...are you fuckin' serious Kingspeed? How are you going to rip off your own team like this?

However, watching Gasol and Kobe laugh as they walk off the court was weird.

I heard all of this before I read Lakersground.

I don't know maybe because he knew he'd be double and tripled team??

Also after he told Kobe to miss the foul shots I guess he should have told the team not to rebound the ball too?

Stern is going to get involved in this huge conspiracy paln so he can get some hype going between a #8 and a #1 seed?

Yes. Most people would take a Lakers first round win for granted. Now, the world will be tuned in. I hope we overcome the refs tonight, though. I want 50 wins.

And I sure also that Phil didn't care that they drop a game behind the Cavs for home court which they will probably lose now but if they had won and finish out would have had the tie breaker. Ya, that doesn't matter.

They would rather laugh and make light of the loss rather than face how bad they are playing. They don't want it to be real, they still think they can just turn it on.

Hopefully it wasn't just them playing bad, the Blazers had something to do with it.

The Cavs clinched homecourt over a week ago. And no, the Lakers don't have the tiebreaker over Cleveland. Cleveland swept the Lakers this season.

Well if Stern can fix a weekend game on ABC, then fixing a game on Monday night that isn't televised nationally should be a piece of cake. Right? Especially if Stern went through all the trouble of fixing a nationally televise game the day before.

My mistake, I meant Orlando for 2nd place.

Ah, yes. Clearly, the Lakers didn't care about that. That's why the play was drawn up for a guy who hasn't made a three all season.
