8. Lakers 44-37
Remaining Schedule:

vs. Rockets

9. Jazz 42-38
Remaining Schedule:

We're trying to tank by sitting Pek. JJ went off in the first half keeping it close, doubt that keeps up. GO JAZZ!

 

[zonasotahomer]

GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE
BIG AL IS GOING FOR 40
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Further]

Jazz won and now the lakers are in a tight one with the warriors.

Right now with 5:31 left in the fourth
W- 107
L- 101


Of course, I expect the refs to tip the balance towards the Lakers.

 

[Further]

107 to 107

Tied with 3:45 left

 

[ABM]

Wow, what a game! Wish I were watching it! Warriors up by one with 50 seconds to play!!

Blake just made 2 clutch FTs. He didn't do that in Portland

 

[Darkwebs]

The Jarrett Jack special. Unbelievable

 

[Darkwebs]

Jack redeems himself a bit with a huge rebound

LOL - Warriors pass to Jarrett Jack in the corner - who then steps backwards out of bounds like he ALWAYS does.

 

[ABM]

The Jarrett Jack special. Unbelievable

No kidding! *sigh*

 

[ABM]

Here......we......go.....

 

[ABM]

Curry time?

 

[Haakzilla]

...really, the Lakers have 48 FTAs in this game -- WTF?!

 

[ABM]

L*kers with 3 times as many free throw attempts than the W's.

Natch.

 

[Darkwebs]

...really, the Lakers have 48 FTAs in this game -- WTF?!

LOL. There's no conspiracy at all

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn. 50 FTAs for the Lakers. I don't think I've ever seen such an obscene amount for just one team.

 

[ABM]

The cold guy takes the last shot. Huh?

 

[Haakzilla]

...check that, make it 50 total FTAs in one game -- wow!

 

[Further]

The stern special, Lakers are not allowed to miss the playoffs.

 

[BlazerBeav]

...check that, make it 50 total FTAs in one game -- wow!

Compared to 16 for the Warriors.

 

[Darkwebs]

The cold guy takes the last shot. Huh?

Landry? The Lakers doubled Curry, leaving Landry wide open from around 18 feet. Curry passed it to him and he missed unfortunately.

 

[KingSpeed]

If Steph had made that shot...

So close

 

[ABM]

Landry? The Lakers doubled Curry, leaving Landry wide open from around 18 feet. Curry passed it to him and he missed unfortunately.

Ahh. I've been following on Yahoo and saw that Landry had just entered the game. Makes sense that he takes a wide open shot, though.

 

[RoyToy]

I'm sure hack-a-Dwight was used so that's probably a lot of it

 

[Haakzilla]

R.I.P. Kobe Bean!

 

[ABM]

Here's the irony: Earlier, some thought Pops might be "tanking" the #1 position so he wouldn't have to play the L*kers in the 1st round. Things is, though, if he beats the L*kers tomorrow night, he could go a long ways towards ousting them from playoffs altogether.

OTOH, with Kobe gone, he may want to play them after all. OTOH other hand, if he loses to the L*kers, he may lose the top spot....which will be important if/when the Spurs play the Thunder down the line...

Ahh, well... :MARIS61:

 

[MARIS61]

LOL. There's no conspiracy at all

Is it really a conspiracy when the entire sports world knows about it?

 

[ABM]

Is it really a conspiracy when the entire sports world knows about it?

I'll have to get back to you on that one.

I posted this in another thread but i'm surprised not many people seem to have seen it since it directly calls out officials helping the lakers. http://www.blazersedge.com/2013/4/1...eferee-free-throws-officiating-conspiracy-nba

Also, it wouldn't really "tanking" on the Grizz's part, but also keep an eye on the Utah/Memphis game. It's the last game Utah plays, and unless the Clippers or Nuggets lose one of their last games (c'mon Blazers... please get a win here for us!!!), then the Grizz will probably be the #5 seed regardless of the Utah game and will likely be resting their best players in that one.
