    [Comment From Mark]

    Both teams are a step closer.
    5:54
    [Comment From Mark]

    The Lakers are a step closer to the birth of a legacy while the Spurs are a step closer to the death of their legacy.
    5:54
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    This is true. I like the follow up comment, I was waiting for clarification!! I didn’t want to have to be the one to bring up the bad news for the Spurs fans.
    5:56
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    I saw it, I liked it… I’d say you’re on track
    5:56
    Mark:

    I have a gutty feeling that the game will be close.
    5:56
    Mark:

    Thanks. :)
    5:56
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Hope for the worst and get a 30 point blow out! I’d like to see another version of Game 2!!
    5:57
    Mark:

    Provided that Lamar plays a la Game 2-ish style, we win by double digits
    5:57
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Thats a good point too!
    5:58
    Mark:

    He has been the X-Factor so far. Kobe is still Kobe.

    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Lakers Baby in fact!!!
    6:01
    Don (With Malice…):

    Ok… we have time: introductions? Bloggers? Or just here for the talk?
    6:01
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Hey Don, welcome back! Nice to see you here earlier than usual!
    6:01
    [Comment From ryan]

    lakers are gonna kill them tonight!

    Yeah… no math class today!
    6:02
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Introductions… bloggers…. take it wherever you’d like… I don’t mind everyone doing a bit of advertising for their site and any thoughts they may have!!

    [Comment From ryan]

    who thinks pau need a monster game today?
    6:03
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Mark provided us with his introduction earlier today in his Game 5 Key Points… I gave my statement for the day by refering to the NBA as “NOTHING BUT ASSHOLES”

    Laker WIN TODAY
    6:04
    [Comment From Nickster]

    Haha- they should employ the fine for flopping today… i hope the Lakers whoop them so there is no doubt who the superior team is– all this conspiracy theory stuff is annoying…
    6:04
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Charles Barkley: 100% asinine and stupid for the NBA to come out and make a statement regarding the fact that the play was a foul. It’s not like it changes the call, what’s the point
    6:04
    [Comment From ryan]

    i know! they think they can get away with their excuses just cuz they are the defending champs
    6:04
    BlackMamba22:

    Ok guys today is the day…it been a long time seen the laker are in the finals
    6:05
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    I saw this written on Forum Blue & Gold. It’s much more fun watching the Lakers being the underdog making their way back to the top then continuously winning like in the 3-peat, i thought it was an interesting point
    6:05

    Don (With Malice…):

    I think Pau needs to have a *good* game…

    [Comment From Bill]

    All right boys here we go! Beat those Spurs and rest up for finals!
    6:06
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Does everyone want to give a quick shout with their name and site…
    6:06
    BlackMamba22:

    Everybody needs to step up…san antonio will not lay down and let the lakers win.
    6:06
    Mark:

    I agree with that call by Barkley : What are they trying to say? Like they’re proving a conspiracy theory or something?

    6:07
    Mark:

    IS Nickster in here?
    6:07
    Don (With Malice…):

    but basically: “The game’s in the refrigerator. The door’s closed, the light’s out, the eggs are cooling, the butter’s getting hard, and the Jell-O’s jiggling.”

    What up Mark and LAKER FANS… i think PJ has to be willing to adjust a bit like play Kobe more minutes because finals don’t start until June 5th- let’s end this thing tonight!!
    6:09
    Mark:

    He’s my friend in Yahoo!Answers and he’s really been a great contributor there, of course, along with me.

    6:10
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Doug Collins just gave us the word: He has not been offered the job, and has not taken the job from the Bulls, but there is interest from both sides
    6:10
    [Comment From Nickster]

    I am glad the Bulls are going after Doug Collins- getting nervous cause B. Shaw had a good interview with them last week…
    6:10
    [Comment From Negro]

    where can I watch the game tonight online?
    6:10
    BlackMamba22:
    6:11
    Mark:

    I hope Doug Collins doesn’t coach again, he’s worse coaching than his current job in TNT.
    6:12
    Don (With Malice…):

    You write here Mark?
    6:12
    Mark:

    Oh yeah.

    The game is very late.

    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    TNT has got to make their money!!
    6:15

    Yup, enjoyed that one Mark
    6:16

    Hey Mark that was a great article… HERE WE GO!!!
    6:17
    [Comment From TCO]

    Here. Nice start.
    6:17
    [Comment From Nickster]

    POW!! i mean PAU!!!
    6:17
    Mark:

    Why are the Lakers not wearing their alternate home jerseys?
    6:17
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Great start for the Lakers. We’ve won every jump ball of the series so far…
    6:17
    Mark:

    It looks more better.
    6:17
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Nice to have the ball at the 4th quarter
    6:17
    TCO:

    I still think Pau needs to play Duncan one step closer to the baseline.
    6:17
    [Comment From Nickster]

    They only wear the white on Sundays
    6:18
    BlackMamba22:

    Duncan will get his points we just need to focus on the others
    6:18
    Mark:

    Oh, I see. Didn’t notice that one.
    6:18
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    2-1… looks like a middle school lunch time score!
    6:19
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    They just referred to Oberto as a “sneaky guy”… I thought it was quite funny
    6:19
    TCO:

    Pau is playing Duncan too close to the middle, in my opinion. Duncan could just turn to the baseline and either lay it up or pass.
    6:19
    Mark:

    3-2 Spurs.
    6:19
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Do you guys agree that Lamar has been starting games with random jump shots that set the wrong tone immediately
    6:19
    Mark:

    I like Gasol taking Duncan.
    6:19
    BlackMamba22:

    Score please
    6:19
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Pau has already missed 2 turnaround jumpers….
    6:19
    Mark:

    He’s really onto it.
    6:19
    TCO:

    I like seeing ball movement early.
    6:20
    [Comment From Nickster]

    Ya Lamar needs to take it to the whole and challenge Oberto… he should be able to take him all day…
    6:20
    TCO:

    Pau 0-3 to start.
    6:20
    TCO:

    er
    6:20

    1-4
    6:20

    Lakers already 1-7
    6:20
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Spurs lead 5-2
    6:20
    TCO:

    Kobe hits a fadeaway to make it 5-4.
    6:20
    [Comment From Respect Kobe]

    Not worried about it. Energy is the biggest thing,and they look energetic. Just a couple misses, that’s all.
    6:20
    [Comment From Guest]

    Who is winning?
    6:21
    TCO:

    Spurs.
    6:21
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Nice steal by Kobe… he drew his first foul somewhat early this game!! Perhaps free throws at some point tonight?
    6:21
    [Comment From Guest]

    How????!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    6:21
    Mark:

    They said sneaky for the 2nd time already
    6:22
    TCO:

    Pau is playing terrible defense on Duncan. He needs to meet Duncan further away from the basket.
    6:22
    Don (With Malice…):

    Nice basket from Odom
    6:22
    [Comment From Guest]

    THEYRE LOSING
    6:22
    [Comment From Respect Kobe]

    That’s how Lamar has to be.
    6:22
    [Comment From Nickster]

    That’s what i’m talking about with Lamar… all day man!
    6:22
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    There is Lamar’s great drive to the basket! Thats the aggresive play we need from him
    6:22
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    No foul on that play either?? Kobe got the basket but there should’ve been a whistle there…
    6:22
    [Comment From Nickster]

    Dude- where’s the and 1 for Kobe???
    6:22
    [Comment From Respect Kobe]

    Kobe still not getting free throws.
    6:23

    Finely’s corpse actually scored. Wow?

    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Nice to see we’re all on the same page!
    6:23
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Lakers have some good energy tonight, clearly looking to put the game away early

    I dint watch a lot , but dang Detroit was so close
    6:26
    [Comment From Nickster]

    The Spurs will still be legit-as long as you have the big three- and Parker and Ginoboli are pretty young and Duncan has at least 3 years left- they have the management to surround them with role players..

    Sheed’s just an awsomme dude.

    Rasheed plays with alot of passion though you have to give em that
    6:27
    TCO:

    I actually heard of that TAPATIO. I live in the IE.
    6:28
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Keep in mind, if Detroit manages to make it to the finals. Rasheed is just about guaranteed to get his 7th technical and will miss a game… giving the Lakers a huge advantage!
    6:28
    [Comment From Respect Kobe]

    Celts would be better for the league though, and I like that NBA basketball has had a bit of a revival this year. So yeah, I’ll take Celts.

    Things you might want to know, Gasol and Fisher : 1-of-8

    6:31

    Uve got to expect the Spurs to come out with alot of energy…Lakers need to stay in it during the Spurs’ first push

    6:32

    Finley is the only reason the Spurs look as good as they do. I’m fine with them living and dying by Finley’s 3-ball.

    i wonder if there is an over/under in Vegas on Kobe’s free throw attempts…

    You have to be kidding. Kobe’s had SIX FT attempts thus far this series – no way tonight is over 10.
    6:34
    Respect Kobe:

    Alright, lemme tell you what i’m loving about Kobe not getting to the line.
    6:34
    Mark:

    LA only had a one-game 20 assist night.
    6:34
    Respect Kobe:

    Now, it’s absolutely insane that this is even happening. There is no rational explanation for it. It’s a statistical anomaly.
    6:34
    Mark:

    The others are 13,17,16
    6:35
    Respect Kobe:

    But I don’t care. What I love the most is that I haven’t really heard anything from Kobe about it.

    During the Super Bowl there are thousands of different bets to place

    [Comment From JaredC]

    They even take bets on the coin toss…..might as well bet on Kobes free throws too

    [Comment From Lakers Dynasty]

    Has Chris Mihm played 1 minute in the playoffs yet?
    6:35
    Mark:

    Yup.
    6:35
    TCO:

    ‘Transparency’ bullshit. It accomplishes nothing.
    6:35
    [Comment From Lakers Dynasty]

    when did Chris Mihm play
    6:35
    Mark:

    Chris Mihm and “play” doesn’t sound well together.
    6:35
    TCO:

    In some blowout, probably?
    6:35
    Respect Kobe:

    And more importantly, he has been very quiet on the court, with regards to talking to the refs. When he does, it’s during timeouts and it’s very calm and respectful.
    6:35
    Mark:

    Nice call .

    [Comment From jason]

    whos chris mihm
    6:36
    [Comment From Lakers Dynasty]

    Chris Mihm has a player’s option for next season as well, so he’s getting a free 2.5 Million

    [Comment From laker-myluv]

    I totally don’t understand why spurs got to this points… I can’t understand why so many people think spurs was so good … so mad!!!! GO LAKERS !!! send them home aaaaaaaaaa
    6:36
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    I don’t think Chris Mihm will be back… Have to believe the Lakers would persuade him to retire or go elsewhere because they would rather have Mbenga
    6:36
    Mark:

    Nice pass by Duncan. 23-15 Spurs.
    6:36
    Respect Kobe:

    I hear the fishing off the Riverwalk is great in June.
    6:36
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    With Gasol, Bynum, Turiaf, Mbenga, and Mihm, one guy has got to go
    6:37
    JaredC:

    Havent seen Mbenga play much either
    6:37
    Nickster:

    They may try to package him for a 2nd rounder… he was a decent player when he was healthy
    6:37
    Mark:

    They’re putting Kobe on Manu.
    6:37
    JaredC:

    I love watching Turiaf play
    6:37
    Mark:

    25-15 Spurs.
    6:37
    TCO:

    Who said Kurt Thomas should play more?
    6:37
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Lakers trail 25-15…. Time to start puttingth eball through the hoop
    6:37
    Mark:

    I said, TCO>
    6:37
    [Comment From Lakers Dynasty]

    Chris Mihm has a player’s option, so the Lakers have to buy him out or waive him
    6:37
    Respect Kobe:

    What? A lose ball foul goes our way?
    6:38
    Mark:

    Check my keys for the game.
    6:38
    JaredC:

    Gasol cant hit nething right now
    6:38
    Daniel (LA Ball Talk):

    Early siting for Sasha tonight, hopefully he can shoot us back into this game!
    6:38
    TCO:

    I said quite a few games ago, actually.
    6:38
    Nickster:

    LOL… Gasol has to finish
