IMO, Kobe's the man to watch pag di nila na contain si kobe tapos sila agad.

But i'll got for DETROIT in 6.

Everyone is hoping their mini-dynasty will be ended by Detroit.

``Of course they are,'' O'Neal said. ``Everyone wants to see us falter. I just think that sometimes they think that we're the Yankees of baseball. ... We know what it's going to take. We're not going to walk on this team by any means. We have to do what we're supposed to do. I'm always supposed to win.''

personally kahit ayaw ko sa Lakers, sa kanila pa rin ako pupusta.

wala namang best defense pagdating sa Lakers eh, dahil kay BigDaddy, galing pa ng coach....
Siguro kahit saan mapunta si Shaq, lalakas ang team, bigyan mo lang ng matinong play. Shaq is the most dominant player!!!!

Spurs lang ang mejo ka-match nila sa season na to and with that team knocked off, parang mas dumali ang kalaban ng Lakers

mahihirapan talaga ang Detroit, para silang dadaan sa fuel injector nozzle :D

i still believe that defense can win championship, kita mo Dallas, san na napunta...

lagay mo kaya si Shaq sa Atlanta o kaya sa Bulls, ano kaya mangyayari....

bka malasin ang lakers, id go for the underdogs...

Only casual basketball fans would seriously believe that LA is all offense and no defense.

Just ask Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Rasho Nesterovic, Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen about LA's defense.

Defense wins championships? That's just sooooo cliche! Nasobrahan ata kayo ng kakapanood kela Quinito Henson at Andy Jao.

What wins championships is the ability to deliver the goods when you need it where you need it.

The goods im talking about may be offense one day, may be defense the next. It may be that crucial block, that fantastic steal, or that buzzer beating three pointer!!!

Hindi pwede depensa ka lang ng depensa. Ang ganda nga ng depensa mo wala naman gumagawa, eh pano ka naman mananalo

Dont worry guys, its typically Pinoy to push for the underdog, and I dont blame you hehe.

LA in 5!

Care to bet on that, anyone?

^ i agree...LA plays good defense, it's just effort and focus that they sometimes lose - often for 10 entire games at a stretch.

btw, i don't think i've seen kobe as good as he was in the last 4 games of the SA and the whole wolves series. instead of selfish freelancing, he would establish shaq in the paint, and once shaq had the full-time double team, he'd shred the defense on the perimeter, or find open teammates for 3-pointers.

LA in 5? no way! six pwede pa... pero once mag 3-3 sila ng pistons, pwede sila madisgrasya... im not a lakers fan, ayoko nga sila eh... pero bow ako kay kobe... pucha! ang galing niya talaga... pati kay phil jackson, magaling talaga siya magcoach...

agree with you PK about the whole package of the team.

LA is known for its tenacious defense, kobe is a terrific defender just like MJ, Shaq patrols the paint, payton is not known as the GLOVE for nothing and Malone probably the best PF ever in NBA history.

but sometime they dooze off, they relax.

in the detroit-pacers series, detroit only scored 9 points pero they held the pacers with in a single digit also.

somebody aside from RIP must step-up for detroit.
