Raptor's Robbed in Lakers game

Vincecarder

Just watched that Raptors vs. Lakers game. Let me tell all you Lakers fans out there, if it takes you guys overtime to beat a team that is missing that many players (Carter, Davis, Murray, Huffman.....Alvin Williams on a bum ankle)...they will not go very far. That was a Raptors win....some blown calls (MoPete's last shot in the 4th could have been called either way.

I'm proud if my guys playing like that, great effort......we had Freaking Foster guarding Shaq all game (really hate Foster) but they stayed in the game. Good effort Raps.....

Well if he just woulda made those free throws!!! Woulda got interesting...

Kobe had a great first half, but was horrible after that...

Shaq put up good numbers, 12/16, 17 rebs., pretty damn good....I was pulling for Raptors, I mean who doesnt want to see underdogs win? Unless your team is favorite

It was a great game. I'm still happy even though the Raptors lost. Some calls got blown both ways, Kobe got fouled on his basket in overtime but there were a few more bounces going the Lakers way.

Alvin Williams showed some real heart going back on the floor even though his ankles are killing him. After watching this game I still can't believe this is the same Lakers team that won the championship last year. Even though Shaq scored 30+ points, he still doesn't look the same, especially on defence. Lakers did pull off that feed to Shaq and when he get's triple teamed dump it out for the 3 a couple times but Fisher, Fox and Horry are not hitting them the way they use to. Something is definatly wrong with the Lakers, if they can't hammer weaker teams like the Raptors they might be in trouble to make the playoffs. Big game against the Kings will show what they can do.

Typical Lakers fan response.....

Get over your Lakers really stinking up the NBA this year. 4 peat my a$$.....maybe 4 Shaq pack combo's is more realistic........

Undertaker

lol
I'm cool with the fact that they aren't playin' very well this season.. still they beat YOUR Raptors (with or without Vince Carter, it doesn't make a difference.. they might have gotten 20 points from him but he would have been nowhere on defense against Kobe)

btw.. what did the Raptors EVER win? err... nothing.. that's right o yea.. a slam dunk title and a 2 ROYs(one who is now sitting on the bench in Portland)

JoeBenson

i disagree...i didnt see the game, but who guarded kobe, an ailing alvin williams, or pure-offensive player mo-pete, or possibly the ailing jerome williams, anyway you do it, vince is better defensively.......Kobe killed in the 1st half, but was nowhere to be found after that, 7 points in the 3rd and 4th combined and like 1 rebound and 1 assist....And no assists or rebounds in OT, but he did have that layup with 26 tick's left...Anyway you do it, Hunter blew the game by missing the first foul shot!

carter....couldnt wouldnt have mattered against kobe? seriously doubt that...they need ot to beat the grizzlies....ot to beat the raptors...maybe if shaq goes and cries to jackson and more interviewers again his teamates will be motivated...you gotta love that sixers game...kobe pass to horry who has a wide open drive to the basket and oh whoops horry couldnt catch the ball...probably would have missed the shot anyway

battier

when is carter coming back?
