Hornets-Lakers

Awesome game last night won by the Hornets. Lots of Fakers fans in attendance received their share of abuse including
the Bandwagon Cam.

Rumor has it that Kobe went diva last night, resembling thewheel chair that Wade"needed" for a shoulder injury& that performance that paul pierce recently had. Can you confirm?

I watched the entire game and love did not diva it. It looked like his foot is going to hurt awhile and he was on crutches at the airport

but he was not playing the role (Diva). He wanted to gut it out but did get subbed out on the defensive end. Kobe will not be 100% the rest of the series. You don't roll your ankle at his age and bounce back quickly.

Awesome game that might have been the best game of the playoffs so far. Paul looked like he had gone a few rounds in the ring by the end of the game.

No intensity. Jackson's "triangle offense" looks more like Stansbury's pass it around and chuck it up offense. I know Phil Jackson is a genius of sorts but leaving the bench in against the Hornet starters at the start of the 4th doomed the Lakers last night. It would also help if Khole's husband would show up every night.

....trying to compare it to Pierce and said Bryant will be 100% in game 5. Kobe would probably have to lose a limb to come out on his own. I TiVo'd the compressed replay on NBA TVand am ready to see it before I watch game 5 in this series.

It's crazy, these NBA playoffs look more likethe NHL'sQuest for the Cup this season. The 1st round of both have been incredible.

Better than Portland/Dallas Game 4? OKC/Denver Game 3? Atlanta/Orlando Game 3? Ummm... yea I'm not so sure about that one. Also, as much as I hate the Lakers too, I can't say Kobe was playing the diva. As he's gotten older his heart has grown a lot. That's one thing I'll give him.

2 superstars going at each other...physical play to the point of injury...dynamic crowd...2-time defending champion...established champions against upstarts with a rookie coach...

I would say the game was in the top 3 of the playoff season, but in reality, it doesn't matter.

I figure I'm a little bias though. The way I'm looking at it is that NO is probably the worst team in the playoffs right now. Even though they have been playing the Lakers pretty well, I just can't help but watch and not be impressed with the Lakers performance. I'm not shocked but that they are, but any Laker fan that I know should be disappointed with them being taken to at least a game 6 with a team that's missing their leading scorer and no dominant bigpresence. Because of their showing against NO, I just don't see the Lakers making it any further than the conference finals if they even make it that far.
