The NBA rigging to get the Lakers in the NBA Playoffs? Well, NBA/TNT has the Mavericks/Lakers' game tonight as the second game of their doubleheader starting with Knicks/Heat at 7P. The game's also on ESPN Radio after Steve Kashul wraps up Bulls/Wizards' coverage on the Bulls Radio Network around 9:30P-ish...

I don't buy it for a second.

It isn't shocking, no sir.

Stern wants the Lakers in the playoffs, he makes a call, information is disseminated and on and on.

Doesn't this happen all the time?

Not rigged, influenced to varying degrees is probably more accurate.

They don't have an easy schedule the rest of the way and they lost a lot of winnable games recently. IF Kobe is messing around and getting triple doubles then anything is possible.

It wouldn't be a precedent for Kobe to miss the playoffs. They missed in '05 during the Rudy Tomjonovich, post-Shaq year. There's more than enough star power for the playoffs to be entertaining without two old guys (Kobe/Nash) and one overrated boring guy (Howard).

IIRC the Lakers organization have only missed the playoffs 5 times in the past 50 years.

But their 2nd and 3rd best guys were Smush and Kwame. I think they were only supposed to win like. 35 games that year. They were supposed to win like 65 this year. It's as disappointing a season as it gets for a franchise like LA.

Nas - any chance you like the Mavs or Jazz over the Spurs in Round 1? :lol:

Mavs/Spurs would be a good series. Spurs would win in 5. Maybe 6 if Dallas stole a win somewhere along the way.

The Lakers will be irrelevant this postseason, but I would have loved to see how they would perform with Jackson as coach. They sealed their fates when they hired D'Antoni as coach. He's nothing more than a charlatan who refuses or is unable to adapt to the strengths of his roster. Like I said in another thread, any coach who has no use for a healthy Pau Gasol is an idiot.

He's NBA Mike Martz.

It's amazing to look good as a coach when one of your PG's is really good at their job. See Del Negro, Vincent.

...And the jury is still out, believe it or not, regarding Vinny Del Negro as a head coach. This despite the Clippers (!) about to win the Pacific Division by a comfortable margin, currently 6 1/2 games over the Warriors.

That's because Vinny is a dope.
