Olajuwon and McHale are thee two best low post players in the history of the NBA. If Howard can't learn from them, he's hopeless.

1986 NBA FINALS GAME 5

McHale - 33 Pts, 8 Rebs, 1 Asts, 2 Blks
Olajuwon - 32 Pts, 14 Rebs, 3 Asts, 8 Blks

That was a great series.
That series never would've happened if it wasn't for a bullshit shot by Ralph Samson!

The Rockets beat the Lakers with Olajuwon ejected from the game. And that was with the game tied. Even if Sampson missed it; they could have still won it in double OT. Also, the Rockets would have won Game 6 at home anyhow. They were a better, deeper team at that point.

The Lakers were built for the regular season and get home court in the playoffs. The one time they were finally challenged in the weak west, they crumbled like a stack of twigs.

And the Lakers are lucky they got beat by the Rockets. The C's were going to sweep them if not. Nobody was stopping the C's that year.

The Lakers were built for the regular season?

Is that why they made the Finals 9 out of 10 times in the 80's and won 5 of them?

Yes; against who in the early and mid 80's in the West? Nobodies. Meanwhile, the C's, Pistons, Sixers, Bucks and Hawks beat the hell out of each other. By the late 80's they were going six and seven games in their series cos the Mavs and Jazz finally came on; and even then they needed some generous patented Stern officiating. And even still then, the better east teams were still beating the hell out of each other.

Do you honestly believe for one second that if the C's were in the weak west and the Lakers were in the west, things wouldn't have been different?

The west was weak? Right!

You just got done praising one of those western teams a few posts ago.

Yea, it took six years before the Lakers faced a real team in WC playoffs. Even when they didn't make the finals in 81, it's cos they couldn't get past the 40-42 Rockets. :lol:
 
I just have to leave a comment here.
The Minnesota Timberwolves FINALLY beat the Lakers!
:lol::lol::lol: and :lol:
And in 2 years, Kevin Love will joining Russell Westbrook as the newest Lakers.

And that's a good possibility. This is something I suggested earlier a page or three back. :cool: But since then I acquired a picture of K Love with a Tranny hooker and as a loyal wolves fan I can assure you K Love ain't going anywhere. The guy has to learn to roll up the darkly tinted windows on his ride.

Kevin Love is having an MVP season and he would be a great addition to the Lakers in 2015.
 
Well, the Timberpups almost pulled out a LA sweep! If the ball would have rolled one way on the rim in the last mini-seconds instead of the other way, we'd had a shot in overtime.
I thought the officials should have called interference when that one fan tried to adjust the roll of the ball on the rim by jumping up and hanging onto the net. But he was too old, out of shape and his feet never left the floor!
Was that you Billo? :lol:

I take the 5th!
 
Nash is now out for at least two weeks with back issues.

The news in LA is at least they have won a couple games.
