    this is a lie!!!!???? right?? lol

  9. selam57 says:

    no way !

  10. lakerboi says:

    This game is way too serious to be playing around with the unifoms. Players should be focused on the game and winning, not focused on what the fans are thinking…bad call on FO if true.

    This would only be fair if the Celtics were doing the same.

  11. LD2k says:

    Guys, I’m NOT lying.

    I’ve known about it for a while, but couldn’t say anything for several reasons.

  12. PhantoM says:

    Thx for the update, imma tell everyone on the net

  13. Felix says:

    You sound serious so I guess I’m a believer. Wow never would have crossed my mind that it’d be possible.

  14. lakersarepansies says:

    your lakers have no balls

  15. Caleb says:

    LOLOLOLOL. Maybe they want the Celtics to be distracted.

  16. two0one7 says:

    I can not wait for this. It’s going to be hilarious.

  17. ab4sure says:

  18. ab4sure says:

    But seriously they are going to do that….they also are bringing back paula abdul and the 80’s cheerleaders…along with dancing barry.. and even Chick Hearn…..lmao…hahahhahhahhahahaa

    I was watching the Lakers Celtics rivalry stuff on NBA TV today (instead of cleaning my carpets and doing laundry like I was supposed to be doing), they were showing they were showing the game 6 of the 87 finals. It was awesome and now I learn the Lakers are going to be where the 87-88 jerseys and the short shorts. Now all I need to see is Bynum do a skyhook a la Kareem.

  20. nyla says:

    If we lose, I want them burned!

  21. Lakers 24 7 says:

    lmao i cant wait to see this, wow

  22. r3dempti0n says:

    seriously? really? that’ll be weird.. but a sight to see. lol. really?

  23. nyla says:

    I’m not feeling it at all. lol I don’t like throwbacks and I don’t like those hideous short shorts. The should just say screw it and go out and wear speedos.

    I agree with Lakerfan. I wanna see a shyhook from Bynum!

  24. LD2K’s announcement is a FACT! :-D

  25. PHANT0M says:

    sooo many phant0ms..

  26. The Nugget says:

    We’ve known this for awhile now but we were under strict order not to tell anyone ’til a few hours before showdown.

    Should be a fun game. :D

  27. Lakers says:

    haha I cant wait to laugh

  28. RD says:

    god ol mighty! please no! we’ll be the laughing stock of the season! but as a laker fan u cant help but laugh at it if they do bust out the short shorts. hopefully they’ll be mid-90s short shorts. the mid-shorts.

  29. PHANT0M says:

    We gettin murked!

  30. PHANT0M says:

    My guess is that one ref, bet on boston

    HMMMMM…

  31. gugy says:

    Celtics are killing us.

  32. PHANT0M says:

    Critt=Star
    Sike..

    This isnt harlem globbtrotters peeps

  33. STEVE says:

    Nice pants! Pretty gay like your team!

  34. n8 says:

    [Comment ID #20992 Will Be Quoted Here]

    Kick back big gay Steve. Nobody here wants to know what’s going on in that sick little mind of yours.

  35. Lakers 24 7 says:

    Reffs piissed me off, so many dumb calls like wow
    Nice tackle by Lamar, must be trying out for the NFL next season lol

  36. Michael_23 says:

    Lakers trying to be funny or somethin’? This game wasn’t all that funny.

    Celtics are scary.

  37. keep24 says:

    Someone should get fired for this game!

    I know everyone had a bad shooting night and all, but why tonight. This was a special night!

    And, please, someone stop Lamar from shooting those threes.

    The game plan was so simple:

    1. Bynum – inside first and then out.
    2. KB – drive to the rim, draw players, kick out to AB for easy dunks.
    3. Ariza – slash to the rim, all the long.

    How hard is that? That’s just bad coaching!!!!!!!!!!

  38. PHANT0M says:

    Dont blame this all on lamar..
    Kobe 6 for 25???

    Bynum got into early foul trouble
    and the 3’s arent what concerned me from lamar, it was those missed
    layups during the 1st half.. We had it down to like 6 at the end of the 3rd but then we crumbled..

    Anyways dont look back, go forward, and get ready for philly. cheese.

  39. MILO says:

    i think it’s safe to say the reff’s had something to do with this loss

  40. Left says:

    I think it’s safe to say we’ll never see those short shorts again.

  41. drake hunter says:

    Refs dictated the Laker come back and momentum in the third quarter. Lakers got it down to 6 when Pierce drove the lane and Kwame stood in to take a charge. Oh wait, refs called a foul on Kwame instead sending Pierce to the line to complete a 3 point play. If that play had been called the way it should have been Lakers could have come back down and maybe scored a 2 or 3 pointer and cut the lead to 3 sending Celtics to a timeout with Lakers having momentum and confidence builder. Instead they get more fustrated and take a bad shot and it became a blowout from there.

  42. MILO says:

    [Comment ID #21022 Will Be Quoted Here]

    there was alot more questionable calls than just that one but yes that one was important

  43. ab4sure says:

    [Comment ID #21022 Will Be Quoted Here]

    blame the refs… oh plz… are we in hs??? we got blown out, accept it like a man.

  44. Majic "Big" Johnson says:

    We need another piece guys. Straight up..

    This game was basically our measuring stick and it shows tonight that for us to compete at the next level, we need another piece.

    As far as the short-shorts go, he unless the Celts were doing it themselves we shouldn’t have done it. As a player it would have gotten to mentally if they were taunting about the shorts.

  45. Daniel says:

    I couldn’t understand some parts of this article G NEWS: Lakers to make “short” work out of Celtics tonight at The Lakers Nation – “We Follow Because We Believe.”, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

  46. John Fredrickson says:

    Guys, those shorts were BOTH 80’s and 90’s- some guys wore the shorts from the 80’s, but most of them, Kobe especially, wore the kind from the early 90’s! Now I know you’re all too young to remember the 80’s, but back then guys off the court wore that style! They weren’t sports shorts, no, just regular shorts for going ANYWHERE! They were the norm, TONS of guys wore that style, and we just called them shorts, not short-shorts! If you don’t believe me, just check out Flicker under 80’s and shorts, and see how many people have pictures of theirself wearing those NORMAL shorts!
