:iagree:..hope to god that he doesnt get injured this season..

Call me crazy, I just think the Lakers need time and have the pieces in place.

Just like anything, when you have a ton of changes it takes time for things to come together. The current NFL season was a perfect example of this in that the traditionally better & older teams needed more time to get going but in the end the top tier teams got it together.

I won't play the blame game, and I'm not going to panic!

i think its going to be the lakers rebuilding season.

Celtics are done, Lakers just need time :)

its a rebuilding season. Celtics made stupid moves. But numbers dont lie thou. We are still up one!

:wtf2:

Lakers are gonna be ok, I'll wait until the trade deadline to pass any judgement. I agree with Wais though, I think we need a decent perimeter shooter than another big man but D.Howard can only help...Kobe doesn't trust anyone for sh*t, reminds me of the years he was playing with...oh wait, Kobe's never trusted anyone for sh*t. He needs to start pretending like Pau and Bynum are the guys he won championships with, if he draws the double play and dishes out to one of those two inside the paint 8 out of 10 times we're getting a basket.

Mike Brown is definitely falling off, I liked his energy at first but the way he's using Pau really doesn't make sense as Phelan said...If I see Pau take another three I'm gonna drive down there and punch someone.

The Lakers are suffering from no leadership. Every great team needs a point guard that can set the pace of the offense. Just as Rondo does for the Celtics, just as Derrick Rose does for the Bulls, Just as Steve Nash does for the Suns, Just as CP does for the clippers. They need a strong guard (no Kobe is not going to cut it anymore)> They need someone who can LEAD the team and create offensives opportunities. In order for a team to play dynamically and well rounded, they need someone to lead their offense, someone who isnt afraid to shoot, and can most of all set up and feed plays. Right now, the Lakers dont have that, hence their lack of offensive hustle.

But they haven't had a PG for a long time and have won several championships without one.

I'm still sticking to my guns and staying patient. I would bet the farm no one is traded and they will get it together.

Yeah with Kobe at his prime, but Kobe isnt playing like he was and cant be expected to carry the team like mentioned before, we will see, I still like the Lakers, cuz of Kobe, never lost respect for that dude, but the team HAS to step it up if they are gonna win some games and make it to play offs this season.

I Aadded a new Lakers avatar, hopefully this can break some of the bad luck :icon17:

the WHOLE farm? lol

Ride or die! :happydance:

wrong jinx-breaker waizzzzzzz; my friend says to stop watching the games so the lakers stop losing :p

:icon17:

They beat Utah when I saw them away from my house.

The curse has been lifted!

hasn't stopped her from blaming you for their 3 game slide :roflpuke2:

You guys are silly :icon17:

Nice avatar Waizz but I think this would be a more proper avatar since the Lakers are feeling sick right now.

:bowrofl::inoutroflpuke: JP JP :p

^lol

I blame Zohrab, ever since he missed that game we've been on a downward spiral :roflpuke2:

We have the Clippers tomorrow :shakes head:

:stirthepot:

blazers grizzlies tonight :tup:

Memphis is leading in the Southwest division, should be a good match up for the Blazers, while the Heat are playing the Cavs, should be a lot of sour Clevland fans there to cheer for LB. :icon17:

Thats got my attention. For the first time this season I will watch the heat play. just days before they play my bulls. i am studying them tonight.

Ohhh setting the DVR right now!

:shakes head:

:inoutroflpuke:

The new nba video game commercial got me thinking.... When did Jordan get so fat?!

When he stopped running up and down the floor of the court. :icon17:

Lakers vs Clippers is tonight!

Side note- I might be going to the Clipper game tmrw against the Grizzlies :icon17:

Nice enjoy if you go :tup:

Good win, we need more like this. :)

Man, loved this game. I really miss games like this.

I know, just be patient Z they will get it together.

:tup: I know these guys have the talent all they need is the consistent energy...at this point I just love watching games because for the first time in a long time they got something to prove

lol and my friend texted me to say thank you for turning off the game and allowing the lakers a comeback win :)

:tup:

:werd:

Tell her I watched most of the game at the gym :tup: my avatar change worked!

most? so you admit when you turned off and went home from the gym, the lakers mounted their comeback :)

BS, I missed maybe 10 mins max :shakes head:

LOL, Jim Rome this morning said "This is the first time this season I saw Meta World Peace and thought 'table leg'"

If you don't know the table leg reference:

Meta World Peace :roflpuke2:

MWP was focused last night, he had that scowl on his face for most of the game that has been missing for awhile!
