Official 2011-2012 Lakers thread

I think the Lakers problem is they have no real talent other than Kobe. Their offensive game is almost non existent. Fisher is a hit or miss, Gasol use to play with aggressiveness, but has not shown it, Bynum is the only one that is somewhat consistent. But you cant depend on your center to do all the work, similarly you cant do have a one man show with Kobe, cant rely on him to shoot 40pts a game every game. Added to that is the inexperience of the rookies, I think the Lakers really need a makeover. I feel bad for Kobe sometimes because he seems so helpless, especially in the 3rd quarter of the game, when they were down like 17 or so, he really tried to pick up the slack but the rest of his team couldnt support him. Its a tradegy that such a great talent has no support.

Its still very early, the team still needs time to gel.

Schedule is not helping either!

Yeah agreed back to back games isnt healthy for any team. You saw what happened to the Heat.

But yeah I think it does, but honestly I think you guys just need some high energy in your offense to get it going, I see it in McRoberts but he had like no minutes this game.

They played well against Utah, Pheonix and shutdown Dallas. Miami is my pick to come out of the East so to lose to them this early doesn't mean much to me.

Officiating on the other hand is a totally different story

Hell no, especially in the first half.

They will beat Orlando by 15 tmrw and we will all forget about tonight.

Hmm dont remember that, maybe my excitedness for the Heat pulling ahead made me not to.

But yeah you forget about tonight, while I celebrate.
