Dwight has actually shown up the past few minutes (outside the free throws lol), but this is starting to feel like the end of his time in Orlando. I wouldn't be surprised if this is Dwight's last game in a Lakers uniform.

Lakers won't deal til after the trip if they do it. All star break.

 

[ratcliffja]

Lakers are better with pau instead if Howard.

Despite how bad Pau looks at times, the Lakers have a better record with him on the court than without. They're 18-18 with him and 5-8 without him.

Asik looks like a superstar center lately and Howard looks like one of our PF's... wtf lol

 

[Black Mamba]

Despite how bad Pau looks at times, the Lakers have a better record with him on the court than without. They're 17-18 with him and 5-8 without him.

In fairness 3 of those 8 losses were no pau, Howard, or hill against 3 playoff teams in a row.

Dwight looks like he doesn't give two fucks tonight.

Shaquille going in on Dwight now lol.

 

[Fenderputty]

Shots fired at Gary Vitti?

 

[Matrix]

I would not want to be in the Lakers locker room right now next to Kobe lol I wonder if Howard is crying.

man if Asik had a decent offensive game......

Yeah, I don't think there's any question that Asik is at least at the level of a borderline all-star like Josh Smith or Paul Millsap which is amazing since he is making less than Kris Humprhies, but I worry if he can maintain his play in extended minutes. It seems like McHale has Asik on a strict allotment of minutes or something. We've already seen what a healthy Dwight is capable of in Orlando.

 

[otapnam]

Mchale is probably making asik waste energy in the paint on offense with his 3 pt shooting power forward offense. He's always tryin to grab off boards by himself

 

[Magilla]

Hope the Celts don't come out flat in the third like usual. :\

 

[The Frankman]

I know why he came out early, but damn Fab Melo should've stayed in Syracuse.

 

[Black Mamba]

Kobe should have 10 assists tonight. Not his fault no one hitting open shots off his passes.

 

[The Frankman]

lol Sager: You think Dwight Howard came to Kobe at halftime and said "You gotta play through the pain".

 

[Psychological Intellect]

damn kobe

 

[Brinbe]

Yeah, Lakers are fucked.

 

[Smokey]

Nori watup on dat bet

 

[Cloudy]

Metta and Dwight are horrific

 

[Psychological Intellect]

4 fouls already?

 

[The Frankman]

Howard just ended Bradley. Nice hard foul.

 

[Black Mamba]

On god he puts in Jamison. His is one man so dumb.

 

[Matrix]

Metta and Dwight are horrific

Even Konex can't turn this around.

 

[diehard]

Lakers are just unlucky to run into the C's without Rondo

 

[Psychological Intellect]

jesus let Nash run the offense already.All he's doing is giving the ball to Kobe.Kobe's hitting his shots but you aren't gonna win with one person scoring.

No shit but the problem is defense. They're playing small and kg will shoot 80% on a turn and shoots againt them. Plus they can't rebound against the worst rebounding team as a result.

 

[Mxrz]

How did KG turn 25 again?

 

[friskykillface]

kome mode for the rest of the game then

 

[Cloudy]

Kobe as a scoring threat will eventually force the double team. Much better than Kobe passing up shots 1 on 1 vs. smaller players

 

[rando14]

How did KG turn 25 again?

by consistently being an excellent player

 

[friskykillface]

lol Kobe

oh god its game 7 flashbacks

 

[The Frankman]

by consistently being an excellent player

... consistently?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Damn pierce

 

[pilonv1]

Lakers losing today makes the last two games melt away

 

[giri]

Yao wasn't injury prone before he came to the US.. the big problem with him was the demands China placed on him basically making him play basketball all year long

No, the big problem was Yao didn't force both parties to work it out and balance his workload.

 

[CB3]

Jamison might be the worst defensive player in NBA history.

 

[Black Mamba]

Just play Howard. Who cares if he fouls out? You're not winning without a center.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

When they need a stop, they can't get one. This blows.

 

[mhi]

Still having problems on defense. The team is constructed to ride DPOY Howard's back on that end and if his not healthy to man the paint then its pretty much a leaking bucket.

Laker's top perimeter defenders (Kobe and Artest) are just to old to stop penetration.

 

[Black Mamba]

The Jordan hill injury was so devastating. They'd be able to get have a re rotation without Dwight or pau.

 

[friskykillface]

haha Kobe for Pierce


Walker > Kobe

 

[rando14]

... consistently?

I can't think of anything terrible off the top of my head

edit: lolakers

 

[Psychological Intellect]

lol lakers

 

[Brinbe]

What a mess

 

[Ninja Scooter]

[DY_nasty]

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

We're getting killed now.
