Picking the Lakers to win the West was probably the worst prediction and statement I've ever made in this thread, but at least most people had something similar before the year started.

And this is a time where it feels alright to be wrong...

[Black Mamba]

Lakers score 105 and lose

Kobe didnt shoot enough!

 

[Forceatowulf]

I can't believe I bought league pass to watch this shit. It's like paying someone to punch you in the balls.

7 minute+ scoring drought with Kobe/Nash/Pau/Howard on your team. At home.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Kobe needs to shoot 40 times

Don't make yourself look even worse.

 

[Fenderputty]

We're gonna be so fucked after this upcoming part of the schedule.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Are these Lakers fucks on TWC blaming Dwight for how he blocks shots? christ

 

[SoulPlaya]

Where's Bickerstaff? Why isn't he couching?

 

[Red Blaster]

Lakers could easily be 17-24 after the next 8 games

People need to calm the fck down.

Hahaha Kobe follows Alex Morgan and Serena Williams.

DAT diversity

We have no defense. Why not unleash our only hope of winning from the get go?

 

[Black Mamba]

Fuck that shit. Nash's defense killed us in the end. Don't blame Duhon

They were down like 8 when he came in dude. Game was lost to end the 1st a d 3rd. Both times it went from a tie to deficit.

That was despite the 17 turnovers the starters had. Which is also why they lost.

Every turnover is a 3 point switch for the lakers if not more. 18 in a game is too much. At 12 they still play poor d but they win.

BAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAH HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS GEM???

 

[Kave_Man]

Are the Lakers going to make the playoffs?

 

[Dominican Power]

Houston, San Antonio and Oklahoma City? Sorry Lakers fans...

Nuggets, Rockets, Spurs, Thunderx2, Heat, Bulls, Grizzlies, Jazz, Bucks, Raptors, Hornets, Cavs.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

If the all-star game started today, 40% of the starters would be from below .500 teams, lol

 

[Cloudy]

I think that's generous actually

Kemba or Rondo

Vindicate me

Yeah for the last few years I've thought about getting league pass and this year I ended up buying it with the reasoning that it would be worth it to watch kobe/nash/dwight/pau every game. I was so, so wrong. Wasted money.

Josh Smith top 10 player in the league.

We'll never forget that.

 

[aznpxdd]

Damn, this shit is depressing.

 

[KingGondo]

Are the Lakers going to make the playoffs?

It'll be an uphill climb.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Are the Lakers going to make the playoffs?

Nope. They'll finish 9th-10th in the west tops.

 

[Red Blaster]

It'll be an uphill climb.

31-18 the rest of the way just to get to 46 wins which is the average for the 8th seed in the west

 

[Kave_Man]

It'll be an uphill climb.

I don't want to live in a world where the Raptors might have a better chance at the playoffs then the Lakers.

 

[Cloudy]

Even the Kwame-Smush team didn't start 15-18 lol

 

[linsivvi]

Even the Kwame-Smush team didn't start 15-18 lol

Kwame played better defense than Dwight.

 

[KidA Seven]

Even the Kwame-Smush team didn't start 15-18 lol

Those teams had a couple of injuries as well.

 

[KingGondo]

Yeah, that's not happening without a big trade.

Liar!

Josh Smith top 10 player in the league.

No, the Lakers prediction is far worse since the Lakers are legitimately bad while Smoove is still awesome even if people can argue that he's closer to 20th than top 10.

 

[Vire]

They didn't lie.

It has been incredibly fun!

 

[Syphon Filter]

They didn't lie.

Didn't you say lakers will still make the finals ? or was it pimp?

 

[linsivvi]

He's not even top 30 and nobody in the world but Josh Smith and you would put him in the top 10.

Many people actually thought the Lakers could win the West so even though you were wrong, you were not alone.

Anyway, why don't we talk about some other team, like the real defending champion???

I always liked to think you don't want to build your franchise on hope.

Maybe Cuban has something up his sleeve. Maybe you have to take a chance on a bad contract to get him in here and make something happen. I mean, I don't know. That's something we'll have to see this summer. We're going to play out this season. I'm going to get better and better, hopefully from game to game, so I can actually close out some of these games. And then we'll see what happens.

dirk for love

 

[devilhawk]

MRI for Dwight.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I have fond memories of Lakers Age woofing this Fall. Some choice quote.

Dwights biggest contribution offensively is that he's going to put teams in the penalty 24/7. This was always the case in Orlando but it didn't matter because J-Rich, Meer, etc weren't going to draw touch fouls.

Imagine defending a Dwight/Nash PNR all day with your team in the penalty and Kobe getting cheese touch fouls to instantly get to the line. Its going to be a fucking nightmare defending that team.

Is there any starting 5 in in the league that can match up with that? It's going to be downright unfair with the way the the offense should work. So many freaking options and all 4 guys command double teams. If World Peace can play as well as he did in the latter half the season then it's going to be be that much more of a nightmare.

We have a 1-5 prototypical lineup that likely no team can match.

Too much of that Cali herb, I think. LOL! PEACE.

 

[jobber]

Howard better not show up in San Antonio.

Pop will foul him the entire game

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Pretty sure Faze doesn't live in California.

I'm predicting 16-21 after Uncle Drew leaves town. There're a whole lot of L's incoming. Hopefully they can beat the Knicks. PEACE.

Y'all can just call me Pimpstrodamus. PEACE.

FLAWLESS VICTORY

 

[Black Mamba]

So Howard getting an MRI on the shoulder tomorrow? even better news!

I wonder who the Lakers end up trading Pau for. Any teams have a bunch of slightly above average bench players and a dumb GM?

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Damn son but to be fair everyone picked the Lakers to be #1 in the West before the season started

I've desperately wanted to lean to Kemba in this answer, but I can't trust him enough to troll Rondo with Kemba's abilities yet
