We're playing awful at home, wouldn't matter anyway. Lakers are just a bad team, it's about time we all accepted that. No defense, no championships.

We're playing awful at home, wouldn't matter anyway. Lakers are just a bad team, it's about time we all accepted that. No defense, no championships.
Of course, but I'm talking about basketball purely. Would never expect them to get above the Giants or 49ers.
No championships? NO CHAMPIONSHIPS?!?!
Would that fix Howard's back, and turn Pau into a decently respectable PF (Boozer)?Sob sob. Unless we fire D'antoni!!
No, but if we could get a coach who can game plan effectively and make better rotations maybe howard can atleast walk by the playoffs.
I didn't understand much of what he said lol

This game showed several of the Lakers flaws.
- Morris starting is DUMB since he can't space the floor. Would make sense to start Meeks if they want Metta off the bench
- Dwight is embarrassingly limited offensively. PnRs and putbacks only. Feeding him in the post is a waste of time and possessions
- Metta inexplicably has a green light to do whatever he wants on offense. This is absurd cos he's not that good and his shot selection is worse
- Pau is a shell of himself and it's getting sad to watch. He should be coming off the bench cos he can't play PF in the NBA anymore
- Nash needs to shoot more. When guys are struggling, he has to break out of the pass-first mentality
- Lakers are playing way too fast for most of the players they have. D'Antoni needs to slow the game down
- Defense is probably the biggest issue but it's not effort or strategy. They just have few guys on this team with the athleticism and speed to lock anyone down

As a 7 or 8 they probably lose. Maybe they can beat the clips cuz they will get discouraged from having no home games.
But if they get those seeds it moe likely means they aren't that good. I still think they can grab a 5 or 6 seed. I know it looks doubtful but I think teams like the warriors and rockets will eventually fall off.
At the end of this month ill know more about this team. If they're playing we'll by then. I'll be optimistic. If not ill acknowledge that whatever the reason it's not working.
I'm realistic but gonna be hopeful for a bit longer. Only 5 games with the main 4.

Went HAM on a friendzoned virgin
You act like he missed the dunk, he just got his shit pushed in. I like the fact that he went hard to the rim though.

Lakers looked way better with Bynum than with Dwight, and I'm sure Pau misses him too. I don't know how last year's team played better with an inefficient Kobe and Steve Blake as the starting PG.
Bynum's raw post moves are still lightyears ahead of Dwight's. He also made his fts and we could go to him late in games

bynum's a blackhole when he's healthy 15% of the time.
dwight is light years a better defensive anchor.
so yeah, i'll take a healthy dwight.
you're insane konex.

He's just trying to destroy Bynum's career.
I just hope Dwight can get healthy soon. /Lakerslogic

5 games with Nash, multiple games without Pau. I'm expecting Dwight to be better in 30 days.
Regarding Bynum, he actually played better D than Dwight is right now. Dwight shows flashes, but a lot of the time he's not the same force. He needs to get healthy. If not, ugh
Also, in Ninja banned? Why?
I'm not saying I prefer Bynum. I'm just pointing out why we won more with him. With Bynum, there's is no way Metta would be our 2nd option in several games lol
Dwight is going to be off and on cos this speedy offense doesn't suit him. People are wondering about his back but I think he's just getting winded cos of the pace.

somebody post the first uncensored trash talk. The lebron south beach recruiting was fucking hilarious. Imonashittyphone
Good to see that Kobe had the same amount of assists as Lebron tonight.
Do you really want to get swept in the first round while playing 4 home games?

It's probably a short ban anyway. It's funny to watch Ninja and Devo tag teaming OP and all 3 got banned.
I honestly have no idea who Devo is (although I read about her all the time) and that story. it's like I suck at pop culture in real life and internet life!
It just goes to show how balls deep I am into this thread/community and the very few others

Was wondering how this thread got so big so fast. Caught up with thread.
Fucking Knicks-age meltdowns. Lakers fans can't compete.
Also would like to point out that the Magic are 10th in their conference and the Lakers are 10th in theirs.
Sucks to suck Dwight.
