We are?

We're on pace for a lotto pick with a young squad with potential for the first time in a long while. Vaughn is about the most annoying bit. In comparison, the Lakers are, what, a $110 million 8th/9th seed with no picks until 2018?

Lot happier than I was this time last year, anyway.

Except all of our big spenders fall off the books after next year and we have about $150 million coming in annually in TV cash to spend on players. But hey, perhaps you will win another finals game in the next decade.

 

[aznpxdd]

Lakers fans talking so much shit.

Gonna be so good when they miss the playoffs and Dwight walks on you guys too.

u mad?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

wade's says fuck a decline

Be careful, injuries say fuck a dwyane

The Lakers have a 1st round pick in 2014.

And everybody off the book except Steve Nash. Everybody.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

He scored 25 of his 39 from the charity strike.

Please define how he beasted, brah.

All his other numbers were around the average.

Yea... Making 25 from the line or almost 20% better than average is beasting. Sorry.

 

[KingKong]

are the Lakers in sole possession of the 8th seed now?

 

[AcridMeat]

wade says fuck a decline

No timmy or kawhi(if that matters much).

How come? And yes it does, Leonard was balling last night.

Assuming we don't re-sign Dwight

 

[paully]

1/2 game away from 7th seed (Houston) and 1/2 game in front of 9th seed (Houston). It's close.

 

[linsivvi]

Assuming we don't re-sign Dwight

I'm still not sold on him. It's Jim's call anyway, so we'll see.

For a day. 6th-9th all have a game tomorrow. A lot will change.

pop left them in San Antonio to rest.

I'll take 65% overall from Dwight when he could have choked.

 

[AcridMeat]

Duncan I can understand, but why a rookie? Whatever.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Relax man.

The Lakers won a game they against a team with 18 wins on the year.

The story isn't that they won--you are making the story that you're woofing over absolutely nothing. Take the W and hope we can get another tomorrow night.

I have nothing against Orlando fans.

I'll take 65% overall from Dwight when he could have choked.

Sure, I'll take it most definitely.

But you don't use the word "beast" to describe making your fucking free throws.

 

[WonkyPanda]

.

I'm interested to see the Jeanie/Jim dynamic. From my understanding, Jeanie controls the books and I can definitely see clashing down the road with contracts and spending.

Lmao @ all the Lakers fans hinting at what they really mean, just come out and say you think Lebron will be a Laker in 2 years.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Lmao @ all the Lakers fans hinting at what they really mean, just come out and say you think Lebron will be a Laker in 2 years.

Naw, he'll be in Cleveland with Lil Kyrie.

He'll be past his prime by then, best to wait for Durant instead

 

[Syphon Filter]

Everyone keeps thinking that, would be cool.

 

[rando14]

dwight shot 39 ft?

 

[Starphoenix]

Spurs, what is wrong with you? You manage to beat the Thunder last night, but you're going to get blown out by Minnesota after scoring only ten points in the second half?

Matt Bonner with 0 points. Why am I not surprised? Love you Red Mamba, but you've lost your venom. Time to pack it up.

 

[AcridMeat]

dwight shot 39 ft?

Did he make any?

 

[paully]

Dwight WAS a beast tonight. If he wasn't fouled so many times, he could have put up some big numbers. Instead he was fouled, and when everyone ridiculed him for his free throw shooting abilities, he proved them wrong.

You may not use it but I do. Also, relax. All we do here is talk shit. If the Lakers lose tomorrow then others will call me out for my performance today and I not only am fine with that I enjoy it. I enjoy the back and forth. I couldnt care less how much crow I may have to eat. Its fun for me. If its not for you then you can continue not getting excited over wins nor get mad after losses. I played that game the last two years and got bored.

What? No, he'll remain a Heat. Riley is not some junk exec like the ones running the Magic and the Cavs.

Some of us have been talking about rebuilding in 2014 for years, and Mitch has been very careful to make sure there will be cap room next summer.

i don't know why a knicks fan like cloving is happy anyway

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Novak wishes he could pass like Mike Miller. He's making Joel Anthony, in garbage time but Joel never looks good.

so yea that's 19 in a row.

What FA in 2014 would fit what you need tho?

 

[Truelize]

Brandon Jennings even playing? 5 shots at the start of the 4th?

 

[linsivvi]

What FA in 2014 would fit what you need tho?

I don't know, it's not like we targeted 2014 specifically for certain players. We do that because that's the year where both Pau and Kobe come off the book, so that's how Mitch planned when he signed other players.

Fair enough.

I'm just glad he made them down the stretch.

I get excited over wins just fine but c'mon bro, you were "sticking it" to a fanbase that has a team going through an obvious re-build. It was hardly about celebrating.

On a night where their departed superstar returned--there was a lot of emotion, man. I just know how heated I was when CP3 left the Lakers, AND HE WAS ONLY THERE A FEW FUCKING HOURS!

I'm just not about that gloating, under these circumstances. <shrugs>

I'm just happy we got a W this time.

We fucking let Nash down in a major fucking way going back in PHX.

^Looking at that list tho, its slim pickings outside of the Heat's players.

What the fuck is wrong with San Antonio?

I will gloat for a win over a team whose fans in this thread for an entire year argued till they were blue in the face that Dwight would never end up in the purple and gold. I don't care if said team had the best record in the league or the worst. Also a team that sent him to the line 40 times which ended up costing them 25 points.

Maybe he can do what Morey did and use the poison pill to get a couple restricted players.

[RellyRell28]

Come on Bucks get back in this game

 

[weekend_warrior]

Dwight had 39 ft attempts?! Was Orlando employing the Hack-a-Howard strategy?

do i really have to post the mitch.jpeg pic?

what mitch wants, mitch gets.

I don't think there's any chance Smart is coaching the Sonics next year.

 

[Starphoenix]

Sadly, I think it's Bonner and Splitter having a bad night. Bonner only has 2 pts the entire game, and he started...

Either that or Pop found a way to rest his players while they are playing.

 

[friskykillface]

Celoltics

Pierce didn't play cause he's getting ready to go to my school for no reason on Thursday


Lakers keep winning so dat la vs la first round is still possible B^) do it Kobe

 

[Rodeo Clown]

It was a team effort. They had a lot of clean looks, but just couldn't convert.

Wolves are hitting everything from the outside, too.

 

[Black Mamba]

John Ireland just called Meeks the best ft shooter on the team

Fuck John Ireland.
