50 wins!

yep 50 wins... need to start tightening the screws soon..playoffs are just around the corner... good win for them tonight, after the last couple losses it was nice to see them buck up in overtime, play some d and take the win....

tonight was a team effort for sure.. and that's what it's going to take to win in the playoffs, just about every laker that played made a positive contribution, mihm only plaed 3 minutes so i won't say too much...

farmar had another rough outing but he didn't force anything tonight and he didn't score...lol
but he did have a steal and 4 assists and played some decent d when he was on the floor...

other than those two every laker played well...

Simply pathetic!

Folks..suck it up. Suck it up for one more game. Then Pau should be back. Bynum also should come and get some minutes, Phil even said he'd be a major contributor in the playoffs. And then also, as a bonus, we may be able to count on Ariza.

Are we the same team we were the last 2 years now? Pretty much. When you count in how much the other teams have improved, yeah, we're the same team at the same level we were the last two years. BUT, only for one more game.

Realistically, it was Bynum and Pau that have changed the complete complexity of this team, they were Godsend, the long awaited post scorers that could also anchor decently at least.
With just one of them...we're lethal. Yet, we're gonna have both in the playoffs.

So, suck it up. If we lose another one...it sucks but worse things could happen.
Bottom line is, we"ll be healthy for the playoffs. We"ll be relatively healthy for the last 5 games of the season and we"ll be able to pace ourselves for the playoffs from then. Still 9 games left. Pau will play 8. Bynum will come back. Perhaps even Ariza. Not having Fish will suck but when we get our post guys back, we"ll be a force to be reckoned with. Don't freak out. Just suck it up for another game. That's all. Things will get dramatically better very soon.

How great kobe is?

For me, personally, his relative greatness stands in judgement RIGHT NOW.

I personally believe that right now is a defining period in his career. This is the first real test in his overall leadership/skills as the unquestioned leader of this team, as there is MUCH at stake (unlike ever before).

With a mere handful of games remaining, playoff seeding is at stake (absolutely critical this year), guys are injured, and even the MVP award is on the line at this very moment. Given the very real opportunity in front of this team, if ever there were a time for a leader to carry his team, now would be that time.

Where and how he carries this team will speak to his place in NBA histor

Just a tought.

No offence but were gonna have to get use to being frustrated for a good while longer.

First off I continue to feel that this won't be the Lakers season. Don't get me wrong I most surely want them to succed, I just surmise that they won't. They are still growing as a team, and while ill be wonderfully happy the deeper they go, I won't be saddened by their failure to win it all.


Also with all the injuries, the Lakers are going to keep fumbling at times. Tomorrow they play Memphis and I wouldn't be surprised if again, it goes down to the wire.

They are missing a big body, and until Gasol or Bynum return, they will continue to look rather shaky.


Yet, once the young guys grow with the experience that only plying time can bring and once the y get and opportunity to cuagulate as a unit, then they will be a force to be wreckoned with. And I feel that will be at the beginning of next season..



For now... I won't worry much, but I will pray immensely that Gasol and Bynum have unprecedentedly good quick recupperations

They did it.

I am pretty happy with the success of the Los Angleles over the Utah Jazz. They proofed me wrong. I was thinking they would never beat the Jazz at their home court with this team. But the Lakers spirit and chemistry was on top and i do not what to say at all. It was beautiful game. If you have missed you should be definitely watching as soon as possible. It was such a great feeling to see them exploding in the first quarter. It has been almost four-five days since the game was played but i was away for while doing some studies!

Lakers at the Jazz!

I am really nervous. The games starts in just minutes! I hope the Lakers win this one. But i do not believe it will happen the Jazz are the best Home court team right now in the NBA. They have only three losses on their ground. I hope this is their forth. But without Pau and Bynum this is not likely to happen.

Fantasy baseball right here!

Nothing's lost!

I was thinking over Lakers season so far. I was mad about the injuries. I tried to keep it out of the way for while. So i focused my thinking on something else. I was watching some college hoops and i was thinking how many good players are there nowadays in the NCAA. I stopped for a while and i realized that i have forgotten something. The Lakers traded their first round pick to the memphis grizzlies combined with Java Crittenton and Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol. Which means that the Lakers will miss all the first rounders this year. It is kinda sad that the Lakers wont be able to get some fresh young gun in the team.

Then i realized another thing when the Lakers traded Kareem Rush to the Charlotte Bobcats they did that deal in exchange of Ronnie Turiaf and 2nd round pick of the Bobcats in 2008. Bobcats' second round pick should be very close to the first rounders! So nothing is lost there is still a chance for the Lakers to make a great steal in the draft.

I can not believe it!

This is like a nightmare for the Lakers! Another player down! The same bloddy way Pau Gasol injured him self as Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza did earlier!! Last two times they landed on teammate Lamar Odom's foot. This time was a little bit different. Pau landed on Vladimir Radmanovich's foot early in the game against the New Orleans Hornets. They lost the game they lost Pau also. I am mad! I am mad! I can not beleive it is happening!! At least Kobe put up some good numbers.

Ira Newble?

There has been a rumor surrounding my favourite team the Lakers. This time it includes Ira Newble an ex-cavalier. It is said that the Lakers might be interested in signing him. He was waived before the 1st of March which means that he is avaible to sign with any club. There is one left spot on the Lakers roster. There are a lot of rumors who could be signed for the last spot. Since Trevor Ariza is might not be back from injury untill the end of season the Lakers might need another defensive player. Trevor Ariza was a big part of the team defence from the bench. The problem is our guards can't play defense right now. About Ira he is a physical defender but on the offensive end of game he really sucks. I think the Lakers should not sign him. I do not think he belongs to this organization and he wont be able to contributed as much as he would be expected.

Just for some good laughs.

I was about some of the ex-Lakers player. Where they are right now and how are they doing. I checked real quick over ESPN for some info about Kwame Brown and Smush Parker i was about to fell off the chair. Are you kidding me? These guys are playing in two of the worst teams ever to play in the NBA and are getting no playing time. WTF? Can you imagine that. Just a year earlier BOTH of them started in a PLAYOFF game for the Lakers. These guys were starters in the playoff now they are at the bottom of the league hoping to get some time in another loss. It is hillarious. I can stand it. It just ridicolou s.

Bynum is on schedule!

Dude, I know what he said, but I think even Bynum misunderstood the question (thus the 'hmmmm' answer. he didn't quite understand). He will be back before April 1. Do I need to go and post every single article that has said this from the past week? There are probably 4 or 5 of them, the latest they put him off schedule is 1 week. If he's walking around the arena with no brace or anything as he was the other day, and running in the pool with no swelling or any ill effects (plus he said he felt like he could run fine right at that moment, but the doctors told him not to) then he is doing very well and back mid-to-late March.

I don't know what to tell you, but I don't give much weight a 20 yr old kid who has admitted to being extremely nervous during TV interviews and to me seemed to be stumbling over his words. I'm going to take the word of the team physicians, coaches and management (plus the medical evidence) and say that he will be back in March. I saw the interview live, and my reaction was definitely not "he's out for 4-6 weeks" - I'm pretty sure he contradicts himself too by saying he'll be back for 15 games or so before the playoffs start.

My money is on March 21, or maybe the 23rd, as those are the first home games after a 5 game road trip which looks like the perfect opportunity to plug him back in. His original timeframe would've put him back March 10 which means he'd have to start practicing this week. The pool running means he's a week away from practicing so that post-roadie looks like the most logical time to work him back into the rotation. He'll probably come off the bench for a few games with limited minutes, and then move into the starting role after his conditioning gets better.

Also, as my final point, I think if it were true that Bynum was going to be out another 4-6 weeks, you'd be reading about it somewhere other than on a message board. That's major news, and no-one printed it, so I think it's safe to say it's probably not

My furstration over D Fish.

Parody ftw. I felt that someone was gonna put this kind of thread up, so I am trying to nip it in the bud, so to speak. As evidenced by the hate threads started in this very forum, Luke and Lamar have been unfairly vilified this season--by their own fans, no less. And now Fisher's been struggling of late, including the stinkbomb he unloaded in tonight's game. I don't know why he's been playing so bad of late (though I suppose it's just the law of averages playing catch-up), but I'd suspect he won't be shooting 27% every game from here on out. So before we all gang up on the guy who came here to take care of his cancer-stricken daughter, let's all just calm down. Breathe in, breathe out.

Oysters!

If you do not like stupid jokes this is the right place. The following post contains no jokes at all. If you are real serious you can read on. Here are the benefits of eating oysters. :)

Yesterday i was having supper. I was having oysters i was looking at them and i wondered for a while. What did the oyster thought to it self before getting cooked or eatten?

The oyster: Damn i should not had gone out of my shell.

It is kind a funny. I was an oyster i would think just the same way. Gulf oysters are very tasty indeed. A lot of people is chasing them like a hot chick on the beach. :D

Should the Lakers get Tyron Lue?

Lakers rosters fine as is, get some guys back from their injuries and we'll be good... my lord we are 13-2 for the month, and first in the west...lol

lets just sit back and enjoy, we got a really good squad of guys, they got some work to do and that's fine.. it's also scarry to think that this team is playing like they are and still have some wrinkles that need to be smoothed....

defense needs work, but that's a team thing and the hardest to consolidate, but with the effort they have shown and a little practice time that will come around...
big problem since they picked up gasol has been the schedule it's been non stop and no real time to put in a few days of solid practice, so it's been on the fly for the most part...

but they will get it, i have faith in mr 9 rings and the staff.. the players work hard and are committed to a solid run through the playoffs
