Positive they'll be 15-21 by the end of the week. And I'm willing to bet the Lakers will hit 25 losses before they reach 20 wins.

I'm just about ready to gear up for next season already. This is probably the most overrated, most underperforming Laker team I've ever seen in 20 years based on the talented players on this squad. Such a damn shame and an insult to the fans.


this team is really not as talented as you think it is if youre that disappointed.

Mitch need to get serviceable role players... we can't win sh*t without decent role players.

Interesting fact we are 29th in the league in fast break points and Antoni wants us to play at a up tempo pace. That's just beyond laughable.

before the d12 trade a coworker told me that d12 will be a poison pill for your team. their is this bad aura about this team. I am starting to believe that dwight is a cancer. MDA's system is not going to work with d12 obviously. But he is our coach. We messed up when we didn't sign Adelman over Brown. We all want Dwight to work but he is more concerned about the back of the jersey instead of the front. Let's blow it up and go BIG. trade Dwight and Pau before Allstar break. I HAVE LOST IT!!!! :evil: :evil:

yeah D was horrible although the PPG are complete BS here considering you're talking about the two most uptempo teams in the league since MDA took over the team. We're just bad plain and simple.

It's crazy the Lakers are an uptempo team but 29th in fast break points?????

well we're terrible at creating TOs so it makes sense.

No point blank we messed up when we pink slipped everyone of Phil's assistants before the last playoffs even took place. We then messed up and ignored every player and aphids suggestion of hiring Shaw and keeping the triangle to institute a culture for this team that would extend long beyond Kobe.

We then had another series of **** ups. Trading Lamar because you think he will need psychological help over giving him a sabbatical after seeing someone die, and having a loved one killed, when he's shown in the past when he lost his son all he needed was your support. We did Fisher terribly wrong and without even a courtesy call. We did Phil even worse, despite being the greatest coach in the history of the franchise and league in terms of winning.

There's the fact we said we support Mike and then fire him days later, and then half ass brought Dantoni in without an assistant of his on just his bro as a consultant.

It ain't Kobe, It ain't Mike, It ain't even Jim or Mitch .... It's Jerry and his need to prove he can win better than Phil and those connected to him sans Kobe who is the platinum goose.

Karma filled bitch slap so far

AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A no BS assesment on the Lakers current state of affairs. Guess what peeps, it happens in professional sport, it's a phase called r.e.b.u.i.l.d.i.n.g. The problem with Laker fans generally, is that you have had it too good, for too long. Most of you "fans" probably don't remember the dreary days, after Johnson retired, when you had Van Exel and Peeler as your "star" players. My Rockets have sucked since Olajuwon retired/went to Toronto. Our only bright spot being against you guys in the playoffs.

It was fine until here

Man... I was actually rooting for you guys to win it this year. Really wanted to see Nash and Dwight get their first... Nash looked so depressed in the post game interview. This has to be one of the biggest disappointments in all of sports.

My point is this, STFU Lakers fans. All I have seen here is the "woe is me" attitude, because you forget what it's like to suck. Injuries are no excuse, I've had to hear that repeated to me time and time again during the Yao/Tmac era. We ran you out of the building. We threw you under Royce Whites bus!!!! and all I hear is sooking about your poor widdle Lakers, look at Kobe veritably run from the court after the game. No sportsmanship whatsoever, or did he run to the locker room, get the Buss family on his speeddial, and make some hollow threats to them.

I will admit one thing, we didn't have to make Kobe shoot 40+ shots to win, all we did is make it that you had to play defense, something your team is completely incapable of. I like many others was tricked into thinking the Lakers would probably be contenders again this year, with the addition of Dwight and Nash. What today proved is that if you don't have bench depth, (Lobcity) then you will suck normally, and even worse when star players are injured. Sit on it LA!!!!


"poor widdo lakers" ?

"Sit on it LA!!!!!" ?

Is this guy serious? Did the Rockets just beat us in the WCF? I bet he had tears in his eyes while writing this post.
I guess franchises like Houston's find orgasmic pleasure in beating the purple & gold, what else are they going to look forward to? :lol:

A bright future I'm guessing, unlike the Lakers at the moment.

I have no problem with Die hard fans, realistic die hard fans. I am trying to point out that at some stage, your team will suck. Most people can accept that, Lakers fans, (Like Yankees fans) cannot.

U tried the buy a championship route once, (Payton/Malone) it failed, because your bench sucked. You throw all your eggs in the superstar basket, and guess what happens when that fails, you are left with nothing.

Look at the difference between our respective teams. The Rockets are having fun while playing, are building some serious chemistry, and are rolling. Currently THE HOTTEST team in the NBA right now. Kobe has two faces, the killer look, (happens when you are winning.) And the I am going to kill look, (when losing.) You are seeing the latter face all to often lately.
