GAME:82 Los Angeles Lakers (34-47) @ Los Angeles Clippers (42-39) - WIN - 35-47

[BEazy]

In about a couple of minutes we are finally done with the freaking Steve Nash trade...

Not yet...draft lottery.

Well I mean we've fulfilled our part of the deal. We don't owe anybody any picks anymore, which completes the trade.

[Fedor]

Good win to end the season. Who knows how our roster is gonna look next season man its gonna be a crazy summer

[BEazy]

Well guys, good season. A lot of ups and downs but pretty good nonetheless. Let's hope PG is in a Lakers uniform next season! RESIGN JULIUS RANDLE!

2nd pick to the Celtics or 10th the Sixers. It's not over till the draft lottery.

Thank god we didn't throw that away.

Hey....take a bow everyone. 35-wins seemed to be the popular consensus at the start of the season. And here we are.

And that came with some significant injuries. We prob coulda done better.

Agree. I was not a Randle guy at the start of the season....but he's earned it.

[Crooked-I]

Season officially over. I enjoyed it, I feel like we could've got to 40 wins if it wasn't for the injuries, but that's part of the game. All in all, I thought it was a good **** season.

Yup, he was easily our best player. Ingram was second.

Yeah....hard to complain. I finally feel like we saw PROGRESS. Our defense, while not earth-shattering, certainly held it's own. Ingram took good steps. Randle really took a step. Ball was up and down, but showed some legit flashes of what he can do. Hart and Kuz were absolute steals. There is alot to be upbeat about.

I think this is the year we will finally get that "star FA" ......but it's also the year we don't desperately need one. I think we're a playoff team next year without a star. With a star (could it be two???) I think we're gonna be a really fun team to watch.

[Leor_77]

I know no one wants to say that Hart has all-star potential, but why not? If he works really hard on his game, he can get better just like any other player.

[Sedale Threatt]

Yup, still a long way to go to be legitimate contenders -- a LOOOONG way -- but we're finally starting to turn the corner.

I don't see anything close to an All-Star, but I do see a legitimate rotation player who can make 3s and will battle on defense. That's a very valuable player in today's NBA.

[Spens1]

35 wins, lets be honest, with Ingram healthy, we'd have won about 40.

Its a start at least, if we get P.G. and remain healthy we should be a playoff team i'd say (provided we retain our other pieces or add someone else whose really good).

I see an "Ariza" type guy. Maybe not quite as good....but why not? Just needs the minutes and the growth.

He's one of those guys where if he's your 8th-9th player in your rotation....MAN do you have a deep team.

I'd be very happy with a shorter Ariza. Every championship team needs a few players like that.

I bumped this up, fun re-read

well if we don't win this game, i'm right on the money and yet i'd still be dissappointed.

I voted 24 wins so I'm not disappointed at all

I said 42 games and we would face GSW LOL

But we did have a 9 game losing streak and lost games we should have won and had quite a few injuries, if it weren't for all that say we went 4-5 in those games and won those winnable games - I would say I'd be pretty darn close

Playoffs next year - that's all it matters

Thank you Lakers for a season beyond expectations !!

Season ball goes to Coach Luke......you made Lakers fans look forward for surely an exciting future !!

Till the start of the summer league Lakers' fans !!

[evilpimp972]

Josh Hart gets in the paint so easily and he's so strong when he finishes that I could see him develop to a really nice player, love the professional !

[Jedi32]

35 wins with the injuries we've had is pretty good imo. Can't wait to see what this team does next year
