I really wanted to win, but if we had to lose I'm glad we lost in this fashion.

Now, Mitch can't say "well, we had the pieces but we just didn't pull it out." ...which is what a close series would have told him.

The FO has to take a long, hard look at our SF situation. We need someone who can play defense and stretch the floor. None of our current SFs can do that with any kind of consistency.

The good news is that our SFs for the most part had average to above average seasons, and I don't think any of them can be considered radioactive.

As for Sasha and Ronny... They pretty much tanked this series, which is good because we'll get them on the cheap come summer.

We need a legit PG - STAT... I don't want to hear about this Farmar's only a two-year player crap because so is rondo and he abused fish and farmar like they were d-leaguers.

But our core is here, Bynum is coming back, and we actually have some players we can trade.

Here's to a kick ass off-season!

radman is trash that the lakers couldn't give away. luke had a horrible season and still has 5 yrs left on his deal. as far as trading them, they are def. radio active.

+1

Also, I think our PG situation is fine... Farmar will continue to get better... Fisher is fine... I dont think Rondo owned anybody in this series... He certainly didnt win it for Boston, he had 2 good games for cryin out loud... We went through Allen Iverson, Deron Williams and Tony Parker for cryin out loud... Our PGs are fine...

But like dcash said, I dont think any of our SFs are goin anywhere.... No one will touch Luke or Rad, hopefully we keep Ariza cuz he may just be the best of the 3 (which aint sayin much).... I hope Radman gets buried deep on the bench next season... he's probably my least favorite Laker

If you guys get Ron Artest...you guys would be pretty solid.

On the bright side, our young guys will grow from this. We got 5+ years to get it down and then some. The Celtics maybe have another year if two to get it again.

Kobe is going to get a lot of the hate, blame, attention and you know how he deals with that. He'll work his butt off thinking so close yet so far. :nod:
