Is it necessary for Raptors fans to make reference about their team in every thread?

No but at some point the Lakers management need to stop being arrogant and make a trade.
Better yet, dont make a trade and miss the playoffs and become the laughing stock of the NBA

The celtics were 8th or 9th and very close to being in the playoffs. The east is way weaker than the West as well. LA's upcoming schedule is no joke.

I don't think they'll make it this year. They just look old--like they can't get up and down the floor. I'm not sure that's a correctable condition. Maybe its just bad defensive communication?

After this 3 game road trip the Jazz have 15 of their next 20 at home. Games can be made up by then, and frankly, I'm not convinced the Lakers have more talent than the Jazz do this year.

Spurs on the back to back (maybe without Nash after touching a ref) and then OKC. Uh oh

The Lakers will not make the playoffs. They really have to seriously look at the All-Star break and realize, is it time to blow it up and tank this season? I mean, WTF? At this point, I'm lost about this team.

I voted yes but I'm really starting to doubt myself. LAL just can't win any game... it's loss after loss. And I like it.

yea pretty sure it goes to PHX
which would be amazing if PHX ends up with the #1 pick (even tho they'd be a year early and miss on wiggins)
