10/30 Mavericks @ Lakers 9:30pm CT (7:30 Pacific)

While happy that you guys didn't come out of the gates strong (as well as the Cavs), I'm pretty sure that you'll still represent the West in June. Maybe some of your players need to come back down to earth, until the cohesiveness and swagger starts clicking again.

Very fair but you know that means we will be rooting for someone to take you guys down in the immediate future.

Tough loss against the Mavs. Didn't see much effort and to lose that way at home isnt fun. It's early and Gasol was out so big deal. It's a long NBA season plus the Mavs always play you guys tough. For all those people saying 72+ wins...don't think that's happening. Any time on any give night a team can come up big. I feel for the Hawks though. They are going to get the full wrath. Hawks are a good team so its going to be a good test to see how LA bounces back.

Well if Reggie Miller was right Sunday will start our 19 game winning streak.

not accepting it until I know for sure you said Calm Blue Ocean!

Calm Blue Ocean ! Calm Blue Ocean ! Calm Blue Ocean ! Calm Blue Ocean ! Calm Blue Ocean !

Man, what a night !

Lol

This L will make them continue to work hard in practice, and thats a good thing.

Funny how all these posters come here to revel on this loss. All damn summer no sign of no visitors coming here but let the Lakers lose and here they come.............so predictable.

I'm serving notice now, when it comes back around to your team..................expect to see me dumping strong on your boards. Believe that.

[picc]

I'd do just about anything for Kirk Hinrich at this point.

*looks at Jerry Reinsdorf seductively*

Anything....

Yup ! It's good we have Phil too, because he knows what to do in such cases.

Funny cause we dont go over to mavs board after wins against them....cause who gives a ****?

[TonyMontana]

Waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit what did I miss here........... Is it a trollfest up in here or what??
Anyhow guys even though I got sick to my stomach watching this game and I promised myself I wouldnt post today I just couldnt resist.

Anyhow
Props on the Mavs they played their hearts out, and they are a very good team we should ne concerned about. Am I worried ............... HELLLLLLL UCK NO.
We played like crap and the better team won. Did the reffs screw us........ ehhhhhh a few B.S calls but we cant blame them.
We need to blame our team. Farmar seriously UCKED up, Sasha well we all know Sasha isnt going to lose his P.T to Shannon. We didnt run the triangle for ish. Everybody was lost, Kobe forced way too many shots. We didnt settle in our comfort zone from the get go and since they came out blazing from the start. Bynum did decent till he got jacked up with a couple of calls.

I seriously think we need to start Shannon and roll with Shannon as our starting P.G kids got heart and he's got game. We were missing Pau but again thats not an excuse but hey how about we calm down and take one game at a time and lets hope for the best.

By the way SKIP Mark Cuban piece of ish. My boy was at the game and he said the piece of ish kept running his mouth looking over to the Lakers bench and yelling "Not this year buddy, not this year" "This is our year" So it got to a point where people were ripping him on his comments telling him to STFU and sit down. It got to a point where they had to add two more security to both control him and prevent a fan from uckin him up. Cant wait to see this team again.

Anyhow Im off to San Diego for a Halloween ball, Ill pop a bottle for all my Laker bro's.
Be safe and FTW and FTC.

Anything....

OK I gotta ask.......rather reluctently, picc are you female?

I just saying......you know going with the comment you made.

[b shaw20]

fisher and farmar suck, that's a given.

but if we don't realize that the way we will punish teams is by dominating the paint. Our advantage is our length and skills to go along with it.

what we are not is a good perimeter shooting team and anytime you have odom and Kobe settling for outside shots, we are asking for trouble.

to kobe's credit, he did adjust but when we were in catch up mode and some bunnies just didn't fall. but overall he and the rest of perimeter players were worthless.

Phil must play Shannon more minutes, dfish is weak and is undeniable.

[semi-sentient]

Ugly game. Just finished watching it. Fouls killed us last night. Bynum and Artest getting into early foul trouble ensured that we never got any kind of rhythm and we ended up playing catch up starting from midway through the second. Way too many 3-pointers as well.

Is there a "Worst Finisher of the Year" award? If so Kobe has to be the front-runner so far. He's missed at least 10 easy shots right around the basket where he beat the defender in the first 2 games.

[lakersdynasty]

farmar dont wanna play the triangle, hes too stupid for that, we could trade his contratc for something else, shannom got to play more and odom just proving he can´t be a starter, too dumb, trying to drible dirk all the time, what was that?? that was a good loss anyway to show this team that last season has ended and they got enter in games more motivated..
but something is telling me this team will strugle and cruise all season untill the playoffs come..

[AceFresh]

This game'll drive them for a few games, then the lackadaisical effort and poor execution will show against some mediocre team.

'same ole Lakers



Love to hate!!!
Get em on Sun!

[The Laker Kid]

dude... it's only Game 2.

[numbas]

basically the lakers just didnt show up to play or take this game serious

and co sign the fact that shannon brown should start taking significant minutes from sasha and farmar off the bench
