Can we still have the best record in the NBA this season?

[DrewBynum77]

I"m with you 100%. Feel like we could sweep both denver and NO with ease, but feel like Memphis and Portland could actually beat us or at least take us the distance.

By the way we're only 3 GB of the spurs now. If we beat them in the last meeting that means we only need them to lose 2 more times than us the rest of the season to tie them.

sweep denver? Not sure about that.

IMHO we would win in 6. Denver are too good at home for any team to sweep them... Especially now they have PGs that can make the team run and also create as opposed to mr. big chucker...

Mr big chucker as well as mr big shot is the reason that team always gave us trouble. They are a great team, but they acquired a bunch of players that match up terribly against the Lakers and our length.

Not really, no one expected the Spurs players to get hurt and our "old" tired team making this kind of a run, not even the most hopeful optimist fans. Not saying I'm dissapointed with the way things turned out, just saying that no one's looking foolish for being realists.

Actually quite a few posters on this laker board, like DEEPCL, kept saying the spurs were healthy all year and it wasn't going to last, and that they'd fall eventually and the injury bug would have to eventually hit. It's happening exactly as he said, gotta give the man his props for that one.

I don't think anyone expected us to go on a run like this but I think we all knew the spurs dropoff was just a matter of time.

i expected the run! come on u thought we would just stumble around the whole year?

i always have confidence in kobe and the team.

Oh yeah I just thought it would be playoff time, and I expected our run to come playoff time too. Anyways tomorrow is a big test for us. Dallas is the best team in the weak and a win tomorrow and a Spurs loss makes us just as close to the Spurs as we are to the Dallas (I think). Also Chicago won, and while i Don't think their going to be making the finals it would still be nice to have a better record than them. It's funny how we lost 6 out of our last 10 games last season, and still won the west comfortably, even though it feels like we played much worse last season than this season after our hot start.

[Edrees]

I think we did play worse last regular season but fortuntely kobe just made like 7 buzzer beaters and won us games we had no business winning to get us the record we had.

Well I expected improvement but I did not expect 17-1 or whatever we are since the break
