I have a really bad feeling about this series. I think that NO came into this game relaxed because they knew everyone expected them to lose.

As if they weren't already playing with house money before the series started, they will be more relaxed game 2, and will push hard to try and take that game, too.

f*cking terrible....now they have all the confidence...and we'll come into game 2 with that non chalante/ i dont care attitude, thinking we'll win because we're the lakers....and end up handing the series to okc......my question is, with us out.....who goes to the wcf.....i mean if we're playing sot against the hornets....then i don't wanna watch what another team will do to us.....

Ughhh...Just heard Landry's interview. To add to what I already stated, I think he said "We played like we had nothing to lose" probably 5 times.

Somehow we must acquire Paul and his floppiness so that the chain will continue as far as flop PGs go in L.A.. Fisher's gotta flopped like he's never flopped before if he expects to beat Paul. Just imagine a team with Paul and Gallo on it...sweet Jesus the headaches that would occur.

Pau has to be more of a presence plain and simple this is going to be an extremely tough series if he doesn't . I like the way Bynum played coming off that knee injury, Artest did well, Kobe did great aside from turning the ball over like every game, Fisher was Fisher, and L.O. was really a non factor today. Good thing we get Blake and Barnes back for game 2, but all we need is for L.O. and Gasol to show up and this can still be a short series.

That's not the answer, further more he's so protected by the refs it's not close to even going down like that. Hell they'll be able to get away with knocking some Lakers on their ass before CP hits the floor.

... Jarret Jack as well. Both of those guys tore us a new one. Our perimeter defense was atrocious, but to their credit, they hit some really nice shots and played with poise. NOH looked like the defending champs, while we looked like chumps. The frustration is going to continue for fans it appears.

lakers have to start forcing the ball out of cp3's hands earlier. i dont really think kobe should guard him either. they should try trapping in the half court more often. jack as well.

if they can start forcing the ball out of their PGs hands earlier in the clock, we can easily win this. just letting paul/jack iso against fisher or whoever is a horrible idea. horrible.

Still did score 100 points so at least the offense isn't dead. That's with a non-existent Pau Gasol too.

Let the PG's score all they want, just don't let anyone else score or leave them. Basically treat them like some teams would treat Kobe

Nice GT KbLo247!

Lakers Need to Bounce Back! An bounce back hard! Send the rest of the league a message that we lost game 1 but it was a fluke and were still the Defending Champs and not Chumps.

Pau, Drew, and L.O need to redeem themselves from the horrible gm1 loss.

Lets Go Lakers!
