The Lakers suck major a@@

[SmellyFeet]

Might as well start this now. Getting blown out by the Queen?

It's gonna get ugly in Christmas, when boston blows LA by 50.

[Reck]

Haha.

Indeed. Still Lakers have some time to make a mini run here but I think Kings got this.

70 wins? yeah right..

[N4th4n]

Bynum is totally unimpressive

[dbreiden83080]

Kobe is only 7/21

[SmellyFeet]

"You know, we learned we have to play D from that Final's series" - Kobe Bryant.

Nice D, lakers. My grandma in a wheel chair would have had better sucess tonight.

And farmar, you dumb bitch, did you make a bet with sasha who can pick the most fouls in 5 minutes? fucken retard.

[N4th4n]

As is the vaunted Lakers bench

[dbreiden83080]

Bynum is totally unimpressive

Bynum is GOD!!! :drunk:drunk

[SmellyFeet]

Hey Allanon, what was that about 70+ wins?

Lakers will be fighting for seeding 2 months from now.

[KidCongo]

One of the hardest back to back games guys, come off it.


edit*

My bad forgot they had rest yesterday.

[N4th4n]

I also like how all the Laker fans had massive hardons about how well Ariza was shooting the three this year. Currently 27.6 %

[Crookshanks]

Might as well start this now. Getting blown out by the Queen?
But this isn't the same King's team - they're really pretty good this year. They've got a lot of young players and I think they've got potential. Beno has been playing great basketball. They can be a fun team to watch - as long as they're not playing against the Spurs!

[dbreiden83080]

Hey Allanon, what was that about 70+ wins?

I told him that was bullshit and to get off that thought. Any team that wins 70 not named the Bulls, with Jordan has to mentally and physically drain themselves for 82 games to hit that mark. Every damn thing has to go right all year, from injuries to chemistry to coaching. It's just practically impossible to do..

[SmellyFeet]

Fuck, watching queens blow past laker defense time after time for easy lay outs. I don;t understand, did you fucks learn anything from last year?

And phil, you smug looking piece of shit, do you even care? you sit there looking like you're watching a fucken opera. get your fat zen ass up and yell at them, make those bitches earn their pay!!!!

[DrHouse]

The Lakers quite frankly will never win a title with defense like this. This year they have too much talent to be this poor defensively. It's the coaching. Until Phil jackson gets serious about defense we will continue to lose like this against certain teams.

That being said, Kings played their heart out tonight and deserved this win. Remember they did lose their last 8 games, I don't think they were too keen on a 9 game losing streak. They always play us well though, doesn't matter who they have playing.

[Reck]

Lakers 17-3

And all three losses were giving by teams that are doing like crap.

[tomtom]

they're without kevin martin today

[Banzai]

I'm a Laker fan....but even I'll admit that the Lakers are not that good...Celtics and Cavs are way better than the Lakers..and I hate to say this but I will admit that by the way the Lakers played tonight..there is NO WAY they will win in Boston on Christmas..Laker fans need to wake the fuck up and stop smoking the ciga-weed.

[SmellyFeet]

Until Phil jackson gets serious about defense .

Does he even care? he just sits with his smug face doing shit nothing. Why the fuck did he not call a time out when the queens were extending the lead into double digits?

[Lakers_55]

Hey, I'll show up and be a man about it.

WE SUCKED MAJOR ASS TONIGHT!!

We need to get our butts spanked like this to make us a better team. So, Lakers, will you heed this wisdom? Play in June, or watch the finals on TV, all up to you....

[Reck]

Does he even care? he just sits with his smug face doing shit nothing. Why the fuck did he not call a time out when the queens were extending the lead into double digits?

Phil is just a figured head. Kobe runs that team from top to bottom. He's probably their own secret coach.

[Pistonfan1]

The Lakers remain to have a shitty D along with no bigman depth is going to be their downfall when it matters in the playoffs. Seriously fans here brag about how deep their bench is yet they fail to see that they dont have any backup bigman. They have great depth at the wings but they have nothing but shit for backup bigman. A great bench is loaded at EVERY position which is something the Lakers dont have.

[YellowFever]

Fisher and Farmar is making Urih look like a combination of CP3 and D-Will.

[bdictjames]

Kings win!

[DrHouse]

Right now there are only two contenders and they are both in the East.

The Cavs and Celtics are WAY ahead of everyone else in the league.

The Lakers quite frankly are pretenders right now. Their 17-3 record is a mirage. They will likely win 60+ games this year with their offense alone, but they have nowhere near the defense needed to win a championship.

It's incredible to me how Phil Jackson just refuses to committ this team to defense. The 40 pt anal rapage from the Celtics didn't send a message apparently.

I'll say this right now with the talent the Lakers have there is simply no reason for them to be this poor defensively.

[Allanon]

Hey Allanon, what was that about 70+ wins?

Not worried, Sacramento is always a hard place for the Lakers to win in.

The Lakers just have to keep winning. They dropped off the pace for 75 wins but at 17-3 and they're still on pace for 70 wins.

[dbreiden83080]

Kobe 9/25 :lol

[monosylab1k]

when boston blows LA

KG's already practicing getting on all fours for that.

[Def Rowe]

I also like how all the Laker fans had massive hardons about how well Ariza was shooting the three this year. Currently 27.6 %

Lakers fans weren't touting Ariza's 3 point shooting. It was his steals and fast break points that we got excited about.

It all starts and end with jackson. With him sitting on the bench, having the same stupid ass expression whether the lakers are winning or losing, you think the players themselfs gonna go for the extra effort and hustle, when he doesnt even get up to yell at them whenever they fuck up? He should have been bitch-slapping farmar after he picked up his second dumb ass foul, or after lamar could not hold to the fucken ball. Shit.

Nope. Just some bad play.

For now, they're still on for 70 wins.

Sacramento has been difficult for the Lakers in Arco arena for years now... I even put it up on my "Killer B2B's" list a couple of days ago as a hard game.

[JamStone]

No more excuses, dude.

The Lakers aren't going to win shit is Fish and Farmar make every scrub guard out there look like Nash.

What's killing us is not Odom right now(although he sure ain't helping us) but our piss poor guard play.
EVERY small scrub guards out there are getting huge numbers against us because fisher keeps insisting on bodying them up 40 feet from the basket instead of givng them space.

Udrih made Fish into a bitch by constantly going around him (I counted at least 12 instances) and either driving all the way to the basket for layups or passing out to an open man when Gasol or Bynum left their man to cover for his ass.

right now what's happeningh is Fisher is killing us on Defense and Farmar is killing us on offense.

We're not going to do shit in the playoffs if this keeps up.

Laugh all you want Laker haters....you sure deserve to tonight.

[dbreiden83080]

95-96 Bulls had 3 losses 9 days from now so it's not too bad.

Lakers are much worse, than that team and everything has to go so perfect for it to happen. You are one Kobe ankle turn away from a .500 month..

[SmellyFeet]

Kobe shooting 30% aint helping either.

[Reck]

Odds are they'll probably lose tomorrow against PHX too.

The Lakers aren't even going to sniff at a 70 win season this year. Or next for that matter.

That's the oddest thing, I expect the Lakers to beat all the good teams and they'll lose a couple to bad teams.

Phoenix tomorrow will get wiped out and Celtics shouldn't even bother showing up for the Christmas Day game cuz they'll lose. I'll sig bet anybody else for the Suns game or the Christmas Day game if you want :)

P.S we wont even be winning the west, with this defense.

[Spur-Addict]

Records disappear in the post season, nil to nil.

[DrHouse]

With the Lakers it's really all about matchups. Record really doesn't matter.

If the opposing team has quick speedy guards and bigs that can shoot from outside they have a pretty good chance of beating us because that combination stretches our D out and forces us to play real team defense which we apparently suck at. If they shoot incredibly well from the field and Kobe shoots like shit that ups their chances exponentially.

I will say this though. I'm very glad we're playing piss poor early on, there is SO much time for improvement if this team really dedicates itself to defense. Mitch pulls off an LO trade at the deadline for a real defensive PG or a defensive SF and we can make serious inroads into fixing this problem.

[LA24]

Records disappear in the post season...

Seedings don't.

No matter what happens the Lakers will still beat the Spurs in the post season though :)

I agree.

Tonight was a game they should've won by at least double figures.
This team has a history of losing against scrub teams and seems like they learned nothing.

This speaks of their mental toughness, I think.

Let's hope they get it together before the playoffs.

Having been critical of the Lakers in my earlier posts, I still think it's a slam dunk that they win the West.

[cobbler]

Well... you have spurs as your team under your avatar so I assumed you were smart enough have that correct. Stupid of me to think you could handle such an trivial task I know.

And as I can see by your language and demeanor, you are one of the Laker fans that most of us real fans get embarassed over. Your like the evil child that we are ashamed to admit is part of the family.
:bang

[YellowFever]

I really hope they lose the next 3 or 4 games.

Then all the talk of 70 wins will have dissapeeared and they will get their heads out of their ass and actually concentrate on basketball rather than the flashy behind the back passes and the suicide steal attemtps and just play solid basketball.

Not sure why everyone has penciled either Boston or our Lakers in the finals anyway. It's a long season and so many things can change in a heartbeat. I have Cleveland beating Boston in the east if both stay healthy.

I don't either. But it would be nice for the Lakers to have home court adv. throughout the entire playoffs...and have game 6 and 7 in LA, should they be in the Finals. Not a necessity, but a nice luxury for sure.

Agree. But then again, you wouldn't want to go through the entire playoffs starting on the road. So getting that top 2-4 seeds has its benefits.

[bostonguy]

No matter what happens the Lakers will still beat the Spurs in the post season though :)

How was your xmas special on fox tonight Dr. House? Im hearing your show is going to fall to shit if you end up in a romantic relationship. I have seen your show on and off and I do like it, but the end is near if we have to see a soft romantic side from the doctor.

[Spur-Addict]

For some teams it does. Not in the actual sense, but some teams can play home or away, some actually play better on the road.

No game is guaranteed in the playoffs, home or away. Regular season win overload can create a self inflated view, as if the Lakers need anymore of that. Real teams win everywhere at any point in time when it counts.

40 point losses on the road in the playoffs is atrocious, especially in the finals. As evidenced by a previous game, things can shoot downhill at home very quickly. Ray Allen walking to the rim is never a good thing. So homecourt although comfortable, it isn't golden. You have to walk through fire to get gold in this league.

[IronMexican]

Is House any good? I've wanted to watch it before, but never have.

Agree. But then again, you wouldn't want to go through the entire playoffs starting on the road. So getting that top 2-4 seeds has its benefits.

It does, but in the end you usually have to win on the road anyways. It's a one game difference, and sometimes that switching of game order is thrown into the mix which just throws all types of issues into the situation. You could be facing elimination as you head home, that's pressure whether you are on the road or not. If you lose one at home early, it could be all over in that scenario.

It's still better to have HCA, but it isn't the end of the world.

[bostonguy]

Is House any good? I've wanted to watch it before, but never have.

It is. I would check out the first 2 seasons if you are that interested.

Agreed. I always find some humor when the sportcasters make a huge thing about in the pregame commentary of a series. They talk about how a team worked so hard all year to gain the home court and how valuable it is... then the visiting team wins game one... and it's... now we have home court and we only had to work hard for 48 mins. :lol

[RedsLakers24]

Yeah we did suck, we make always make point guards look like all stars we need to package lamar and farmar to get us a good point guard or else we are going to get eatin alive by Tony Parker, Rajon Rondo and other good legit PG

[LA24]

I've never seen it... but I bet he could score on our guards! :bang

Dr. House has a bad leg and walks with a limp...so I doubt it.

On second thought, he probably could still score on Fisher/Farmer with that limp of his. :lol

Well, records do give an indication of who has the best chance of winning the Championship. You look at all the teams that won a ring the past 20 years, they've all had the top 3 or 4th best record during the regular season. (exception to Detroit who had the 7th best record when they won, and Houston in '95, but they were the defending champs.)

[Kai]

Guys, the thread title is supposed to be A$$. no "@"s involved! :hat

[Showtime24 LAKERS]

I hope The Lake Show don't talk about their defense tonight, because I don't know how many times they keep talking about stepping up their defense after games like this, but I highly think it will never happen. The Lake Show keep talking about their defense and how it's important, yet they don't do anything worth the garbage defense (if they even have any) that they play. It's all talk and no walk. They talk about it, but don't even do anything about it, or at times seems like they don't even try doing something about it!!

[IronMexican]

Yeah, I am getting tired of them talking to Trevor or Andrew after the game about stepping up their D. Shit seems to happen at every post game, and it's getting annoying.

[TheMadHatter]

It's Phil Jackson. The team is a direct reflection of its coaching staff.

You can't expect them to be committed to defense when Phil doesn't even chastise them for not doing the basics like boxing your man out or running out at a shooter. Phil has been so obsessed with his offense over the years that he has completely missed the boat on defense. We got away with it in the 3-peat years because we had incredible individual defenders (prime Shaq, Kobe, Horry, Rick Fox, etc.).

[Brazil]

The lakers lost a game no big deal. The lakers will finish over 60 W and should keep the #1 seed.
As of today no way the cavaliers are better than the lakers.
1- Celtics
2- Lakers
3- Spurs

[Red Hawk #21]

It's gonna get ugly in Christmas, when boston blows LA by 50.

:lol. On a serious note though I can't believe the Kings won that game

[Purple & Gold]

The Lakers bench other than Ariza has played like shit lately and the defense from our PG's has been atrocious. Odom must go for a PG. I'm sure Dr. Buss and Mitch recognize this and are in the works for one. PG's can get to the basket at will against Fisher and Farmar. No way the opposing PG should look like an all-star every night.

[IronMexican]

Don't even get me started on the D! Did you see after Salmons got the ball and was going up against Odumb, he went baseline without even getting pressured? It was like LO let him get through. Embarrassing.

[Purple & Gold]

I heard it on the radio starting from the 2nd and only caught the 4th quarter on internet. But they looked horrible out there. Defense was horrible and way too many jumpshots and turnovers. They really need to up their game if they want a title. Odom must go for a PG.

[TheMadHatter]

If Odom keeps up this kind of play he has to be traded by the deadline. Josh Powell can do the backup PF job acceptably IMHO. At least he knows how to deliver hard fouls and box out.

This team cannot afford to have two defensive sloths on the floor in Fisher/Radman and expect to win games against all types of teams. We need either a defensive PG or a defensive SF to start the game.

Odom for Hinrich. Get it done Mitch.

I'm a Laker fan....but even I'll admit that the Lakers are not that good...Celtics and Cavs are way better than the Lakers..and I hate to say this but I will admit that by the way the Lakers played tonight..there is NO WAY they will win in Boston on Christmas..Laker fans need to wake the fuck up and stop smoking the ciga-weed.

damn right.. i agree

[Allanon]

Well the Laker bandwagoners are jumping ship already. Lakers have them every year.

The Lakers have lost to bad teams on a regular basis since the Shaq days. I don't care as long as they keep whupping the good teams.

The Christmas Day game? The Celtics will go home crying to their mommy.

No need to start a trash talking thread. This is a game the Kings were pretty much expected to win. I predicted that once the Lakers started playing more road games, they'd lose. And they are. No big surprises. Again, no reason to start a trash talking thread when the Lakers are pretty much going to start losing games now. No one is expecting them to get 70 wins because they're not that good. No one is even expecting them to get 58 wins.

Allanon what did i tell you when you said the Lakers had the best defense in the league?

Not sure but you were probably right (they had it at the time but not no more:))

I think other teams caught on to the Lakers trapping scheme and now the Lakers have to adjust.

[lil_penny]

yea lakers wont win 70 it should be obvious now they have plenty more road games against below .500 teams hahaha... the AARP dream team will probably come out of the west unless the lakers start getting it together.

No they proved the exact opposite.

People look at the lakers and go Gasol? Vujacic? Good defense?

They PROVED at the beginning of the season they could, but i was sure they couldn't keep it up. The Lakers CAN it is just a question of "If they will."

[IronMexican]

Lakers wont win 70. Lakers need to try and win their next game and take it from there.

The best thing that could happen to the Lakers is if they lose the next couple of games. Let the media salivate over BOS and CLE and take LAL out of the front-running. It has gotten to the player's heads and they are coming into games thinking they can just beat teams without any real preparation or effort. It breeds bad habits that can't be corrected late into the season.

Now it's time to get back to the basics. Practice the fundamentals. Practice defense. Forget about the fucking triangle for a while, the Lakers can score 100pts in their sleep. There is still time left to rectify this.

Quite true. Last year at this stage, Lakers had a 12-8 record, and only because we had just won 3 straight. We weren't even expected to get out of the first round, if we even qualified. As the season continues, expect more threads proclaiming our doom when we drop a game.

[nkdlunch]

wow. I am just watching the lakers.

this is the supposed team to beat in the West?????????


they fuckin suck!

[tomtom]

no diaw, no bell, no shaq and they're still taking the lakers. whats going on haha

[Banzai]

[N4th4n]
