Hell no. Just enough wins to have overall HCA. Be it 65-17 or 59-23. Count it. I'm not mad. PJ puts bench players in situations they are not accustomed to. If the other team goes on a run, does he call a time out? Nope. He will let them figure it out. They will be able to draw from this in season experience later on in the playoffs. If that means losing a game here or there so be it. It's a process. PJ has won 11 of these :lobt: for a reason. :wakeup

I'd prefer 4-0 against the Spurs...2 times this year. :lol

I'm talking gay step-child treatment. ya digg

[dunkman]

One of the reasons why the Lakers were undefeated is that they played mostly at home. To play a good team at road is always difficult. 'Melo, Nene and Billups are excellent players.

Kobe took 32 shots to score only 34 points. He must share the ball to make the offense going. He struggles at making others better.

[Giuseppe]

He struggles at making others better.

Artest & Gasol being chronological failures everywhere cept Los Angeles withstanding.

Denver beating us last night obviously didn't quell the roiling in Ez's heart.

[dunkman]

Artest & Gasol being chronological failures everywhere cept Los Angeles withstanding.

Gasol is very successful leading the Spain NT. He was able to lead the Grizzlies to playoffs, which Kobe in his prime failed to do the year the Lakers were without Phil Jax.

Artest had some great seasons, at one point he was the DPOY and all-star, but he's not so talented on offense and he's too volatile. However, when he left Indiana, the Kings and the Rockets those teams became worse.

[Giuseppe]

Gasol never won a playoff game until Bryant took him in.

Artest was run off of every place he'd ever landed and was a menace until Bryant took him in.

[dunkman]

You give too much credit to Kobe. He's a great player, no question about it, but in Phil Jax offense they all get easy shots (except when Kobe hogs the ball), he's also a great teaching defense.

[Giuseppe]

Phil don't get off that easily. He's just like Gasol & Artest/he owes Kobe for his very presence (and j.o.b.) there in Los Angeles. He'd been talkin' out a school, been driftin', been body surfin' with Longley when he got to missin' the girl, missin' the paychecks, missin' the ringage. He came, hat-in-hand, like Daddy had come on that Xmas day to pay homage and ask for grace from Bryant.

Kobe granted on him, as he would later grant on Gasol, Artest.

Just like that.

[dunkman]

Not really.

Kobe got exposed the season Phil Jax was out, he was third team all-nba and even missed the all-defensive team.

He got so humbled that he asked Phil to rejoin the Lakers in 2005, after demanding for him to be thrown out in 2004. Phil was interested to return for the reasons you quote - as long as the Lakers were to grant him an multi year NBA top contract (it was $10M x 3 or 4 years).

Kobe returned to playoffs under Phil, but shortly before the 2007-2008 season, publicly asked to be traded. The Lakers convinced him to stay, who knows what they told him.

Mitch "do it" Kupchak who was previously known for some really shrewd trades, like Butler for Kwame, added Gasol for expiring Kwame, scrubs and a second round project to be good in 3-4 years. At the time, Grizzlies owner said that he thinks his GM didn't call all NBA teams.

Kobe needed Gasol too. Otherwise he was going to quit on the Lakers.

About Artest, the Lakers already won 1 without him. Previously he was typically good for a season or two, but no one knows what will happen next. The Lakers signed Barnes for a reason.

[Giuseppe]

Phil came beggin' for a job and Kobe permitted it. Nothin' wrong with that.

Kobe had already rung 3 times before Gasol came over without a playoff victory to his name in 7 years.

Artest hadn't rung in his entire career before Kobe signed off on his addition.

You got skunked by the Suns.

[nkdlunch]

the lakers peaked too soon.

[Giuseppe]

& if you guys didn't have such a hot shooting rapist in Neal your shit would be weak.

[dunkman]

Phil could have done a lot for LeBron's Cavs or any strong contender. He had options. Not quite the spot light as coaching in LA, but he certainly had choices. There are only few truly good coaches in the NBA, without one, there are no chances to win championships.

When the problems between Shaq and Kobe erupted in 2000, Phil wanted Kobe traded to Phoenix for Marion and Kidd. Shaq meant more for that team than Kobe, Shaq didn't won more MVP's in those years, because he missed a lot of games, but he and Duncan were the NBA best players.

The Spurs didn't lost from the Suns since the 1999-2000 season, when Duncan was injured. The Spurs skunked the Suns many times, Nash was crying when the Suns finally defeated the Spurs. Too bad, because he was probably emotionally empty for the Lakers. Still it was a contested WCF and the Suns already skunked Kobe's Lakers two seasons.

[nkdlunch]

He had options, but, he came back shuckin' & jivein', wantin' his job back. Kobe in his grace made it happen.

Turns out Kobe was the better of the two: he has 5 rings. Daddy & Duncan have only 4 a piece.

Duncan was the Spurs best player for 4 rings. How about Kobe? How many as the best Lakers player and how many riding Shaq's coat tail?

Phil has all of Kobe's 5 rings, plus another 6. He was instrumental for his success. Kobe was turnover prone and rushed shots before Phil arrived to LA, the season Phils was out, Kobe in his prime forced shots and had a low FG%. Played bad defense too.

We get skunked sometimes, but not always.

[Giuseppe]

But, Phil came back askin' for a job, after he called Bryant everything but a white man. Phil sold out. Kobe took mercy on him. Nothin' wrong with that.

The fact remains: Kobe has five rings. Daddy, and your Duncan have only 4 a piece.

[Banzai]

Was likely to happen. When did the Lakers lose last season? First loss? Christmas? I remember they got blown out when they played their first game against Denver?

nope not a rapist sorry again if he did rape a girl he would have not been acquitted of the charges. He had no way of paying off the girl with a college student salary and it wasn't like he was going to be the number 1 pick, so he wasn't famous at all and would not be able to get away with shit like Kobe and OJ and Roethlisberg did.

all he did was ride the train consensually

Hiro, you can chase your asshole round your elbow till the cow jumps over the moon, but, Neal raped, and you know it.

[cobbler]

Not really.

Kobe got exposed the season Phil Jax was out, he was third team all-nba and even missed the all-defensive team..

Yeah it was all Jackson being gone. Losing Fisher, Fox, Grant, Malone, Payton, and Shaq and retaining Cook, George, Medvenko, Rush, and Walton had nothing to do with the decline of the Lakers and Kobe with them.


He got so humbled that he asked Phil to rejoin the Lakers in 2005, after demanding for him to be thrown out in 2004. Phil was interested to return for the reasons you quote - as long as the Lakers were to grant him an multi year NBA top contract (it was $10M x 3 or 4 years)..

He never demanded Phil to be thrown out. Show me the proof of this. THe decision to let Shaq go and the firing of PJ was clearly Dr. Buss's decision and all parties including Shaq and PJ have confirmed this. Nice try.


Kobe returned to playoffs under Phil, but shortly before the 2007-2008 season, publicly asked to be traded. The Lakers convinced him to stay, who knows what they told him..

They told him they would finally do what they promised him 2 years prior. That they would go out and spend some money and surround him with a team that had a chance at winning. Had they attempted to do so prior it would have never got to that stage. Regardless, Kobe handled that completely the wrong way by doing so much in public but none of us knows what was said behind closed doors prior. It all worked out beautifully I might add. :lobt2::lobt2:



Mitch "do it" Kupchak who was previously known for some really shrewd trades, like Butler for Kwame, added Gasol for expiring Kwame, scrubs and a second round project to be good in 3-4 years. At the time, Grizzlies owner said that he thinks his GM didn't call all NBA teams..

Mitch had made some questionable trades as all GM's do. He also picked up some nice talent in the late rounds of the draft as well.

It is well documented that Pau was on the trading block for over a year. The Bulls were in talks with the Grizz that broke down a month prior to the trade. The trade worked out great for both teams and Heisley has gone on record saying so.



Kobe needed Gasol too. Otherwise he was going to quit on the Lakers..

Show me any player who doesnt need an all star power forward and center. And it's nice to know that you can predict what "would have happened". :bang



About Artest, the Lakers already won 1 without him. Previously he was typically good for a season or two, but no one knows what will happen next. The Lakers signed Barnes for a reason.

Ron has been an excellent pick up for us and all the doubts were crushed last season. The Lakers picked up Barnes because they don't rest on their past achievements. It was an upgrade over Morrison and solidified the bench with another aggresive defensive minded SF. It was not to take over Rons job.

Yikes!!!

[ezau]

& if you guys didn't have such a hot shooting rapist in Neal your shit would be weak.

[dunkman]

Yeah it was all Jackson being gone. Losing Fisher, Fox, Grant, Malone, Payton, and Shaq and retaining Cook, George, Medvenko, Rush, and Walton had nothing to do with the decline of the Lakers and Kobe with them.

Remember, Shaq didn't walk away as free agent. The Lakers got Odom, Caron Butler and Brian Grant for him. They signed Divac for the MLE, they got Milhm not sure how, it may be for Payton who either was free agent. Karl Malone was a solid player.

There were some injuries and Kobe threw out Malone for personal reasons. Kobe played sub-standard, his defensive talents got questioned that season.

No one expected the Lakers to make the finals in 2005, but they missed the playoffs. In the lottery, the Lakers picked Bynum.



He never demanded Phil to be thrown out. Show me the proof of this. THe decision to let Shaq go and the firing of PJ was clearly Dr. Buss's decision and all parties including Shaq and PJ have confirmed this. Nice try.


Eventually Jackson, a favorite of O'Neal, was not offered a new contract by the Lakers. Many sports analysts and spectators assumed that this was because of Bryant, who had at times voiced displeasure with Jackson's offensive scheme.[30] O'Neal, who wasn't notified of the move and learned of it by watching television, asked for a trade, making it clear that he felt the Laker organization was making moves designed primarily to placate Bryant.[citation needed] Bryant, meanwhile, was involved in discussions with the Los Angeles Clippers, making it urgent for the Lakers to choose between the two players. Bryant re-signed with the Lakers soon after, and O'Neal's demand was soon indulged, as he was sent to the Miami Heat for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant and a first-round draft pick.[31][32]

It's not only important to win, also how you win. Juventus has most scudettos, but it's now a known fact how.

Lies have short legs. It's a matter of time.

How many scouts the Lakers have? And what talent?


It is well documented that Pau was on the trading block for over a year. The Bulls were in talks with the Grizz that broke down a month prior to the trade. The trade worked out great for both teams and Heisley has gone on record saying so.

The Spurs could offer much more in expiring contracts and talent. I don't follow other teams so closely, but certainly they could have offered something much better than the Lakers offer.

Normally, it would have been impossible for the Lakers to land Gasol without giving up Odom or Bynum. But who knows what happened. The Griz GM probably got some $$$ under the table.



Show me any player who doesnt need an all star power forward and center. And it's nice to know that you can predict what "would have happened". :bang

LeBron made some deep playoffs runs with limited talent. The Cavs also had the best NBA record.

The Spurs won the 2003 championship with Duncan as only all-star.



Ron has been an excellent pick up for us and all the doubts were crushed last season. The Lakers picked up Barnes because they don't rest on their past achievements. It was an upgrade over Morrison and solidified the bench with another aggresive defensive minded SF. It was not to take over Rons job.

?

It's a known fact Artest can't handle the pressure of the NBA. He's probably not a 100% normal person. He had problems with the Bulls, Pacers, Kings and Rockets. It's a matter of time when the things will explode with the Lakers.

Ron already had a backup in Walton, who has considerable salary. Barnes was inexpensive, but the Lakers picked to improve the SF position. The Lakers don't trust much in Walton as backup or/and they want an insurance in case Artest goes crazy.

[Giuseppe]

Cully, what's worse? A rapist like Neal/Kobe or a pedophile like you? Just asking

[HarlemHeat37]

Yeah it was all Jackson being gone. Losing Fisher, Fox, Grant, Malone, Payton, and Shaq and retaining Cook, George, Medvenko, Rush, and Walton had nothing to do with the decline of the Lakers and Kobe with them.

Losing Jackson had a huge part in Kobe's struggles..

What Laker fan likes to ignore is how Rudy Tomjanovich used Kobe in 2005..he actually used him as a point guard/point forward type for most of the time he was there, kind of similar to how Lebron was used in Cleveland, although not to that full extent..

Tomjanovich ran a penetrate and pitch scheme, in which Kobe struggled with..I'll be fair and say that he needed time to adjust and it's understandable that struggled, but it's also interesting that it's the only time that he wasn't under Phil Jackson..

Kobe shot 40% and turned the ball over 4.6 times per game during the Tomjanovich era, where he was asked to play point..



He never demanded Phil to be thrown out. Show me the proof of this. THe decision to let Shaq go and the firing of PJ was clearly Dr. Buss's decision and all parties including Shaq and PJ have confirmed this. Nice try.

Phil Jackson has also confirmed that Kobe's attitude is a big part he left the Lakers..he has said that he no longer wanted to coach him at that time, and he was fed up with his attitude..



They told him they would finally do what they promised him 2 years prior. That they would go out and spend some money and surround him with a team that had a chance at winning. Had they attempted to do so prior it would have never got to that stage. Regardless, Kobe handled that completely the wrong way by doing so much in public but none of us knows what was said behind closed doors prior. It all worked out beautifully I might add. :lobt2::lobt2:

:lol Yes, it worked out beautifully, all because of Kobe's trade demands, where he shit on the entire organization + Andrew Bynum..not because of the shady trade..

The Lakers were #6 in spending money on player salaries for the 2005-2006 season, and they were #3 in the 2006-2007 season:lol..so much for that..

They did plenty to surround him with a good supporting cast..they spent a ton of money..however, Mitch Kupchak was apparently a mediocre GM at the time, and somehow, he orchestrated the Gasol deal and changed his entire reputation + the Lakers franchise..


It is well documented that Pau was on the trading block for over a year. The Bulls were in talks with the Grizz that broke down a month prior to the trade. The trade worked out great for both teams and Heisley has gone on record saying so.

:lol Heisley said that his team made a good trade?..you mean, he didn't admit that it was bad?..shit, what a shocking revelation..



Show me any player who doesnt need an all star power forward and center. And it's nice to know that you can predict what "would have happened". :bang

[Ashy Larry]

was it a bad loss? naw, a little frustrating because through three quarters with Kobe and Pau shooting like batshit, the Lakers were actually up double digits. I said, they'd probably lose this game because they can't play for shit in Denver, Portland and Charlotte during the regular season.

Good to see Shannon Brown step up. They lost this game on the defensive end. You can't score 112 points and lose. Sound defense wins this game; nothing offensive. They scored enough points.
