They're playing so horrible, one HAS to think they're tanking this game on purpose for matchup purposes or something. They can't be this bad, right?

They have no depth whatsoever. Kobe takes too many shots and the D is so so... And they are not tanking to get the Spurs in the 2nd round after the last 2 beatings Spurs handed them..

I was really hoping the Lakers win this one, no matter how much I hate the Lakers so Spurs could get closer to the #1 seed, but it's not looking too hot

If parker regresses to his first LA game form then the Lakers had a solid chance against the Spurs.

Tanking for what? Spurs will beat these fools the way they have been playing as of late. This isn't the shaq/kobe light switch lakers we are talking about.

Nope, they just suck. They might make it to the 2nd round again, but no further.

I agree but the Lakers are playing so bad right now they can't be thinking 2nd round. The may not get there..

I'm sure this would be every Laker poster's justification for the clobbering thunder is handing the Lakers right about now

Why tank when you can just plainly suck?

Lakers aren't taking. They have Mike Brown coaching them. That's the problem. They need a real coach and an injured Kobe.

Kobe with the Melo block.

Spurs could end up pretty good from this, Artest suspended, Harden might miss a few games, 1st seed in the West. All while not playing.

Good, hoping Lakers win to push OKC down a game from getting #1 seed

:lol at this thread and the suckas who partook in it. The "NBA's best" duo: 14/56. The Lakers dug in deep and got the much needed W.

In the process, I'm hoping that Hill replaces Murphy in the big man rotation. He's still a scrub, but he hustles and doesn't seem to be intimidated by Porkins and Iblocka. 14/15/3 from what had been the 5th big in the rotation is flukey, but I'll take his grit and hustle any day.
