I didn't feel like resurrecting last year's thread.

But the first time of the year.

[spurraider21]

even though its in our best interest to see OKC lose, another part of me just wants to see the lakers crash and burn

If the Lakers miss the playoffs and the Spurs win a ring I would probably die of pure enjoyment. It would put an emphatic end to the Kobe - Tim debates

Ehh.......


Duncan : 5


the tired old shit bag Kobe : 5

????????

Considering Tim has the edge in MVP's, Finals MVP's (the way he's playing this season, if we do manage to take it all its likely he'd pick up his 4th), and the Spurs in his time have been much more consistent as far as being contenders, never having missed a playoff birth, etc. The main thing right now people bring up is kobe 5 Duncan 4. If that number gets evened out, and Kobe doesn't go on to win another, it'll be tough to argue when Kobe has played with the likes of prime Shaq, prime Dwight, prime Gasol and doesn't manage to outdo Tim.

Main point i was going on to make is I almost care about the Lakers losing as much as I do the Spurs winning (almost). Plus one of the premises of my last comment was if the Lakers miss the playoffs. I know the Lakers will eventually pick it up, but if Kobe actually manages to miss the playoffs with this roster, it would really be tough to put an argument together when we were making playoffs starting guys like Bonner, Roger Mason, Finley, etc

Kobe has already managed to miss the playoffs with the likes of Prime Odom in his starting lineup, and Chris Mihm wasn't bad either. However, to Kobe's credit, Mihm missed about a third of the season, and Smush Parker and Devean George were the other starters (after Chucky Atkins left).

[spurraider21]

I'm not gna lie... that 2005 lakers team wasn't one to write home about. Mihm, Kwame sharing time, Chucky Atkins starting point guard, and Butler hadn't really broken out yet. Still, I love to poke at that. Not even the 8th seed? :lol

[spurs1990]

Only down 9 points to a really good 11-9 Utah team. Really good chance for LA to win this game.

[spurs1990]

Valiant effort tonight. Cut the Jazz's 15 point lead by more than half during the last 5 minutes.

9-12 overall record
7-6 home
A full game ahead of Portland for the 11th seed in the West.

Next up a four game road trip starting in Cleveland Tuesday.

[Manu-20]

As much fun as it is to see the Lakers losing i'm still in shock how bad they are I knew they were way overhyped coming into the season but never expected them to be this bad.

[davidbowie]

what a bunch of sorry ass losers lol

[Rummpd]

His career winning percentage without Gasol or Shaq is about 0.500 - simply put he is not a leader.

[Toni61]

Ups he is a dam good player but not a Leader

T-Mac with Shaq in prime did also 3 Rings win

[racm]

Barely a .500 record at home and really bad on the road? :lmao

Nah. Let them slide in as a 7 seed late in the year, rekindle all the talk about them making a late run to a title (Nash IS the difference, etc.), and then get swept by Memphis or OKC in the first round. It would be 4 more games of Lakers playoff losing to enjoyably watch. All while Kobe is shooting 25+ shots per game and then blaming his team for not stepping up while he half-asses 3/4ths of the game on defense.

[spurs1990]

I root for only 2 things every NBA season.

In order:
1) Spurs win the NBA Championship
(if 1 does not apply, see 2)
2) Lakers lose in the NBA Finals

Face it its not as entertaining unless LA is still playing.

how could anybody possibly argue something like kobe > duncan if kobe misses the freakin playoffs with dwight, pau, nash, jamison :lol

[therealtruth]

I don't know. I guess you would have to look at the schedules to figure it out. I imagine the Lakers are definitely behind the 8 ball based on their strength of schedule. But how does their schedule compare with teams like the Jazz, TWolves, Blazers, and Nuggets that they will be competing with for spots?

You've obviously never spoken with a Lakers fan... unfortunately I live in LA so I hear it all the time. Down here they think Kobe is the 2nd best player in NBA history

[spurs1990]

P&G only down 15 points at the half to a tough Cavaliers team.

Don't let Cleveland's 4 win, 17 loss record fool you now. They have really good uniforms.

[spurs1990]

Valiant effort tonight. Cut the Cavs' 15 point halftime lead and only lost by a respectful 6 points to the dangerous Kyrie Irving 5-17 Cleveland ballclub.

Record stands at 9-13. Only 4 losses behind Minnesota for the 8th seed.

Has a team ever made two coaching changes in a single season?

[phxspurfan]

D'Antoni leaves after 1 season lol

This keeps up, and with the little tantrum he threw last night, I don't see him lasting to the all-star break.

[spursmartyr]

Has a team ever made two coaching changes in a single season?

You're not allowed to, last time I checked. You can't fire 2 different coaches under contract in a single season; the issue came up in (I believe) 2004 after the summer when Larry Brown was shipped out and at about mid-season they fired Randall Ayers and signed some coach named Chris Ford for the rest of the season and were forced to stick with him.

[TampaDude]

This Lakers team is such a hot mess, even PJ couldn't save them now.

LOVIN' IT!!!!! :lol

[spurs1990]

Lakers only down 5 points to the Charlotte Cats at Staples.

Still have 24 minutes to pull it out, especially with Pau Gasol returning tonight.

[spurs1990]

A team with Nash, Bryant, Artest, Gasol, and Dwight Howard has succumbed to a philly sqaud led by the triple terror of Jrue Holliday, Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner.

At home.

After 3 days off.

To a Philly team on their 5th straight road game.

[Uriel]

What's even better for the Spurs than the Lakers losing is the Clippers doing the same. Like most Spurs fans, I tend not to be too keen on the Lakers (to put it mildly), but I'll certainly be cheering for them when the Battle of LA commences.

A good night for the Spurs: Lakers, Clippers and Knicks lose.

Only way for it to be better would be for the Thunder to lose. Neutral on the Heat, though I don't mind them losing to treadmill teams on the road.

[chapnis]

I'm more scared of a Lakers team with just Kobe than the whole team... does that mean Jordan Hill and Antawn Jamison are they're starting big men?

[spurraider21]

Howard out "at least 1 week" lol. Torn labrum is pretty nasty. I tore my labrum this past summer and doctor said it won't heal without surgery. They could give him a shit ton of cortisone shots and let him play through the pain or its surgery, which would be a few months (possibly the season). A week of rest won't do anything if it truly is a torn labrum.

Lakers also announce Jordan Hill and Pau Gasol won't be making trip to texas for their b2b at houston and san antonio. Lakers big man rotation now consists of rookie center Robert Sacre, Antawn Jamison, and Earl Clark

[Cane]

Hill, Dwight, and Gasol won't be on the Texas road trip. Hill has an injured hip. That means we'll see Clark. Hope the Spurs don't let Kobe hero ball win a game for the Lakers

Word on Dwight's injury is that he's out indefinitely and will be re-examined next week

[spurraider21]

Lakers 14-10 at home, 5-15 on the road. Haven't win a road game since December 22 big comeback against warriors... All they did today was do the spurs a favor. They're still gna miss playoffs or get waxed since they can't win on the road

Fuck this thread. FTL. I won't be happy until they're a 13 seed or worse.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck no. Go Heat!

[spursmartyr]

You guys really want to go to the mad house that is Miami for games 1, 2, 6 and 7 instead of the three middle games where it's unlikely they win all three in a row?

[timtonymanu]

Heat will be tough with or without HCA.

I want to see the Lakers continue to fail, please.

[spursmartyr]

I want to see the Lakers continue to fail, please.

We'll beat them easily in the 1st round if they manage to surpass Utah/Houston (both teams are currently 4 ganes above .500).

Getting to the finals is not a forgone conclusion, nor should it be an assumption.

Miami's home crowd is terrible, anyway. I don't think they have as much of an advantage as the spurs do playing at home. Their advantage over the Spurs is LeBron, not home court.

And frankly, I have much more confidence that the Lakers will fail this season than that the Spurs will succeed. I'd like them to miss the playoffs with that $100 million roster, and I think there's a fair chance of that happening. I think the chance of the Spurs making the finals is much more remote.

The only instance in which I'd ever hope for a Laker victory is if the Spurs would be nudged into the playoffs from the 9 seed position by the Lakers beating an 8 seed in the last game of the season. That will not happen this season, barring an absolute (unprecedented) collapse by the spurs due to a Tony Parker / Tim Duncan season-ending injury or something.

Beyond that, FTL. The more that team flounders, the happier I will be.

[benefactor]

OP is a Lakers troll. Should be pretty evident by now.
