Lakers lost

[Purple & Gold]

Yeah, Phil is just going to all of a sudden insert Bynum into the starting lineups after the first round. Why would he screw with the lineup in the middle of a playoffs, or even in the middle of a series. Are you out of your mind ?

Do you think Phil is stupid enough to run a Gasol/Odom frontcourt out there for longer than he has to? Screwing with a lineup? If you think Phil doesn't change lineups and who he gives major minutes like nobodies business, then you don't really know the Lakers.

Bynum = 4 months layoff !! You're expecting too much. My goodness, he's not even running on a treadmill yet !! And you expect him to be up to speed for playoff intensity ?! What is he, Superman ? Do you even play basketball yourself ?

Have you ever played basketball? Of course I have. I've played enough and had enough injuries to know that the swelling will not go down anytime soon, but that doesn't mean he can't play. No ligament damage and you got him out for half a year? You do realize that May is a long time away? And again what you fail to acknowledge in all of your ramblings is that Bynum doesn't have to be Superman. All he needs to do is shore up our center position and allow Gasol to play PF. You honestly sound like a spur fan masquerading as a Laker fan.

Stop being a blind Laker homer. Take off those glasses for once. You might appreciate how other team plays the game.

Stop sucking the spurs and you might realize that they have their own flaws and ain't all that.

LA24 you sound like the doom and gloom posters over on LG, wouldn't surprise me if you were one of them. Crying like a baby after every loss.

Lamar Odom didn't touch a basketball for 6 ing months and was back to his normal self in about 3 weeks. He has to do FAR more with the ball than Bynum does. How long do you think it will take Bynum to remember how to dunk, rebound, and block shots? And you act like he's been sitting on his ass this entire time, he's been in the gym rehabbing and working on his shot and whatever other basketball skills he can. It's not like he will have regressed THAT far when he gets back.

Stop being a ing pussy.

Funny how a regular season loss to an inferior team makes top news on this forum when it's the lakers that lose.

Bad game by the lakers and they obviously did not take the kings seriously. I see the lakers getting a little too y for their own good. They did not look the least concerned with the kings yesterday, thinking they could turn it on when the want to. Bad Move, we're not there yet. I agree with Med, when he stated maybe the lakers needed to lose a couple of games to get their intensity back. They'll be ready for the good teams but just show up for the bad ones. We have to change that mentality.

Funny how many Laker fans there are in a Spurs forum.

This will be the Laker team they'll face. And we're NOT going to be a full strength this year. Sorry, I don't see it happening. Ariza is not even CLOSE to coming back. Mihm ? He's worthless. Bynum is a huge question mark. Given that he was out 4 month, to expect him to play at playoff level right off the bat is asking too much.


Sorry, next year.

The real test begins when playoffs come around..and the way the Lakers are playing with the lack of defense..they will get chewed in the playoffs if something isn't fixed. Since Bynum and Ariza have been out for quite awhile there is no telling how they will come back physically. So I'll hope the Lakers get far..but if they don't get far in the playoffs then they have work to do.

It's OK we are still most definitely a work in progress. Unlike the other contenders we haven't even come close to hitting our potential as a team together. Kobe has perhaps another 3-5 years of his prime left as do Gasol and Odom. The youngins will just keep getting better and this team will gain valuable playoff experience. I fully expect this squad to dominate the league next year.

the stats said beno shoots 75% and I believe TD is around 69-70%

That's what the Lakers feed said prior to beno's ft's

Let's see:
- you don't seem to be very intelligent if you believe everything you see on TV
- you are lazy, because ploto told you he shoots 85% and you still chose not to check it for yorself
- you are deaf, because the guy said "he is a VERY good free throw shooter" prior to the free throws.
- and you are blind, because I have watched replay of the Lakers feed and it showed this number with the five and the percentage sign:

8
Now how does that number look to you?

This is a classic example of not admiting your mistake online even when everything shows you are wrong...

That's exactly what I've been saying!
