it's Phil Jackson's early season coaching- he preaches that it's not that important to beat teams like the Kings
LOL at Lakers unable to beat the Kevin Martin-less Kings![]()

. On a serious note though I can't believe the Kings won that game
The Lakers bench other than Ariza has played like 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.
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.
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 le. Odom must go for a PG.
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.
Hinrich - LOCKING
Kobe - DOWN
Ariza - THE PERIMETER
Pau - AND THE
Bynum - PAINT
damn right.. i agree
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.
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."
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 ing 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.
wow. I am just watching the lakers.
this is the supposed team to beat in the West?????????
they in suck!
no diaw, no bell, no shaq and they're still taking the lakers. whats going on haha
I agree Lakers sucking balls, ..and whatever else they can possibly suck on tonight.
Why phil, why? you are getting paid 10mil a year, you fat bas , how hard is it to tell those ers to play D?
I in hate VUjacic!!!!!!!
he just tried to get T called on Barbosa. thats right! mother in Barbosa, one of the nicest most peaceful players in the NBA!!!!!
YOU VUJACIC!!!!!!
Nice job odom. You had some of the good ol'e marry jane before the game, didn't you?
That, or you just killing your trade value on purpose.
Any one see Vujacic try and bump Lopez after his missed dunk? This did is sad his hard ass shpeal is rather funny.
