They ain't that good!

[pauls931]

I'm completely surprised. They have a seriously loaded lineup, especially picking up Artest. Guess they are just being smug like some Spurs fans and thinking they'll turn it on in June.

It's not about 3 games, laziness or a bad stretch. The Lakers offense has had problems since the beginning of the season.

I don't think you've seen enough of LA then. Everyone outside of Kobe is playing not so well. Gasol is decent, but nowhere near the level he can produce.

I guess you could say that's an offensive problem them.

Mavs have never choked. They were screwed in '06 and simply had a weird/bad matchup in '07.

Other than that, they've lost simply because they were the inferior team, not because they've choked... except for '03 when they were the best team in the NBA and got ed by Dirk's injury.

Umm No. The Kings would have defeated them in 6 had Webber not gone down in game 2. As it stands they took them to 7 games. As much as the Kings have choked throughout the (Webber) years more often than not they got the better of the Mavs.

You're reading things I didn't write. You probably need to see medical help.

The Lakers are still one of the best teams in teh NBA; it doesn't mean they don't have flaws.

I'm not talking , I'm talking basketball. Being a fan of this or that team is irrelevant. I generally don't tend my passions to prejudice my judgements, at least when it comes to basketball. I don't hope you to understand that though.

Lakerfan: the offensive problem is the lack of production of their offence and it's 50% about Kobe's decline + unwillingness to adapt his game, 50% about the way the roster is constructed.

speaking of decline, it's sad to see KG like this. he's getting punked left and right nowadays.

aw heck, i think he deserves it though

[nkdlunch]

I don't think there ever was a champion with < 50% vs. good teams. lakers are scratched off the contender list.

[cobbler]

Hmmmmmmm... Let's see:

The big man complaining about touches to the media.
PJ tossing out jabs to certain players in the media.
Kobe acting like it's no big deal and saying all will be fine.
Lakers obviously going through the motions with respect to effort.
Lakers on schedule for a 56-60 win season.
Laker haters and media obsessing on how the Lakers are not the same team that won it all last year.
Laker unfaithful panicking.

.... and the morons saying "They ain't that good".


hmmmmmmm.... sound familiar?
