Laker Love Thread

[j.dizzle]

Its pretty crazy what Mitch has done with a team that just went back-2-back.I actually cant wait until the bench comes in now. Last few seasons I would cringe when the starters got their rest because they would always blow leads & play like a bunch of idiots. Now I know that Farmar was the cancer because he never shared the ball, couldnt throw the ball into the post, & didnt know what defense was. If you guys watched the game last night you saw Blake steal the ball & then throw it off the backboard for a Gasol dunk. Well Ear Jordan would of NEVER done that type of , he was the opposite of a team player & I'm extremely happy with the guys we have now. Oh & LO on the bench when Bynum returns, that unit is gonna be showtime.

I'm not buying into this 70 win hype,we won what 65 games in 09 and like i believe like 8 of our 17 losses that year were under 4 points. If this team starts off say 25-2 then I think they may have a chance at 70 wins. But it's a long season,

Nobody winning 70 games, the NBA is too deep for teams to play with that type of intensity for a full season. Ill be happy with 60-65 wins & a well rested team going into the playoffs.

All that really matters is that they're the deepest Laker team we've had in the past 4 years. I could care less about having the most wins or any of that other than the possibility of having HCA throughout the playoffs. Staying healthy, getting better as a unit, and tuning-up for the playoffs are all more important in my opinion. The argument of whom is deeper and all that is a waste of time and effort.

No, but this Laker teams can cure a case of hemorrhoids.

Lakers are playing great basketball, actually at its best since 2001-2002. Odom is definitely an All Star, Gasol is racking up MVP numbers and new acquisitions Steve Blake and Matt Barnes are fitting wonderfully well. Even Shannon Brown is playing like its still his contract year but all this on the month of November?


Now, I'm a huge believer that championship teams should start slow. As a matter of fact last year's Lakers exhibited this at ude. They were pacing, just taking notes and making adjustments in the 1st quarter of the season. Now this years Lakers? No, they are putting 100% of their effort blowing teams out and showing other teams off (Steve Blake to Gasol backboard oop, seriously?) This is really unbecoming of a veteran championship team.



I'm going out on a limb here and say that come May and June, this team will be too tired to outrun a team like Miami and Gasol, Odom and will be too exhausted to bang with the Celtics.

NBA forum = Lakers forum

Don't flatter yourself. They're barely trying

[jacobdrj]

The Heat are very y. Perhaps they are being humbled early. But the Lakers earned their bragging rights last season. I think Pau is growing into the champion role quite nicely. IMHO, it is all about Bynum's health for the Lakers. The Heat lack depth of size. Period. No amount of firepower from the wings will solve that.

deepest team ever...westttaaackkkkedddd

[j.dizzle]

LOL might as well make a Lakers section on this forum IMO. The pistons dont need that hahaha

[lefty]

They do have impressive depth

2 years ago, the bench = Odom

Now it's Odom+Blake+Barnes+Brown+Ratliff



But I will have to with the mid 80` Lakers:

Magic+Kareem+Scott+Worthy+Green
Then Cooper, Rambis, McAdoo

Good , good

Yeah, I don't get that--We should have a section on every team's board. It's just how it should be...

or just change the NBA forum to what it really is - Lakers Obsession Forum

[TheNextGen]

This Spurs fan thinks the Lakers do look good.

[Venti Quattro]

Don't get too greedy. The NBA forum won't be as fun if this was only a Lakers -sucking section

WTF! Get off our bandwagon and jump back on the Heat wagon.

That is obviously the other side of the coin...

However, seeing that no conversation cannot go w/o mentioning the Lakers--it really doesn't make much of a difference.
