How many teams above .500 have the Lakers defeated this season?

same exact talk as last year...

How did that turn out?

Being a champion does not make you a favorite automatically...

They are not just a champion. They have 2 champions in a row.

[Venti Quattro]

I beg to differ. Being a champion does not make you a favorite automatically...

Yeah, and a newly-created super team is

We should just give them the championship right now I guess...could end up like '03 I guess, when you guys had three-peated then lost tbh...


My point is just because a team won the championship, , even a threepeat, does not make you a favorite the following season...


see: '99 Bulls

[TheMACHINE]

i thought Spurs fans didnt care about the regular season

[Venti Quattro]

the 99 bulls are an exception here because their lineup got totally decimated after the last run

[O.J Mayo]

Look at the Laker claiming that the lakers play 41 home games.
Seriously

[Koolaid_Man]

why even play the season? they're gonna win this year, and the next 10 years too i guess...


point is they've only beaten 1 team above .500 ball, and the Laker fans here are talking about the spurs having an easy schedule while the Spurs have beaten 5

so what you really saying is...the Lakers are the 2x champs but that the Spurs have a better record in Nov of 2010....yeah....ok I think I understand clearly...

[Rummpd]

The rub is: by the time it "all balances out" we've feathered our nest and built up such a lead that we're uncatcheable.

Lakers in reality like the Clippers play 39 real road games as that Travel in to the Staples Center and sleeping in your own bed, using your own locker etc has to really be exhausiting regardless how they paint the court.

you ought to be happy there are even worse ty teams than yours for us to beat upon...it gives you a chance to pad your record and your stats...basically it allows Timmy to make something of himself and it allows 0 & Forever to take on a new meaning...

I beg to differ. Being a champion does not make you a favorite automatically...the Celtics are the favorite IMO...if you argue that being a champion makes you the favorite automatically...were the '99 bulls the favorites to win just cause they were champs year before?

Oh please, of course the Lakers are the favorites right now. They have played the games scheduled. They have won in very convincing fashion as evidenced by the fact that they have the largest winning margin in the league. They have done it without their starting center. While I think it is ridiculous for Laker fans to denegrate the Spurs start it is even more ludicrous to rag on the Lakers at this point.
