Lakers: Los Angeles at Los Angeles

[Venti Quattro]

Outside Kobe..everyone else sucks tbh.

Spurs may well 3 peat this reg season. However, come playoff time, we'll get our asses handed to by OKC again.

After Week 1, the top 4 teams look like.

1. Heat
2. OKC
3. Spurs
4. Houston

So the Lakers are 0-2, running an offense that so far is highly questionable to say the least and playing without Nash against a top 5 west team and you predicted a Lakers loss? Wow, bold prediction, you're a rebel.

Chris Paul on the pick and roll is devastating.

CP3 was what you'all needed, not Dwight. You'all should've waited for this summer. Isn't CP3 a free agent this summer?

Yeah, but so is Dwight... also, if the Clippers keep playing like this, CP3 has no reason to leave...

Next stop Detroit @ Staples, should give LAL their first W... or not.

was at staples n everybody bein re ed sayin Dwight should been in there when foo had 3 fouls. ain't surprised bout the loss, lakers gotta long way to go

Also, bad take, tbh... CP3/Kobe would have been just as bad as Nash/Kobe... Kobe's game doesn't really work with a dominant point guard because Kobe needs the ball in his hands to be effective...

How long is "long way"? 50 games when they're already barely holding on to playoff contention?

Not really... should i make a "not worried" thread?

It's not even about the bench production. Turnovers are killing LA. 20 TOs is criminal

CN, you honestly think he won't bail on the Clippers? CP3 with the Thunder would be outright scary.

ima say the current problems are 25% attributed to the players not clicking or not trusting eachother enough. they were doin elite ball movement for da first half of blazer game n then stop. The team show flashes of what they can do but then stop

other problems be coaching, no defensive scheme for shooters n in transition and the team relies on Dwight/Kobe too much. that latter is huge as seen from today Dwight foul trouble. I'm hopin Pau gets into form n Nash warms up. So reliable 3rd option is available all times

If we keep mike brown, timeframe around 60 games, .45 win rate

Dave McMenamin‏@mcten Kobe says he scored his 40 "on one foot" and would need the walking boot leaving the arena. Said he feels like his foot is about to fall off

Kobe going to his "playing injured" card early this season.

I'm in so much pain I'm such a warrior I probably need surgery but I'll play through it because that's what I do

Tbh, CP3 practically built this Clipper team since we got all the players he wanted, and he stands to make the most money by re-signing here...

Manu could learn a thing or two from Kobe about that. Oh snap... no he didn't

I called this after the Portland game. Kobe needs to have his publicist say it, it's just not credible coming from him

[ElNono]

Manu knows he has a good team, thus being 2-0

Nothing like pretending to be a warrior and ting the bed in the process
