Ups he is a dam good player but not a Leader
T-Mac with Shaq in prime did also 3 Rings win
His career winning percentage without Gasol or Shaq is about 0.500 - simply put he is not a leader.

Barely a .500 record at home and really bad on the road?![]()
Nah. Let them slide in as a 7 seed late in the year, rekindle all the talk about them making a late run to a le (Nash IS the difference, etc.), and then get swept by Memphis or OKC in the first round. It would be 4 more games of Lakers playoff losing to enjoyably watch. All while Kobe is shooting 25+ shots per game and then blaming his team for not stepping up while he half-asses 3/4ths of the game on defense.
I root for only 2 things every NBA season.
In order:
1) Spurs win the NBA Championship
(if 1 does not apply, see 2)
2) Lakers lose in the NBA Finals
Face it its not as entertaining unless LA is still playing.
how could anybody possibly argue something like kobe > duncan if kobe misses the freakin playoffs with dwight, pau, nash, jamison![]()
I don't know. I guess you would have to look at the schedules to figure it out. I imagine the Lakers are definitely behind the 8 ball based on their strength of schedule. But how does their schedule compare with teams like the Jazz, TWolves, Blazers, and Nuggets that they will be competing with for spots?
How there is a debate...beyond me Duncan most dominant player of his generation Period.
You've obviously never spoken with a Lakers fan... unfortunately I live in LA so I hear it all the time. Down here they think Kobe is the 2nd best player in NBA history
P&G only down 15 points at the half to a tough Cavaliers team.
Don't let Cleveland's 4 win, 17 loss record fool you now. They have really good uniforms.
Valiant effort tonight. Cut the Cavs' 15 point halftime lead and only lost by a respectful 6 points to the dangerous Kyrie Irving 5-17 Cleveland ballclub.
Record stands at 9-13. Only 4 losses behind Minnesota for the 8th seed.
Next up New York on Thursday on TNT. Tune in.
Lakers lose to the 4-17 Cavs...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA!!!!!

Cavs are better than their record.
Cavs are better than the Lakers, too, it seems.![]()
Dwight Howard is officially the king of the box score. Numbers with no impact.
It seems like nobody has a positive impact on LAL team now.
Has a team ever made two coaching changes in a single season?
D'Antoni leaves after 1 season lol
This keeps up, and with the little tantrum he threw last night, I don't see him lasting to the all-star break.
You're not allowed to, last time I checked. You can't fire 2 different coaches under contract in a single season; the issue came up in (I believe) 2004 after the summer when Larry Brown was shipped out and at about mid-season they fired Randall Ayers and signed some coach named Chris Ford for the rest of the season and were forced to stick with him.
This Lakers team is such a hot mess, even PJ couldn't save them now.
LOVIN' IT!!!!!![]()
Lakers only down 5 points to the Charlotte Cats at Staples.
Still have 24 minutes to pull it out, especially with Pau Gasol returning tonight.
A team with Nash, Bryant, Artest, Gasol, and Dwight Howard has suc bed to a philly sqaud led by the triple terror of Jrue Holliday, Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner.
At home.
After 3 days off.
To a Philly team on their 5th straight road game.
15-16 overall record
Only 2 games out of the 8th seed
Clippers next on Friday
![]()
Clips are going to be pissed after their losing streak ended TBH. Gonna be a crazy game.
A good night for the Spurs: Lakers, Clippers and Knicks lose.
