they gotta go like 12-4 ta show improvement
id be surprise if it betta than 10-6
I have them at 7-9 in that span at worse... Beating Blazers, Sixers, Nuggets, Cavs & Bucks at home and Raptors and Bulls on the road. The rockets game is tricky to call, so it could easily be 8-8...
The key here is that due to the lost ground, Lakers should really try to beat Spurs/OKC/Clippers to make bigger gains, but its just going to be really tough, IMO.
Every game is winnable except vs Oklahoma City. Of course that depends on the Lakers.
.500ish, 8-8, 9-7, 7-9, etc.
I'm sure Lakers fans are brimming with confidence, thinking they've figured it out after their "big" win against the Knicks (who almost lost to the Love-less Wolves at home), but if I rocked a Kirby jersey, I'd still be concerned with the lack of depth, athleticism, and the fact D'Antoni is inhibiting any sort of bench from developing by playing his top 5 players 40 minutes a game. The Lakers' top 5 can't play much better than they did in today's game, combining for 97 points on over 50% shooting, and they barely escaped with a win against a team with similar depth issues.
Once Artest cools off (and he will) and Nash wears down (and he will), expect the Lakers to hit another rough patch.
I have us going 15-1...we'll lose that Grizzles game...now that we're back to .500 with Nash back, (even though Dwight is not 100%) and Pau back our season officially begins with the next game...I'm pretty optimistic...I think we can pull this off..look for a whirlwind of fun and exciting ball coming right up...
7-9 sounds good. How many times have Pringles and Nash beaten the Spurs again?
You're improving. This deluded homer shtick you got going right now is much better (and more irritating) than what you had previously.
midget....you think you're slick....you changed you avatar to deflect from your horrible and atrocious physical appearance. now you're attempting to post random pics of guys...perhaps these are your former lovers but what we do know is that 1.) you're a very unattractive tranny looking male with man s and 2.) you have real bad taste in men....![]()
One thing that encourages me is that I'm almost just a confident with Nash shooting the last shot as I am with Kobe taking it....Nash in just 2 games has shown he will take and make the last shot...that guy is very efficient...it's like driving a Maybach with Nash...he can't really stop anyone but no one can stop him either...he will force the refs to make a call..the guy's IQ is off the charts
Instead of only looking at the next 16 opponents lets take a closer look at what the PG match-up will be....
@Nuggets - Nash > Ty Lawson
Blazers - Nash > D. Lilliard
Sixers - Nash > Jrue Holiday
@Clippers - Nash = CP3
Nuggets - Nash > Ty Lawson
@ Rockets - Nash > Jeremy Lin
@ Spurs - Nash = T. Parker
Thunder - Nash = Westbrook
Cavs - Nash = Kyrie Irving
Bucks - Nash > Monta Ellis
Heat - Nash > M . Chalmers
@Raptors - Nash > Calderon
@ Bulls - Nash > M. Teague
@Grizzlies - Nash > Mike Conley
Jazz - Nash > Mo Williams
Thunder - Nash = Westbrook
What does this help you if he can't guard and if Kobe makes 41 shots![]()
If Kobe makes 41 shots, I'll bet you $500 that the Lakers win.![]()
For that, he would have to TAKE at least 119 shots.
We know at least one of those losses already (lol spurs)
Are you re ed...probably every one of those PGs is going for a career high when they face Nash except for Calderon and maybe Chalmers. Nash can't keep up with any of those PGs and will get lit up on the defensive end, just watch
Like Fat Felton did? I guess 5/19 FGAs was impressive v. Nash.![]()
Nash isn't as fast as opposing guards...we get it.... but Nash (a former 2-time MVP) is literally the great equalizer. He's smarter than every one of those PG's listed. CP3 comes closest but he's still not as savvy and smart as Nash. Nash will get beat to the basket and he will get beat off the dribble more often than not..but what he will do is slow and/or control the tempo. For once in Kobe's career the opposing PG's now have to play defense against a PG who can think the game better than most can play it. It was vintage Nash from start to finish. He brought a semblance of calm and control to the Lakers in crunch time...There were pick-and-rolls with Dwight and Kobe, pick-and-pops with Pau, crisp passes to the role players and timely jumpers of his own sprinkled throughout. Nash ran the half-court offense to a tee and made basketball easy and fun for everyone.
Look at Nash's output in his last two games back since being out for 2 months....
totals = 28 pts ; 20 assists 9 rbs, 2 stls with only 6 TO's...
but you can see the progression...he was played more minutes in his 1st game back and yet was more productive in his 2nd game...Jarret Jack scored 29 on Nash but Nash hit the key shots without hesitation to put Golden State away....same thing against NY....
1st game back - 12 points, 9 assists 3 rbs 2 steals
2nd game back -16 points, 11 assists and 6 rbs
Felton sucks
can't believe how delusional can laker fans get..
