^ Just as long as it's in the 6-12 range I'm cool...Although I'd prefer 6.
They need to win to give up the 1st round pick to Phoenix.

In what world is Boozer even considered slightly above average? I cringe whenever I see him pull up for that over arched mid range shot from straight away.
at halftime, Houston was up 2.
in the 2nd half, Kobe shot (i you not) 4-17 from the field... and the Lakers won the half by 8 points
I was thinking about this the other night and yes they do have some players there and can get some wins when healthy. They are not the worst team out there by any means. Do I think they will make the playoffs probably not, but they will beat some teams this year and sneak up on you on any given night.

team carrying him
I know if Kobe facilitated the ball more, this team is definitely a 25-30 win team. But the fact we're even debating about winning 30 games for 1 of the 2 greatest franchises in NBA history is ridiculous and a subtle trolling job by mid.
I dont give a if tomorrow Lebron, Dwight, Carmelo, Duncan, etc all come to the Lakers. They will not win with Jim Buss at helm, this guy is a moron. Every single move is worst than the last one, I am hoping Buss family sells the Lakers.
Just a troll...W/L record with a roster filled with bench players at this point does not tarnish Kobe's legacy when he is 36 with a repaired achilles which is a devastating injury that retires players.
Who you fooling mid? Talent wise, they're only slightly better than the 76ers. That's it. I would be very surprised if they end up winning more than 20 games tbh.
It will.

These are the kind of situations that define players, maybe even more than winning a championship. Lebron stepped up in '07 and led a similar ty roster to the NBA Finals. Tim Duncan led an unheralded roster in '03 to the NBA championship. Same with Hakeem in '94.
Now, I'm not asking for miracles. 35ish wins is all Kobe needs with this squad to prove he can lead.
If not, he joins Karl Malone and Dr J. in that 3rd tier of greats.
Lebron, Duncan & Hakeem were in their prime in the years you've mentioned. Kobe's a gloried role player at the moment. Having him as a first option is just dumb on the part of the coach. It's like asking Vince Carter to lead the 2013-14 Mavs team tbh.
Best case scenario for the Lakers is 38-44.
Kobe looked awesome last night and Nick Young has helped but people are getting delusional. They have 3 wins and lots of basketball left to be played, I doubt they make the playoffs in the West despite some signs of promise recently and they are far from being a contender. This team actually reminds me of MJ's Wizards back in 2002, except with Kobe leading.
So no different than his prime?
2000 maybe, but in 2001 & 2002, he was a beta.
The real reason for this bull thread ...
not worst team in league with Swaggy back but still worst. In West and bottom 5 in league.
Lol no they won't 30 wins would be a miracle
Lol Mid the historian defining legacies ...sure your biased Ass carries so much weight ...
Team still sucks
This ... Warriors who are good not great has busted our ass
Horry was the beta of the Shaq/Horry Lakers, tbh.
Unfortunately it's too late for Kobe to change his tune. I've been actually impressed with his play and movement this year compared to the 6 games he played last year. His incessant chucking is the downfall of this team. We all know that the guys need confidence and they'll only get it with Kobe deferring ala the Hawks game. Nick Young is a god send honestly as he doesn't give a F and will shoot his shots and at this point of the career he's more efficient than Kobe. The funny thing at 36 Kobe still demands a double team...just needs to find the confidence in his teammates. Also, from what I see the Lakers don't really run many plays, with High Pick and Rolls being their bread and butter. There is no over exaggeration of winning 2 games in a row, especially in a back to back, but it's a process to learn how to win again.
Kobe has always struggled with shot selection he would be wise to eliminate the fade away jumpers over double teams or the multiple pump fake jumpers he takes and the defender didnt bite. Overall he has played well but when our team is weak he chucks even more bad shots.
That being said I dont want to win more games and the team still sucks ...
They're still easily the worst team in the West imho
