and calling lebron an arragont stat padder who gets favorable calls from the refs.
i guess they are just ignoring the brick layer on their team who just went 8-25, declared himself the best 1v1 player ever, and is fourth in the league in FTAs.
at least they finally changed the headline from that Christmas win.

It's Earl Clark's fault!

Seriously though, it's depressing watching this team right now. We were a better and more fun team to watch with Sessions (instead of Nash), and Bynum (instead of Dwight). Guess it's not really about star power but overall team balance. Two stars with a solid supporting cast is a lot better than four stars without a clearly defined role. Back to top
must be a great meltdown on lg, tons of lakerfans cutting themselves in rage, im sure

i just don't get it, i really hate our offense of Nash dribbling in circles. We will never be a great team if we don't give it to Kobe EVERY EVERY possession down the stretch of games, we end up with a stupid falling down layup i don't get it. And once again we go back to kobe only when it's freaking HERO time it gets really old and adds another losss.
I'm sure this guy will be banned by today at LG

I've been wanting to make this post for a while now, but I've been hesitating because of how silly it sounds. I just can't resist now. The evidence, to me at least, is overwhelming.
The NBA is dirty as . I'm not talking about gambling (though it wouldn't surprise me, given what has already been proven), but I genuinely believe that the league office directs officials to "focus" on certain things in order to drive the league agenda. Sure, sometimes the league directives benefit the Lakers, and I certainly don't deny that, but there's no doubt in my mind that the ones this year have been put in place specifically to hurt them.
In this case, I think the Lakers doing essentially what the new CBA was put in place to prevent really angered certain owners to the point where they complained to Stern. He then directed officials to emphasize certain things and de-emphasize others. It's not like he's outright calling for officials to throw games, but they're definitely officiating the Lakers differently. Just from how I've seen Dwight and Nash officiated prior to this season, there's a massive difference. Even Kobe, who I don't believe gets the benefit of the doubt that some other stars do, has had some egregiously poorly officiated games (the GS one comes to mind).
Reporters tweeted that Nash was really heated at the officials today because he was getting hacked and not getting a single call. On the play he was most angry about, he kept the ball on his left side since Lowry was stuck on his right hip. Lowry reached in, THROUGH his body (historically an automatic foul), and smacked him on his arm closer to the elbow than the hand. It was as clear of a foul as you'll ever see, but Nash didn't get it. I couldn't even imagine Nash not getting such a call when he was in Phoenix. However, in LA this year, it has been a regular occurrence.
That double technical on Dwight was even worse. Yeah, they got locked up under the basket. That only happens a half dozen times a game. If they called technicals for getting locked up under the basket, Blake Griffin would average 5 minutes a game. While I feel Dwight wasn't officiated fairly in Orlando either, for some of the same reasons as Shaq, it has gotten even worse in LA. The guy gets called for things that are never called on the guys defending him. He also gets some of the absolute weakest technicals I have ever seen. To get kicked out of the game on something like THAT? Ludicrous.
Now, before people jump down my through, I'm not arguing that officiating is our only problem. Far from it. This team has a lot of problems it needs to address. Unfortunately, it's that much harder to get a rhythm when you're playing 5 on 8 some nights. It all comes down to a pattern that I can't ignore. The Lakers are being punished for all but cir venting the CBA that was meant to bring greater parity to the league. It was why the CP3 trade was vetoed despite Stern's insistence that the league would not interfere with the Hornets GM due to a conflict of interest. They thought they had nipped it in the bud, but Mitch is just that amazing of a GM that he made an even bigger splash the following offseason.

these guys play 0 again 0 team defense on a half court set, they get dusted in transition, and can not play the passing lanes for (bleep). I been saying it the whole season, we might beable to survive with pau but not with metta. The guy stops the ball and can not make quick decisions off the pick and roll hockey passes. go look at our old 09-10 tapes, and watch ariza play the perfect SF role.
Most of you will get on me for saying this, but think about it we have NOTHING to lose. Start ebanks and clark. Yes ebanks, he plays nice defense, is a nice cutter, plays the passing lanes and we get much younger and athletic.
PG.nash
SG.kobe
SF.ebanks
PF.clark
C.dwight
our season is over, next season i hope pau and metta are far away from here.Back to top

It became clear after the CP3 veto. $tern has it in for certain teams. I'm surprised he even let Dallas have that 2011 championship.

They must be some hard trolling there. I cant believe that people can be so delussional. "Not kobe fault" "he should shot more" "mike browns fault" "stern fault" "new cba fault" "scheduling fault" "everyone on roster outside Kobe fault" etc.
what an idiot this guy is seriously

I also find it funny that now Lakers fans are complaining about the CP3 trade when they didn't give a about it this summer after Kupcake's "homerun."
This guy is ing re ed.... he's also the ringleader of the "it's never Kobe's fault" crew and the "Lakers still > Clippers" crew over there...

I will root for underdog teams.
I don't like OKC, Clippers, and Heat. People say we have super team and great players, but OKC/Clippers/Heats also have it. Why do people don't complain about them? Bunch of hypocrite...and this league which manufactures stars in Lebron and Durant make me sick.Back to top
