if you were to come up with an all-worst defensive team, it would have to be:
PG Nash
SG Redd (who gets my vote as worst defender of the bunch)
SF Szczerbiak
PF Gasol
C Stoudemire (worst post defender in the league)
It was a tough loss but expected. Back to back, on the road against a POR team out for revenge for what we did to them the other night. We can't win em all, we gave up a good fight but tonight none of our 3's were falling and they just shot lights out. Good game by the Blazers they played hard and deserved to win.
I hope we play them again when we get Bynum back, payback is a ing and that got Aldridge won't be doing that on Bynum.

You never felt the Lakers were gonna win this one down the stretch. Portland just better tonight.
Denver trailing Clippers, they're self- detonating.
I'm glad we lost....we need some adversity...I love winning but this team needs to learn and have something to learn about. Oh and Pau is not the defensive specialist....tell me something I didn't know.
K. Bryant padded his stats with a layup at the end.
I agree with the other poster - Michael Redd is the worst defender in the league (considering only nonscrubs).
Damn we shot 5/27 from 3pt land. That is pathetic, ing Fisher was a black hole tonight. The only positive I can take away from this game is that we played like utter , they shot lights out, and it was still a close game. With Bynum and Trevor back to shutdown guys like Aldridge and Roy this game is ours. ing Blazers announcers make me sick though.
Portland's just a young team full of promise like they're supposed to be. No surprises there.
I think he's been steady at around 9 per game throughout his career. But don't tell that to Kenny Smith, who calls him a "non-rebounding 7-footer."
I'd take Portland + Oden over LA any day.
Portland gave up too many offensive boards at the end. Did LA shoot anything but threes for the last five minutes?
wow never heard that joke before. you should get paid for your jokes like Rummpd gets paid for his NBA analysis
They just beat a team they were supposed to beat. The Lakers are a fluke. Kobe Bryant is a fluke player who hits fluke clutch shots.
Then you are ing stupid. Portland has a ton of talent but they are still a horrid road team. That's what separates the good teams from the bad.
I'm just recycling the same old tired material I'm supposed to regurgitate. Oh, wait, that would be your shtick, Jeff. No surprises there.
Your still mad that your Mavericks lost to the Sporks aren't you
I'm disappointed, but no, not mad. You have to bring your A+ game if you want to beat the Spurs on their court. Congratulations on your team beating us last night, SpursDynasty.
gasol is charmin soft.
lakers are hoping to become the first coed nba champs. doesn't look like it's going to happen.
When was the last time the Lakers won at the Rose Garden ?
1967 ?![]()

If the Lakers get Bynum back close to 100%, I think Pau only needs to be adequate. There are a lot of great players out in the West so it's not like one player can shut down another great player down. Heck, even Tim Duncan has been lit up quite a few times this season, and look how an undersized back-up Brandon Bass took Timmy to task the other night. It happens. It's the NBA. There's a bunch of great players.
I don't see how Pau "playing out of position" equals to his bad defense.
i can see it in some cir stances, but in this case, playing the 5 should help with his lack of defensive quickness.
