No that is the entire reason we lost tonight. Put Gasol, Bynum in the game and we win easy.

Take nothing for granted this time of year...
You dont have corruption in this league .....u dont even have Gasol.
This was a poor poor loss. These are the kind of games you cannot afford to lose. We caught the Bobcats on a back-to-back and failed to take advantage. None of the remaining games we have left will be easy until we get our bigs back. We are going to have to scrap for everything from this point onwards.
And don't sleep on the Bobcats, they beat the Celtics twice this year. They are a good team when they are focused.
Okay..But your team without those two is still better than the Bobcats. This just shows you that nothing is automatic in the NBA. Even with Gasol/Bynum you could have still lost.
Bobcats were the better team tonight.
Of course not, but the Bobcats took advantage of our one weakness tonight. They owned us in the paint. Turiaf and Odom could not contain Wallace/Okafor/Nazr. That was the ballgame right there. If we had some sort of interior presence on defense this game would have been easy.
At the end of the day, the Hornets are in great position to claim the #1 seed. They are 2 up in the loss column on the Rockets, Lakers, Spurs. They also currently own the tie-breaker against each of these teams.
As of now the most probable scenario looks like NO at #1, the Lakers & Spurs battling for the 2/3 spots, Utah at #4, Phoenix and Houston battling for 5/6, Dallas, Denver and G-State fighting for the last 2 slots.
If this is the way things pan out, the last Spurs-Lakers game could become very important in deciding home-court.
Not surprised we lost and we will probably even lose some other games we should win before we get healthy. With Gasol and Bynum out our offense is nothing but jumpshots and drives from Kobe and Odom. Kobe also had a terrible game. Until we get back our 7 footers this is not surprising at all.
What happened....I take the night off and go to the Ministry concert and they blow against the bobcats...Too funny. The cats have beat us 4/5 now...oh well. Reload against the Grizz on Friday.
Right now, they are 5 games out of the 8th seed with 11 games to go, so yes, mathematically they are still alive, but it is highly unlikely they will make the playoffs.
No surprises here. Just beating a team we're supposed to beat.
This post is worth the Lakers losing....and you're right, you have beat the Lakers 4/5....just beating a team you're supposed to beat.
Payback for injuring yourself against the Lakers in the pre-season? Off a Luke Walton crossover of all things.
Bobcats have been the Lakers' achilles heal for some time now. I don't know what it is about this team but they always bring out the worst in the Lakers. That's the only sub .500 that "owns" these Lakers.
