[HI-FI]

$100,000,000 DLeague team right now...this is boring.

[NRHector]

booooooooooo booooooooooo Lakers suck boooooooooooooooooo

[Technique]

Lmao. I think I'm starting to Like Westbrook, kid's a good troll.

Chimpbrook was pretty hilarious with that, someone should make a gif.

[Technique]

I cringe every time I see Martin shoot. Shawn Marion has a sweeter stroke than this bum.

[Spurs9]

Lmao. I think I'm starting to Like Westbrook, kid's a good troll.

I've started to like him too after this game, pretty hilarious. I respect him for never missing a game too.

[Technique]

Yeah his durability is not always mentioned, but it's extremely impressive considering the athleticism and explosiveness he plays with every game of the season. Rose and Wall both play with similar reliance on their physical attributes and they've both had serious injuries already, Iman Shumpert too.

[Warlord23]

Kobe not even hiding the fact that all he's interested in now is a scoring le ... 8-23 shooting, staying in till the last 5 minutes with the team down 25

[Sean Cagney]

Wow this Laker team is pathetic. I actually feel bad for them.

Never in my life will I feel sorry for that team, they got so many breaks and trades to go their way and they are losing recently after their recent HEIST of Howard....... I will NEVER feel bad for that damn team.

You can't feel bad for a franchise like the Lakers. When they're on top every fair weather fan is letting you know about it. When they're playing below their standards they scheme their way back into contention with a lopsided trade that leaves people wondering what kind of mentally handicapped GM would trade with the Lakers. They did that again this off season, but it hasn't panned out due to several reasons - and that's hilarious.

I'm enjoying every second of this historical collapse.

[Technique]

gotta include the finesse layup too though

if we play my man Earl Clarke we have a good chance.....I'm serious than a mutha er he could be our surprise weapon...

ing idiot

[JRHernandez88]

kobe exposed this season. Duncan still going strong. Consistency. True Leader.

[Arcadian]

...wow...maybe I'm starting to feel a little sorry for the lakers....


......


Nah, the lakers, bunch of es! Wow. How did their franchise go from repeat-champions in 2010 to utter in 2013 - while still being built around the same franchise player? One gets the sense that this sort of thing would never happen with a Duncan-centric team. He makes players around him better, Kobe doesn't, etc.

[Ghazi]

Would be one of the most epic failures in recent memory if the Lakers fail to make the playoffs this year. Don't forget this team was touted as the #1 opposition to the Heat this year.

It's getting to the point where it's definitely not a lock for them to make the playoffs. 7 teams are locked in barring an injury development, Lakers will be battling with the Mavs/Blazers/Wolves/Jazz for the #8 seed.

[Stalin]

great!

[hater]

I learned Dwight went to the lakers late and really didn't read the news articles or posters

In my opinion at the time Lakers just got a bit better to compete but not to beat OKC, Memphis, Clips or even the healthy Spurs. So I'm not surprised at all by this. Lakers did underachieve, but not by historic margins IMO

I knew Dwight was one of the most overhyped players in history. No player that gets bailed out by Turkoglu will get you somewhere

the Laker hype is what is making this bigger than what it is.

[Ice009]

MWP chucks brick after brick, a player that clearly doesn't know his role and limitations. Pringles insists on giving him the green light for some reason.

lol, maybe Mike is scared of him. I wouldn't be surprised if that is why he has a green light.

[Dex]

Well at least the Lakers get the Cavs next....should be a guaranteed win.

Oh wait...

[thunderfan]

No team will ever win with Howard. Seriously the guy is about as re ed, childish, and unprofessional as they get. You can just look at the guy (ie last night sitting on the bench) and he just has this look like he doesn't give a about anything but himself. It's just unreal how someone can waste so much talent. If Howard possessed 25% of the mindset of a guy like Collison he would be off the charts. I'd trade his stupid ass and just start that tatted rookie from Gonzaga.
