Don't let the 22-5 record deceive you, the Lakers are still the best team in the NBA.
Today the Hornets, the Celtics on Christmas.

I'm sorry, when were they declared the best team in the league?
Allanon is back to being homer 70 wins allanon. all it took was the lakers barely beating the grizz.
70 wins, biatch???
70 wins is still possible, but I'm no longer touting it.
But, I have no doubt the Lakers will win today against the Hornets.
Spur-Addict, the Lakers were the early favorites this year, according to the experts. Everybody has basically jumped off the bandwagon now after their recent losses. It's all about Boston, Cavs, Hornets, Rockets, Magic and Spurs in the media right now.
I think the Christmas Day game will show the Lakers will still roll the good teams and the "experts" will start sucking the Lakers again.
Where's BRHornet?
The Lakers collapse continues tonight and Thursday with Boston.
Another win for the lakeshow.
Watching his wife bang another man since he is a Grade-A cuckold. No surprises here.
Your experts not mine. Analysts are like weathermen, they only do a good job at reporting what they see. Not many can make accurate predictions, especially based on the reasons they give.
Do not say this often Allanon, but GO Lakeshow, Mamba shows CPthrisle what it do.

Lakers-Hornets Preview
The New Orleans Hornets have been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA this season. On Tuesday night, they'll get a good barometer of how good they really are when they host the league's top scoring team - the Los Angeles Lakers.
New Orleans (16-7) is seeking its season-high fifth straight win following a 99-90 home victory over Sacramento on Saturday. Chris Paul, the Western Conference player of the week, scored a season-best 34 points with nine assists and eight steals, also a season high. He has at least one steal in an NBA-record 107 consecutive games.
The Hornets had 11 steals in all, and scored 25 points off 18 Sacramento turnovers.
"We were smothering the ball screens,'' said Paul, who had 30 points and 13 assists in a 93-86 home loss to the Lakers on Nov. 12.
The Hornets have not allowed more than 94 points in any of their last eight games, improving their average points allowed for the season to 91.5 - third-fewest in the NBA. The Lakers, meanwhile, are scoring a league-best 107.3 points per game.
"All the talk is about the Lakers, Celtics and Cleveland, and rightfully so,'' said New Orleans coach Byron Scott, whose team has won 11 of its last 13 games. "We are getting better and better each month, and that's the important thing."
James Posey definitely has been improving, averaging 15.5 points - well above his 9.9 season average - and shooting 68.8 percent from the field during the Hornets' four-game winning streak. He missed Monday's practice with a slight calf sprain, but is expected to play on Tuesday.
Peja Stojakovic has missed the last two games with back spasms, but could return after going through a limited practice on Monday.
While the Hornets go for their seventh straight win at New Orleans Arena, Los Angeles (22-5) will try for back-to-back wins to conclude its four-game road trip. The Lakers avoided a third straight loss Monday, defeating Memphis 105-96. Kobe Bryant scored 10 of his 36 points in the final 3:08 as Los Angeles erased a 93-88 deficit.
"We know what we want to do,'' said Bryant, averaging 38.5 points and shooting 51.9 percent in his last two games. "For a young team, they are still kind of searching for what that iden y is going to be. For us, we've been there, done that. So, it's just a matter of how well we executed."
Bryant missed 10 of 15 shots and scored just 20 points against the Hornets in November, but hit a critical 3-pointer with 1:08 remaining to stop a 17-4 New Orleans run.
Third-year guard Jordan Farmar won't be available off the Los Angeles bench for awhile. Farmar tore his lateral meniscus in last Friday's 89-87 loss to Miami and may need surgery.
"We're not happy about it, obviously, but this is what we go through in an NBA season,'' Lakers coach Phil Jackson said

Lakers lose this game plus the Celtics game and Spurs win the next two, we'll be within 3 games. So shhhh about the Lakers winning. lol
Come now DPG, now that didn't hurt that badly did it?
The Hornets have snuck up on everybody, last I remembered, they were #6/#7. WTF happened? They're #2 all of a sudden.
The Lakers are the lesser of two evils.
The Hornets are in the same division so you never want a division rival to get wins.
Aside from a good laugh, a Laker loss only benefits the Spurs if the Hornets have a worse record than the Spurs.
#1 seed be damned, just win your division and life is much easier.
i dont care who wins this game.
I just wanna see a good one.
Rockets @ Cavs as well. There are a few good 1's tonight.
Go Cavs!
Peja's not playing??
SMH
Bynum is getting owned.
not surprising
The Lakers haven't been the best team in the NBA since 2001, and the Celtics won the championship last season, how they could not be the favorites is just the product of LA's amount of media/Bynum hype.
The Celtics are a much better team and have been all season.
Damn son, we are playing D right now.
Chris Paul is M.I.A.
some bull . they call double T on tyson and pau but since he already has one they change it to butler lol
