Hope you look good in that suit on the lotto drawing show Kobe!
On a more serious playoff related note, Denver is starting to look freaking scary as a playoff opponent. They are 20-5 (!!) since Karl took over as coach.

the lakers denver game was not even close![]()
See everybody. Things COULD be worse.
At least we're not on our SEVENTH straight loss, WITH our superstar healthy.
Unfortunately it's looking like if we finish 2nd or 3rd we're facing either Houston or Denver.
Houston scares me because Pop thinks he needs to outdefense Van Gundy, which means our offense looks like because it's an afterthought to Pop.
And Denver is playing the best ball in the league outside of Miami right now, with a lot of length inside to throw at Duncan and a PG in Miller who gives Parker fits.
They still deserve it for .4![]()

Parker has always done well against Miller in Cleveland, Los Angeles and Denver.And Denver is playing the best ball in the league outside of Miami right now, with a lot of length inside to throw at Duncan and a PG in Miller who gives Parker fits.
Denver won w/o Camby and Martin....unlike our pussified team who can not win w/o TD.
I am sure jim that devin brown and a healthy manu might disagree with you
I believe they are spurs that did not play
No excuses!!!
Every team plays w/o their stars every year and champions come through when the chips are down. This team is 1-5 w/o TD and 0-2 w/o TD when he has exited in the first Q after being injured....that is not going to cut it.
I agree with Jim, but won't make a habit of it.
The no-Tim collapse exposes, undeniably, a softness in the Spurs that I sensed, and posted about before Christmas and got thoroughly trashed for it, when the Spurs were sailing along at the top of the league.
To repeat (all of the below are WITH Tim playing):
the incredible collapses on both ends for one quarter (@TOR, Sonics@SBC),
the glaring inconsistency from qtr to qtr, from game to game
the bad losses to lottery teams
the bad losses to playoff teams not playing playoff ball
the ugly wins and losses to lottery teams outhustling us (Clips @SBC, @UTA)
the losses given away by playing badly, rather than by playing well and getting beat (@SAC).
the mediocre road record, esp .500 against playoff teams, obscured by and offsetting the league-best home record.
The Spurs, including Pop, are now faced with their own softness. If they are the champions we expect them to be,
they will successfully harden up,
make the adjustments in at ude,
each Spurs becomes his own leader, assumes full responsibility for himself to affect the outcome of the game,
Find ways to win, including Pop's coaching (no more idiotic 4-down @NYK with Nazr and Horry in the crunch time, it! no more 4-down EVER), without Tim.
etc, etc.
The Spurs have plenty of talent, without Tim, if that talent decides to play hustle ball, above all to play tough defense, and hustle the boards.
I think Beno needs to take over the starting job if TP continues to play soft without TD in the game.
yeah beno got that w in new york did he not....
I expected the Lakers to struggle this season, but this definitely hurts. No chance for them to make the playoffs now...looks like we will rebuild through the draft.
if west was smart they would trade kobe for 2 stars....
you expected lakers to struggle but did you ever expect a team with kobe to lose 7 straight?
The Lakers are 6-32 when their opponent scores 100 points. ... Los Angeles is on its longest losing streak since dropping 10 straight to end the 1993-94 season.
This just proves how stupid people who compared Kobe to Jordan really are. Kobe is a joke compared to Jordan.
^^And what about when they compare Lebron to Jordan? Cavs aren't doing that much better...
those people are closer, but still idiots
You put Jordan on this Laker team..and they wouldn't do any better...seriously.
Odom has been out, they have bench players playing starter minutes...it's very silly to bash Kobe and hold him resonsible. But he deserves this....ya I know...whatever.
Just because Kobe is a talented players Lakers fans thought he was a leader. Sorry Kobe's no leader. He's an anti-leader, he POs other players.
Question for Lakers' fans. What did you ever see in Kobe that made you think he could be a leader?
I never said that he could be a leader.
Jimcs and Boutons have taken the lead from WHottt and SequSpur as forum dumb s.
