Kome needs to catch Shaq... and eventually MJ... there are bigger things at stake here than a silly championship...
And focus on health. They've already shown what a juggernaut they are if they are focused, primed and healthy. I'm not saying that they half-ass the games like what they did 3 games before the All-Star break, but it's time for them to ease on the pedal as the second season, and the one that counts, nears. I would still love them to get 60 wins at the end of the regular season, but right now I don't think that's a priority. Maybe if they had won today, I would be singing a different tune, but what I know and have been singing all along is that they shouldn't be too focused or too driven to steal HCA from San Antonio, or Chicago for that matter. Nobody can beat them if they are healthy, focused and primed for the championship.
The freak accidents that happened earlier to Bynum and Gasol show how one misfortune can change the course of a playoff run; how it can make or break a season. They pretty much got away with it but I wouldn't dare fate the second time.

Just stay ahead of Miami and Boston and I'm happy
They'll probably be able to do that. Maybe they can send a message to SA on the 12th. But Phil hates statement games in the regular season, and the team has also taken his at ude
lol lakers losing a meaningless regular season game meaning anything
That's all that matters IMO. Lakerfan should be happy as right now to be in the spot they're in. #2 seed is pretty much a lock now since Dallas is morphing into playoff mode a little early.I honestly dont see any team in the West or the Bulls beating LA 4 out of 7 if they somehow get past Boston or Miami.
The Spurs are assholes.
They are dangling that one seed in front of the Lakers like a person teasing a dog with a beggin' strip. The dog is always so close to getting a tasty treat, when the person just pulls it up and makes them jump for it over, and over, and over again.
That could get pretty tiring.
tbh, I want the Lakers at full strength if they are to meet the Spurs. None of this Bynum/Gasol injury .
so you wanna have no shot of winning?
The Lakers have already proven that their ready for the playoffs, they don't need the #1 seed.
10-27
Kobe in finals mode tbh. Tim Duncan was the pioneer of 10-27
LA's only obstacle in the West is Kobe, tbh..
haha true
Still wish Manu got the finals MVP that year
Tbh I don't think the lakeshow need it. They have so many fans to fill any arena they visit
Yeah, he already catched Duncan at:::
Kobe: 5
Duncan: 4
tee, hee.
About the Bulls i agree that it won't be easy for them to get out of the East but if they end up meeting LA in the finals don't take the victory for granted speacially if you don't have HCA.That's all that matters IMO. Lakerfan should be happy as right now to be in the spot they're in. #2 seed is pretty much a lock now since Dallas is morphing into playoff mode a little early.
You don't have anyone that can even remotely give a challenge to D. Rose 1 on 1 and your biggest advantage wich is your frontline will at least be challenged by the Noah/Boozer and company.
Yeah, that's not going to happen in the playoffs.Tbh I don't think the lakeshow need it. They have so many fans to fill any arena they visit
Actually...she right. During the playoffs the bandwagon fans roll hard. I'd bet Lakers have the biggest selection of bandwagon fans of any sport.
...and Bynum's health.
...and The Tiago, tbh.
When you was O & 6 there was an empty wagon upstairs.
tee, hee.
In other words, the Lakers have peaked already?
You go out and win every game you can. Whatever happens happens.
Unless you're talking about not playing Bynum at all until the playoffs, I don't think you play to not get hurt. A player can get injured playing 35 minutes or 5 minutes. Injuries happen. Once you start playing not to get hurt, that's when you get hurt.
