They looked great in the first qtr/half..
Then yeah Kobe and the great team no-defense took over:facepalm
If they lose to the kings tomorrow season done i think:(
Popp will probably rest his starters for that game.

i think we are done, utah has next 4 or 5 games at home, they are 26-9 at home too. and records at matching and they own the tiebreaker which is even more pathetic for lakers.
I hope Jim Buss never concedes control. :oldlol:

As long as they can beat Dallas, N'Awleans, Portland, Golden State & Houston, they should be in. Pop may rest his starters, or he may play them if he wants to make sure the Lakers don't make the playoffs so he can face Utah instead. Clippers & Memphis are in a position battle and can't see either slipping up.

The bolded are winnable games. Memphis and Clippers will blow out LA and I think SA beats them easily, starters or no starters.
Dallas game is especially important. They lose that and LA could be looking at a four game losing streak which would kill any type of momentum for a playoff push.

Don't worry fools, they will make it as 8th seed. They will then "upset" the first seed. It's all part of Stern's grand plan before his exit (which is about 30 years overdue).

i wouldn't blame the Lakers, they are in a down period due to things out of there control.
Could they have played better??? yes
but they have had a lot of things stacked up against them.
Poor management the last few season
1. Not fortifying the bench enough over the last 3 seasons and over paying for name recognition.
2. Egregious coaching hiring; Coach brown was a questioable hire from day 1 and the same could be said about dantoni
Injuries
yes injuries are part of the game, but when you are integrating multiple new players to a team it impacts a team more than usual.

Imagine if the Heat failed this hard in their first year.
Just goes to show that Kobe is a cancer to any sort of team oriented basketball. His mentality doesn't work anymore, he doesn't have bigs that can compensate for him enough now.
onhcetum
03-30-2013, 01:55 AM
Kobe is no where near the dynamic player that Lebron, (prime) Duncan, Shaq, and Jason Kidd are (notice how I left Durant off that list since he still is just a scorer). When will you guys realize that scoring isn't everything? You still have to play defense and balling handling skills and getting your teammates open shots and running the offense are essential skills. Oh wait, none of you guys even play basketball.
He's 34 right? That's why... well when he was in his prime they still were a mediocre team (two first round exits) and didn't make the playoffs one year.
Scoooter
03-30-2013, 01:56 AM
I will say that Kobe's defense this year has been appalling. Steve Nash tries on defense and usually makes the right moves, he just isn't very capable physically. Kobe looks as capable physically as he has in years, but he doesn't care at all about defense. It's deflating to have a guy like that out there on the court. Pau also needs to step it up.
Kobe should really be ceding the keys of the offense to Nash, and expending his energy defensively. They've looked their best with something approaching that dynamic.
chazzy
03-30-2013, 01:59 AM
Kobe's such a cancer that they've only had a top 7-9 offense all year. Criticize his defense because he's not doing much at that end and they are 20th in the league, but even then that's more of a team problem rather than an individual one. Played even worse D in 2011 coming off knee surgery and they were 6th in the league.

They're 20th because of Dwight. Take him off the team and they might be a bottom five in defense.
Kobe's never been a two way player though. He's an all-time great offensive player but the media and his fanbase have overrated his overall game to the point that they've brainwashed many people into thinking he was an impact defender when that was NEVER the case. All the advanced stats say, even in his prime, he was only above average on defense. It's because of these exaggerations(and myths) that people have such high expectations of Kobe. They expect him to dominate on both ends of the court when he's NEVER done that. What he's doing now is what he's always done in his career - anchor the offense and play negligible defense. Kobe's a one-way player that's been advertised as a two way guy.

werent the lakers playing better after kobe got injured? when Nash was allowed to run the offense? cant they run the offense through nash first then divert through the rest, i believe they won a couple and the stats for all were good. seems weird that teams lioe tue lakers may be out of the playoffs. real changing of the guard.

Why did it drop from 6th to 20th in two years?
And its too bad individual defense cannot be measured through advanced stats. Kobe played great man D in the 3peat and in 08. Also stepped it up in the playoffs throughout his career

You might want to go watch Kobe from 2000-2003, particular the 2001 and 2002 season when he was a Top 3 and Top 5-10 perimeter defender, respectfully.
With that said, if Kobe makes another All Defensive team in his career, we as NBA fans should truly revolt.

The best case scenario for the Lakers would be too all get injured and that would justify their absence in the playoffs. They do not want to make the playoffs because then their legacy of their 4 star players would be ruined. They would get swept.

Mavs are playing really hard every night...and they have actually been a pretty good team since Dirk became a starter after the injury...something like 22-14 I think.
The game in LA will likely decide the Mavs / Lakers part of it. Jazz could get hot, but I still think the winner of the Lakers v. Mavs game will be the team to make it.
Well,look at it from the bright side. Most of the games are at home.
Technically one road game since they'll be in Staples Centers vs the Clippers.
Though with the success of the Clippers, how has the arena fanbase been like for Lakers vs Clippers games? Split even now or do LAL fans still dominate?
Nobody has mentioned this but Utah owns tiebreaker over both the Lakers and Mavs, so the Jazz just have to match their records.

Yea. They certainly hold the 8th seed in their hand at this point. If they play well, they will likely make it because of that tiebreaker. I just see the Lakers or the Mavs getting hot and the Jazz losing a couple games they shouldn't.
But I'm biased...I'm a Mavs fan...and I'd also much rather watch the Lakers in round 1 than the Jazz.

Maybe rebuild around Dwight Howard..even though eventually he won't be the best player on the team once you have talent around him. Either way the lakers are going to suck.

I went on the record and said, it was a blessing in disguised for the Lakers because they got not only Steve Nash but Dwight Howard.
Well, looks like I'm wrong about that.
im not sure why you want to see this awful team in the playoffs anyway. they will stink it up with constant kobe isos, bad FT shooting and bad defensive rotations. absolutely no chemistry shown whatsoever during any stretch in the season. and no reason to think they will turn it on in the playoffs.
Dallas just won.

Not much.
Maybe marginally better with guaranteed 7th spot.
The problem is not CP3 as LAL.
Problem is Kobe-ball, Kobe "FIRST" & Kobe's way of winning the game.
CP3 WILL never average double digit assists with Kobe in the backcourt.
CP3 at best will ave 8.5 APG because Kobe will marginalize him just like he marginalized NASH.
Pure PGs & Kobe are an ABSOLUTE NO NO.
Only reason why LAL will get to 6th spot is because they have HOWARD & PAU & ARTEST that CP3 will find refuge in.
Kobe will do the maximum damage playing DISRUPTIVE team B'ball.
But the trio of CP3-Howard-Pau with MWP will make up for Kobe-ball.

Lol what a retard post... Cp3 could have defended the best of the pg's

Good luck finding a team to trade Gasol, Nash and Artest to - especially with the new tax. Forget about getting draft picks back - teams won't be trading cheap talent for overpriced old players. You really expect to get talent better than DH? and with which draft picks?
