my thoughts as a laker fan

Howard doesn't improve this team. Guard play, shooting and depth are the issues

There has to be a reason that we don't have a good PG. Maybe people just don't want to play in this team. Baron chose NY for a reason. If we blow up the interior for howard, we still have that trade exception and now we have the best C in the league to entice a pg.

its a risk.. that im not sure if i'd take, but still. there is NO good reason why we still dont have a pg

What's the likely line up for the Lakers with Bynum suspended next week?

forgot all about this. oooo man this is gonna be a great season

[oh the horror]

One thing I did like seeing however, was the play of McRoberts, Ebanks, and a few others out there. They provided much needed hustle.


"World Peace" should never see playing time. Dude is DONE.

Preseason; omg we should quit the league cause we lost the game.

Lol

[LOGoods7]

I just wanna know if we're gonna get something for Odom or if we really just gave him up for nothing.....

Meta World Peace should be renamed Beta World Peace...

The biggest concern is the Mavs seemed to put some sort of curse on the Lakers which allows everyone to drill 3s on them. Brian Cook and Trey Thompkins lightin em up.

Also, I hate Mike Browns offense. Way too much bynum at the top of the key looking for cutters or dribble hand offs.

Looks like Kobe is going to have to do a lot this season

[Allstar24]

So I noticed Blake Griffin didn't play well at all...Pau actually played better than him. But it was their PGs (Billups and CP3 in particular) who killed the Lakers...not unusual as the Lakers have always had trouble defending point guards. Rose is going to drop 50 on Sunday.

33PPG go for the top 3 alltime scorer spot.....looking like the most that will come outta this season...

GO FOR IT!! Kobe!

No curse. The Lakers were exposed for their weakness. Which is perimeter defense. They did pretty much nothing to address this issue in their offseason.

It's going to be a long and embarrassing year for the Lakers.

They're finished. Done. CAPUT !

They are 1st round fodder at best... as I said well before this game.

I'm gonna be so happy when people here start posting pictures of your fat middle-aged ass again.

CP3 wanted to play here. We have no PG cos Phil did not want real PGs screwing up his precious triangle. Baron chose NY cos we didn't want him...
