my thoughts as a laker fan

[therammingman]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[RazorBaLade]

I disagree. I thought we looked good with the right lineups, the only time we started being atrocious was when kobe or gasol sat down. Especially gasol because when kobe was resting but gasol was playing we had morris deliver.

Bynum looked pathetic, but thats not a cause for concern because hes better than this. Just doesn't seem to be ready.

barnes and artest just need to be replaced by mcroberts and morris... which im fine with

[oh the horror]

As I said in another thread.

People need to remember, a preseason game, isnt the same for the veteran Laker team as it is to an upcoming, on the rise, younger Clippers team with much more to prove.


Lakers will pace themselves accordingly. But with THAT said, I do have my concerns with their play, and especially their defense.


For one....Metta World Peace is AWFUL.


Two....they will struggle in a huge way with Bynum out the first 5 games....and god HELP the Lakers if he goes down with yet another injury.

Why didn't we amnesty Luke or Peace?

[Sarcastic]

Why didn't we amnesty Luke or Peace?

Even if you did, it wouldn't have gotten you below the cap.

[konex]

Definitely panic time. Our defense still sucks and Ron is AWFUL offensively. There is no way Fisher can be allowed to start on this team or we'll lose every game

[Hank]

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.

LA under the cap? LoL

I just rather have Ebanks or Barnes get more minutes

[oh the horror]

Definitely panic time. Our defense still sucks and Ron is AWFUL offensively. There is no way Fisher can be allowed to start on this team or we'll lose every game

I cant even begin to imagine Fisher starting.

[RazorBaLade]

How can we have a 8 mil trade exception sitting there and not use it on a player tho?

Cmon.

A move has to be made.

Maybe revisit gasol AND bynum for howard if the next game goes like this tho. no joke.

[konex]

Kobe is still the best PG on this team. That has got to change or we will lose games like this all year

[SacJB Shady]

I would not sleep on the Lakers. This is coming from a GWS fan who hates the Lakers. I know that Kobe always has tricks under his belt. Smart IQ. I said earlier, they may struggle this year. Kobe will probably have similar stats as last year. BUT when playoffs come, he and they may be a whole new animal. Don't sleep on them.

[Kobe Face]

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

[konex]

Maybe revisit gasol AND bynum for howard if the next game goes like this tho. no joke.

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

[Batz]

Preseason against a team who has something to prove.


Great combo for the lakers...
