The Official Los Angeles Lakers thread

Man I just had to write that the shit i've seen was absolutely disgusting. I woke up at 5 a.m. to see the game live, i was pretty optimistic, but shit they ruined my whole day with that bullshit. Clippers are 2-1 against the Lakers, there's nothing to add. We're for the 2nd straight year the 2nd best team in Los Angeles. Man i'm a Laker fan, but at the same time i'm an NBA fan, and i'm extremely realistic. I'm not like Nik or Addicted to Beef who will probably find 2000 excuses, i don't like excuses: we sucked. This year the Clippers are a better team than us, i've said it 3 months ago too. We basically destroyed our season by trading Caron Butler, our best rising star with great market, for extremely disappointing Kwame Brown. That move killed us for good, and i was been the first one in this board to say it. So early that somebody questioned my Laker pride. Fuck that. Just admit this team sucks.

What did you expect in the beginning of the season ? We just an average team who lost shitty games against shitty teams lots of time. With the current roster (inexperienced and with one the most talented player BUT the most inconsistent too ; Lamar), any Lakers fans should be a bit satisfied that we are still in the playoffs race. Of course Lakers history is all about wins but as you said "BE REALISTIC". I wouldn't say we suck, we just a very inconsistent team. Of course the Butler- Brown was a VERY weak move but we talk about Kuchpack. With Brown, we have a solid post defender but a non offensive factor when with Butler, we lost a very solid offensive weapon that would help Kobe a lot...

Shit, i'm realistic like i said, and i wasn't expecting us to be contenders, but damn at least i was expecting us to have a better record than Rudy T.'s era. Rudy T. left us in the #6 spot, with a 24-19 record (.558%). He had tons of problems (Divac, Malone and George out for the season, Bryant injured, new playbook, new staff, the media hating on the Shaq trade, the Staples Center with less fans, etc..). Today Phil's team has a 28-27 record (.509%) and is risking to miss the #8 spot. We're playing WORSE than in the last season (obviously i don't consider the second half of the season as "credible"). I was expecting more, yeah. From the players and from Phil.

I'm satisfacted about the #8 spot, don't get me wrong. To fail the Playoff is a situation i've never predicted, and i refuse to think about it. But we've traded Caron Butler without finding a soluction for the PF spot. And Odom is still here, playing one night as an All Star and the next one like Sasha Vujacic. I'm mad at the whole situation, cause we've wasted 2 years in Bryant's career. And it's a luxury we can't afford.

Man it's impossible to give 7 millions per year to a player who makes 0 points against the Clippers. Impossible. Cook is outplaying him, shit. COOOOOK!!!!!!!!!! Not Malone!

I missed the Laker/Clipper game but damn... wtf is up with this team. One game we completely run shit and the next game play like complete garbage. We haven't had any consistency this season. It's frustrating to watch.
I was hoping we'd find that consistency by now but damn...

Yep you right. Brown hasn't improved with Phil so I don't see being optimistic about him in the future.
