i know Kwame is only 24 but i just dont see the Lakers getting any titles with him as our center.Dont get me wrong i think its cool that Kwame is improving but i just think that we have seen the best of him I really do not see him improving much more than what he did last year.I hope im wrong but i just think we should stick with Bynum and let him grow.

^I disagree

[Vegasmac25]

Good to see Odom back.

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

WOW,Now Luke is hurt   

[Vegasmac25]

[Vegasmac25]

Good news on Luke on the ankle the x-rays came back negative and he has a moderate sprain ankle.

Losing to the Bobcats really frosts my cookies

It's like the injured list is trading players here...

[Tha G In Deee]

Damn, an L for the Lakers tonight...it was dope to see Bynum get a D.D. & Kobe get them into O.T. and at least Luke isn't severely injured...

Bryant Reaches Milestone in OT Loss
Kobe Bryant netted 32 points and buried a game-tying 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime, but the Lakers couldn't hold off the Bobcats in Friday's 106-97 home defeat. Lamar Odom returned after missing the last 21 games with a knee injury and poured in 12 points and seven rebounds. Bryant became the youngest player in NBA history to score 18,000 career points.

Geez, the Bobcats turn into the 80's Celtics when they play us. WTF...

This is irritating to say the least. I guarantee will handle the Spurs easily on Sunday, then lose to another bad team next week.

At least we don't play bad teams in the playoffs. 

Thank God Lamar is back and we'll be getting Kwame back in a couple of weeks. It will hurt not having Luke but Evans is playing better basketball right now. I feel more comfortable with him on the floor instead of Luke to be honest. We'll need him in the playoffs though.

Radman got a DNP...he really needs to pull it together right about now, I know he's better than what he's shown us recently.

Yeah that's why people have a problem classifying us as an elite team. As long as we beat San Antonio and Dallas then lose to the Bobcats and the Trailblazers, people are going to think the Lakers are a fluke team. I think people would give us more credit if we would've beaten the sub .500 teams
