<< < (3/7) > >>

If Clippers wins they have the #1 record in the Western Conference, tying San Antonio's one.
And the Lakers have a 4-5 record and are virtually out of the Play Offs.
Crazy. Menthally it's very very very important, expecially for the Lakers.

the "mentally" thing can always be used....but this game means nothing but a victory or a loss for either team. basketball is a LONG season...to think that this one loss for either team will send them spiraling into a horrible season, when we're only 10 games into an 82 game season, is silly. Its all hype right now. Unless one of these teams ends up one game ahead of the other at the end of the season...and the team with the better record makes the playoffs....this game wont mean shit. During the season, teams will go on so many different streaks...losing...winning....whatever. You know how many times ive seen my team start out a season with like a .500 record through the first 10 games or so...only to end up with over 50 wins. Not that either LA squad will finish with over 50...but still. u know what i mean.

I know, but Lakers are a project with an horrible season behind them, they're mentally unstable, in a very dangerous situation, expecially since they are a young team with a glorious past and an ambitious superstar. A very dangerous situation. If they loose tonight they could start loosing faith to the system. Start loosing faith to Phil. They could start fearing about another season like the one before. And Kobe is in his prime, he sure doesnt want to live another season like the last one. They betta win, man. They need a big win tonight. Fuck loosing.

if theyre confidence is what youre worried about, this one game wont be the reason for it being shaken. it will be from the accumulation of losses...not just one loss to the Clippers (who are playing good ball right now anyways). you know im no Laker fan...but honestly, they are in a good position as far as..there is no pressure on them to win. if the go .500 this year...that will be a decent season for them. if they go .500 this month, it will be more then expected. their confidence should be fine right now. its early...
