3-2 in the last 5. Another almost loss. What is going on? Is the sky falling?
No, Lakers will still be in the finals likely. But this goes to show you how hard it is to win 72 games. I don't think either or the big three (still can't believe how good CLE is right now) has a chance.......
-
did they beat the Kings today?
-
The only team who really have a chance to try to do that is Boston. I mean they are mentally stronger than the rest of the League. Plus they are already the NBA Champions, they know how to win, and they know how to handle pressure (all them Game-7's in the Playoff last year..). The Lakers will have the best record in the West, but unfortunately it won't be better than the Celtics one, and that's something that scares me, cause like i said i don't want to play 4 games in Boston.

it has been confirmed he is out indefinetley and has his foot in a protective boot.
-
nobody can get 72 wins playing on the east or west coast
too much travel
bulls had it made in the central time zone
-
^That's some insightful shit.
Either way, it's stupid to give your all in March when you already got home court sealed just so you get 72. You should chill a bit in March and take an L here and there, then go all in during April to get ready for the Playoffs. 65 is damn straight, going for much more than that is immature, unless it comes really easy.
-
I dont think any of these teams will keep up this pace, especially the Cavs (who ESPN says has the best shot at 72 wins). I think the Lakers will slow down a BIT, but more importantly i think some Western teams will improve during the season. The one thing that might give the Cavs or Celtics a better shot....is that they might be competing against eachother for homecourt during the playoffs at the end of the season. So they might not be able to rest starters down the stretch. Either way, it doesnt matter cus its WAY too early to be worrying about 72 wins lol

naw
-
I hope Boston goes 73-9 then loses to the Hawks in the 1st round. Then again...knowing those arrogant fuckers they'll just brag about setting a new record all year.

a ESPN anaylist said that the Lakers problem is that they wont know how to win close games; that they slack off when there winning by 20 in the fourth (like they have been up all season).
Lakers are losing close games according to ESPN. ;) ;D

yup, the Lakers are fucked haha
Boston's gonna kick their ass
like NIK says "there's no way Boston will win" that's how I feel about the Lakers
and I'm a Laker fan.... they're way too pussy, WAY

lakers don't play enough D in my opinion, so when they run into a team like Boston thats built around it they get exposed.
not sayin that as a "hater" or celtic fan, thats just the truth. celtics arent perfect either but they have mental toughness that the MOST of the Lakers don't seem to possess
-
LOL@Laker fans on here acting like Boston is better than us...
We COULDA beat them last year
THIS year + Ariza and Bynum and them - James Posey = our chances double.
CALM DOWN.

Posey really means alot when we're 19-2, huh? that's what your holding on to here?
i mean Bynum's a fine player but has the landscape of LA really changed that much? they still allow 100 points a game!
i loved Posey as much as the next C's fan but he's 1 player, and Rondo's evolving to the point where Posey's minutes aren't needed as bad

cleveland might be able to pull it off against the celtics in the play offs. they've gotten stronger damn. unbelievable.

I'm not saying we don't have a chance against them (if they end up having a better record than us). I'm saying i don't want to play 4 games in Boston, so we better take the best record.

Yes this is true. Remember when the Suns beat us in the 06 playoffs (without Stoudemire), Nik was still saying we were better than the Suns.

Beating a team once, and beating them in a 7 game playoff series is completly different. No team goes undefeated.

LOL@asking if Bynum changes the landscape...OF COURSE, YOU FOOL. Gasol moves from center to power forward and Lamar Odom comes off the bench. You've said a lot of dumb things in the past, but that was right up there. :-X
and LOL@acting like Posey wasn't a vital part of your success last season.

go jerk stoudemire off...i still say we were the better TEAM (when we played to our full potential). we were up 3-1 and coulda won the series with a rebound...our players were just not as experienced and prepared to give it their all. it's part of growing, which is why we're the best team in the league right now, babyg. :-*
and tone's just mad cuz the spurs aint up in the talks. :laugh:

LOL@Hack and BabyG tag-teaming. Must feel good to know you got a Boston fan egging you on, huh? :laugh:...if we had a 3-1 lead to begin with, we clearly were the better team when we initiated. The fact that we couldn't hold the 3-1 lead only shows immaturity and lack of experience. If both the Suns and Lakers performed to full potential in those playoffs, Lakers woulda came out on top...PeACe

hey nik, were the lakers better than the pistons in 2004? :D

Ummm, when did I say the Lakers had the better players? I clearly stated we had an immature roster of mediocre players. In fact, I've been calling Kobe's suporting cast pre-Gasol era a D-League roster.. But as a TEAM, we were better when initiating the triangle offense at peak levels vs. the Suns running their run-n-gun style. it's just that us being immature and all, we didn' always operate the way we were capable of. get it yet, crack?

Amare is very limited in potential. He's a power player who scores the bulk of his points off of his strength and athleticism. He's already developed a jump shot, so I dunno what more potential he has. He's undersized and can't defend well...Bynum, on the other hand, has tools which make for unlimited potential. Ya feel me?

so the suns have better players, lakers were a better "team" (despite the Suns running away with the division)
lolllll

i feel he will one day be a good defender, not a top, but a good one.
the offense might be cut down a little, but even that would still make him one of the best offensive big men in the league.

lolllll
Suns had better players, but played for a faulty system...Lakers had less talented players, but played for a top-notch system. When both systems were executed to it's fullest potential, the Lakers shitted all over the Suns (hence the 3-1 series lead we had over them). why are you too retarded to get this?
