now im a big laker fan BUT there is no excuse for the way they have been playing the last 4 games, i mean shaq and malone go out due to injury but that doesnt mean u just quit and thats what they have done the last 2 games (watching the game right now versus denver and they do suck badly)
i mean basically it has been Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton versus everybody else, some players step up here and then but not on a consistent basis, one thing is for sure though is that their DEFENSE SUCKS, they got absolutely nothing and on offense they look confused, i mean they depend on Kobe every time
something has to happen cause they sure aint gonna win no championship this year, and Gary Payton aint too happy either
-
They've looked pretty bad this past week. Still think they'll be the team to beat as long as they get into the playoffs no matter what seed they are. (and if they are healthy)
-
i havn't been able to watch many laker games here lately but , shit i can't believe the way they'e been losing......and who they been losing to. i expect these games to be close considering this team is built around shaq and when the main piece is missing , it goes to shit....but c'mon guys.
-
Dude, Shaq and Malone are out...They've been playing without a powerforward and a center...It's obviously because of the injuries, because they were killing before...PeACe
-
They just beat the Hawks by 50...LoL
-
They have had injuries, ill give em that. So its kinda hard to knock em right now while they only have Kobe and Payton playin. But i dont think they would have kept up that fast pace they started with at the beginning of the season anyways. I aint gonna judge em right now, but for real...i dont see them winnin anything this year. Their bench is gonna hurt them in the playoffs. U see as soon as Malone went out, they couldnt win shit...and that was with Kobe, Payton, and Shaq all in the lineup. Sacramento and San Antonio are too consistent right now for LA.
btw...anybody see Kobe fakin the funk with that left handed bullshit tonight against Cleveland?! lolol. Cmon...if he was that hurt (which he probably wasnt), he should have just came out of the game. Shooting a lefthanded 3 and hittin nuthin but backboard, didnt prove alot lol.

spurs taking it all again this year, 17 wins out of the last 18 and they are still not playing their best. its amazing how this team always stays below the radar.

yah. Its cus they dont run they mouth alot, or search for the spotlight. Plus, fans dont appreciate good defense. Kinda the same thing that happened to Payton when he was a Sonic. He was one of the most underrated point guards EVER i think. The Spurs are pretty underrated, even the 2 championship years. And true like u said, i dont think theyre even playin their best yet.
-
Ummm, no...Sac or San Antonio can't even come close to a healthy Laker squad...Keep in mind they haven't been 100% healthy all year, and they're still holding it down...And why are you talking shit about Kobe's shoulder injury? That was the same shoulder he had surgery on during the summer, and it looks like he'll be out for a while...The only reason he came back in the 2nd quarter was cause the X-rays were negetive...LOL

dude, the lakers have 4 players.... thats it. lakers got no bench, it takes a team effort to win a championship. Shaq is being a baby again this year, paytons not happy, and who knows what will happen with kobe. dont get your hopes up sccit, i would hate to see them get crushed

Still the best? You lost last year...remember?
Like i said, Laker fans talked this shit last year...and saw their team bounced out the playoffs without even makin the conference finals. Im pretty sure itll happen again. They have no defense, and no bench. Scitt...the names u listed arent that great man. If ANY of them were...your team would have kept pace when Malone went out. And regardless...STARTING the season hot, gets u nothing really. If youre not peaking at playoff time...no one will give a shit if u started 15-1...or whatever yall record was. Even if the Lakers were completely healthy...they would have started slipping. And the only reason i brought up Kobe's injury is cus he has a little habit of bringing attention to his injuries (no matter if theyre major, or minor injuries) lol. Kinda funny to watch him draw as much possible attention to his shoulder as he could!

Yea, I guess he just got surgery on his shoulder and knee this summer for attention :D
You're so smart man!
Fact: Kobe had knee surgery this summer without notifying the NBA or even his own team.
Fact: You don't know what you're talking about.
Opinion: Spurs won't move shit this year.
Opinion: Tim Duncan looks like a bat.

i'll ignore the first half of your post since the spurs are in the same boat .....but to say kobe brings attention to his injuries is ridiculous.......dude though his arm came out of it's socket and still went out to play....that's heart. also here's a list of injuries kobe endured without talking about or even going out for (some of which tim duncan went out for )
sprain ankle-refused to be put on injury list and convinced gary vitti to keep it quiet from the media and phil and tex.
shin split- played 2 straight seasons without going out
stiff wrist
tendonitous of the knee , wrist , foort
cracked ribs
muscle tear in calf
sprain elbow (shooting arm at that)
in fact most of his injuries that kobe went out with he either came back from them early , right on time or didn't want to go out.
say what you will about kobe....but to say he brings attention to his injuries or is a bitch about them is ridculous.....one of kobe's things against shaq at the begining of the season was that kobe was playing hurt all last year and didn't bring attention to himself or miss a game.
