The Official Los Angeles Lakers thread

This is pure torture!

We had some mini spurts in that 3rd...we need to fucking keep it up, though.

What a terrible loss to follow up that tremendous blow-out.


Lakers played like absolute shit and the Jazz played their best, with 4 excellent quarters. That's what it came down to.

[GangstaBoogy]

Can someone please tell me what the fuck is Charles Barkley's problem?

Oh another thing he said I meant to bring up. Notice when Kenny was discussing the Cook/Evans for Ariza trade Barkley said "that was a good trade for the Magic"?

[Styles1]

Woodstock grew damn near 7 Ft. and learned how to ball....

Lamar Must be benched.
Luke needs to start, for a couple of games.
(Fish better watch his spot, Farmar coming up)

We played terrible , the Jazz played very well ..  the Lamar issue needs to be adressed ... if by the end of December it's still the same old shit , just trade him , patience has limits ( more than 3 years  ) Sunday will be interesting , let's see what Andrew can do against the best center in the league

[The Watcher]

if odom keeps playing the way he is now, the lakers wont be able to give him away

He'll probably get dunked on. Hard.

He'll never give the Lakers props. Dude was a Sun and Rocket... his had his far share of battles with Shaq and his generation of players HATE Kobe. MJ actually likes Kobe, but everyone else from that generation hates Kobe like he was the anti-Christ. I take it with a grain of salt, the players of his generation hated Magic too, so fearful of Magic's comebacks so fuck Barkley.

Biggest load of nonsense ever. Many, many players from Barkley's generation acknowledge Kobe's greatness.

you forget that in the 90's, almost everyone of the 80's draft class was calling for Kobe's head. Malone, Barkley, Pippen, they all hated Kobe. They didn't think he deserved to be an All-Star, they cried ball hog, and they said he'd never be Mike, and whatnot. Kobe was hated at that time, which is why he always seemed more distanced. Fast Forward to today, the player now see someone with 3 rings, still just entering his prime and the best player on the court. Respect is given now, but the 80's draft class held tons of resentment to Kobe.

Entering his prime? Sometimes I think yall Kobe Fans can't be serious. Nobody is just entering his prime in his 12th season. I doubt Kobe will ever have as good of an individual year as the past 2 were. He's pushin 30. And stop the "Jordan had very good years in his 30s" cause... 1) Kobe is not Jordan, no matter how much you want him to be, 2) Kobe entered the NBA when he was young as fuck, he's got as many seasons under his belt as Iverson and 3) Jordan took 3 years off... so you really can't expect Kobe to drop 90 on niggas when he's 32. I'm just saying.

Very true...Lamar is not his normal self right now. It's like the same shit that's happening with Chris Bosh and Jermaine O'Neal. 5 shot attempts? That's 5 games he shoots under 8 field goals this year, compared to 3 games forALL of last season . It'll take a few more weeks for Lamar to get back into that game shape, but I have confidence that he will be his normal self again sooner than later, probably around all-star break...PeACe

I think you're overexaggerating...you only named 3 assholes, there were tons of old school players givin their respect to Kobe as soon as they played against him and realized he was something special.

You're proving that you don't know shit...players like Kobe are typically at their best in their 30s. He's much wiser out there on the court, making better decisions and what not. Kobe is just now settling down, and when did Jordan have his best years? In his 30s, when he settled down and grew mentally...Kobe will be on top of the league for some time now, especially considering his dedication and work ethic... don't expect him to fall off any time soon, youngster...PeACe
