Not too bad, considering we've had a pretty tough schedule and *sigh* key injuries...I do expect more, though.

Knock 2 or 3 games off of the loss column and add them to the win column and it wouldn't be so bad right now... I was hoping after that 73 point performance from the bench that the guys would find their game-winning confidence.

im a huge as laker fan but im really getting sick and tired of their mistake throught games for the past few.I fear that we may still have the same fucking team and its a damn shame too.

Give Ariza time to learn the offense. He might even start by some point this season.

Wait for Kwame to return. He's a vital part of our team defense, which has suffered since his absence.

Have patience with Lamar... he is always perforimg consistantly by the 2nd half of the season and don't forget he is coming off of a surgery.

Just wait.

[Styles1]

Hope your right....

Otherwise you will be seeing a lot of griping in this thread this season...

im still a laker fan for life!!!!!!!!

When everybody is healthy , we need to go back to the following lineup:

Fish
Kobe
Luke
Ronnie
Kwame

it works very well at the beginning of the season .. great D inside , a better ball movement with Luke which isn't efficent coming off the bench anyways .. as for Lamar , it's not even a matter of being at 100% or not , he's still playing the wrong type of B-Ball ... instead of usin his size advantage down low, he keeps taking jump shots and jacking 3s .. without mentionning his D at the SF position is weak : against Denver Carmelo elevated and was hitting the same jumper in his face at least 6-7 times .. I know he's a great player but at least make him work and force him to put the ball on the floor ... just an example but his D in others games hasn't been better ..

today is a must win ... by the way Turiaf won't play , Andrew will have to D Jefferson ..

Lamar is not bangin' bodies like he usually does because he's not in shape to do so...Compare his shot attempts from this season to last season. Give him time!

Where the fuck is Bynum?

[GangstaBoogy]

Trevor Ariza: 15 Points (5-5 FG, 5-6 FT), 5 Rebounds, 4 Assists, 4 Steals, 1 Block in 26 Minutes

This should be our new game plan, blow our opponents out so we can get our bench some playing time to get ready for the playoffs.

[Styles1]

Hallelujah!! A Win!!

Where the fuck is Bynum?

Had the flu.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

Hallelujah!! A Win!!

Against the T-Wolves.

[Styles1]

T-Wolves, T-Rex's, T-Pain's... I will take the win.
