Nice credits

Although not very many of these Laker-related news are exactly fun to read.

That’ll change tonight. I sure hope.

Not that it matters,

But did L.A. sign 37YOTR just to put him in a retirement home in California or is he actually going to play?

Kobe is slowing down

I don’t think it’s that evident. He looks healthier this year than the last two years.

I am actually excited about this stretch....

I think it will snap us out of this….“fuck it we can beat these crappy teams in our sleep” mode. Hopefully by the All-Star break we will be playing playoff(ish) basketball.

Im so excited ofr this stretch. Because if they dont pick it up here, there in big trouble and they know that.

They fallen behind pretty good with all those junk losses weve had, but these nest 20 games will really show us if this teams for real.

Im sure most Laker fans are ready for this like i am.

by RudeMood19 on Jan 17, 2011 12:26 PM PST up reply actions  

Do you really?

Then you’re gonna have to share the ball and the wealth. The Spurs haven’t lost a game in which they held an opponent under 100 since December 1, when they lost in uninspiring fashion to the Clippers. Also, in the last game, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli provided next to nothing all game, combining to shoot 4-19. Pretty sure that’s not going to happen again, so the Lakers had better be ready.

The Lakers had better be ready? Were The 2-Time Back-2-Back defending Champions. Spurs need to be ready(er?) then we do. Which is usually the case and thats why we lose.

But once The Playoffs come around and The Lakers are just as(if not more) prepared then The Spurs well have no problem knocking them out like we usually do. Thats if none of their guys get hurt by then, or even tire out by then.

Thats for the heads up though.

He's been playing alright lately, but the lack of contribution from PG has hurt us.

In general though, Pau just needs to be more assertive.

Was at the game yesterday

and it was one of the more entertaining games I’ve been to as a fan. I’m used to the sleepy Laker crowds that only wake up for huge games/close 4th quarter games. Yesterday was fun, outside of the final score, I would say the crowd was about 50/50 and there was pretty loud cheering for every made basket. Still don’t know how that one slipped away, pretty much got outworked by the Clippers, they definitely wanted it more.

As for tonight, not feeling too hot about it. Just like the Clips, I think the Thunder are going to come in and try to prove a point at the Lakers expense. Going to need a monster game out of Mr. Bynum down low. And a Ron Ron sighting would be much appreciated.
