The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[Ray McKigney]

Let's see how passionate the Cleveland fans are about watching Bynum ride the pine for most of the season with bum knees. 

[SoWhat]

Tank for Wiggins, pleeeeeease

[xboom28x]

They have a better chance of winning a championship than they do winning the lottery and the #1 pick.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I'd be fine with a top 5-7 pick.

[Punk]

Not going to happen.

[Angel Oracle]

They can easily miss the post-season, which puts them in the lottery automatically. 

They barely made it as it was this past season.

[Punk]

I'm excited to watch this team play. Last years team was horrible to watch. Especially Dwight. 

[xboom28x]

I'm glad I am out of market. And with this roster, TNT and ESPN won't be showing them as much either.

 

I can't truly say this team will disappoint because I don't see them being successful at all.

Ditto.  I'll still watch what games I can, but my expectation level will be very low.

Lakers will be on national television this upcoming season more than the Heat.

 

I now understand why the Lakers are hated so much. I would hate to be forced to watch this crap team next season too.

[Angel Oracle]

Even if Bryant somehow returns for opening night, I still predict a .500 season at best and missing the playoffs.

Then let the lottery draw fall where it may for the 2014 draft, although I'm still confused thanks to the Cleveland and Phoenix trades.    Do the Lakers still get the 2014 draft pick if they miss the playoffs?

[tennischmp]

29 times to be embarrassed on national TV? wow

[Punk]

I knew all the Lakers vs Rockets games would be on national tv.

[Ray McKigney]

I predict the Lakers will have a better record next season than they did last season. 

[Punk]

I'm with you on that one.

[Angel Oracle]

How are they going to be at least 45-37?    

The only real solid players they have left are Bryant, Gasol, and Hill, along with bunch of maybes.

Blake is never consistent.    Nash is approaching 40.   Meeks, Wesley Johnson, and Nick Young are all one dimentional.

Where is the defense coming from?

ESPN doesn't know sh*t. Screw them.

[Punk]

James Harden + Dwight Howard= Kobe and Shaq 2.0??

 

 

 

Screw the Rockets! I hope we kick their ass. I hate Rocket fans now. Talking all this crap this offseason. 

[Stradling]

Except Shaq actually played well as a Laker.

Lou Amundson baby

A sneak peak of the new black "Hollywood Nights" alternate jersey.

 

 

[OregonLAA]

Must be getting desperate when the highlight of the season will be new jerseys. But they do look pretty sweet

How exactly does showing a pic of what new alternate jerseys look like show desperation?
