The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[Agalloch]

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. 

I hate everything about the Rockets now, can't wait till they lost close games due to Howard's missed FT's and have no bench to bail them out.

I think the black uniforms are awesome.

[Punk]

They should wear them at home and on the road. 

[m0nkey]

Those are some pretty cool looking uniforms

Jeanie and Jimmy Bob aren't happy with each other.

Phil is going to come back eventually. Maybe not as a HC, but he'll be back in the organization. 

[Angel Oracle]

More Jimmy Bob goodness, how the heck is he qualified to run this proud franchise?

[Stradling]

He inherited the team.

[Angel Oracle]

The WRONG Buss child inherited the team.

Jeanne in basketball knowledge >>>> Jimmy Bob, whose only claim to fame before was being a horse player.

[nate]

I would love for them to bring back Jerry West and let Jimmy Buss just sign checks.

 

I don't know how much Jeanie really knows when it comes to running the basketball side, she does an excellent job on the business side and I bet she would make the right decision of who to hire to manage the basketball side.

Paul George signed a 5 year extension. Cousins reportedly close to a deal. Two more names off the so-called best FA pool list ever for 2014.

 

At this rate, the Lakers will end up with Stoudamire, Kobe and Okafor. As their big 3.

 

Jim Buss will ruin this team as long as he is calling the shots

[nando714]

Idk what do think about this team

They can be sleepers or just the 9th best team out west. Still can't wait!

[Stradling]

They will have a better record than last season, but that still won't guarantee them a playoff spot.

[tennischmp]

What makes you think that they will have more than 45 wins when they got worse this summer and Kobe isn't guaranteed to be back to start the season.

 

This team is basically an injured Kobe, Gasol, a hobbled Nash and a bunch of bench players(and a coach who doesn't coach defense). I don't see how anyone can be optimistic about the team.

[nate]

I would be surprised if they get to 45 wins honestly.

[xboom28x]

This team is full of rejects and projects. I would be surprised if they get between 35-40 wins

[Ray McKigney]

They'll win at least 50 games. Guaranteed. 

[Punk]

41-41

[Ray McKigney]

I'm just happy that piece of human garbage, Dwight Howard, is gone. Houston fans will now have to suffer through him missing 20 free throws a a game.

[Punk]

Doc Rivers said the Lakers are the best franchise in sports history.

D'Antoni had all Laker Centers bombing 3s in practice yesterday.

 

Looks like he will force feed his offense onto this team this year.

[tennischmp]

Can't wait to watch this team

[nate]

I am revising my prediction to 30-35 wins.

[Ray McKigney]

I am revising my prediction to 30-35 wins.

 

In the first half of the season?
