The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[Tank]

I think they're a .500 team, at best. They will struggle to get to 40 wins. 

 

yep. no way anyone should expect anything more than this from them at this point.

[Jay]

If I was a betting man, I would take Houston -13 tonight.

looking good so far

[tennischmp]

looking good so far

knowing the Lakers they will go to sleep in the 2nd half and Houston will still cover

[Punk]

LOL

Steve Blake!

[Agalloch]

Yeah, Blake! Suck it, Howard!

[SoWhat]

That was ****ing awesome

[tennischmp]

Back to 500!

[Angel Oracle]

Hack-A-Howard works to perfection, 5-16 FTs!

That's a game I never thought they would win, especially losing a 14 pt. halftime lead and trailing by 6 with 2:00 to play.

[tennischmp]

1st road victory!

[Ray McKigney]

Great win. Howard sucks. 

[Punk]

We only had 15 FTA. James Harden had more FTA than the entire Lakers team.

I post on basketball forum and Rockets fans are blaming Kevin McHale for the loss, lol. I guess they think their team deserved the win after shooting 37 percent from the field and going 7-27 from downtown. The game should've never even been that close.

This is why I don't bet on sports.

[Jay]

Great win. Howard sucks. 

 

He's a bum.

[Angel Oracle]

It's pretty bad when a 7 footer with Howard's strength and athleticism can only muster 5 FGs against a porous Lakers post defense (to put it mildly).    Jordan Hill is the ONLY post player on this team who understands what the word defense even means. 

 

Don't miss him!

O'Antoni should have been fired after that atrocious 1st quarter. I don't care what kind of team you have, no excuse to give up 47 points to the f-ing TWolves

[Ray McKigney]

D'Antoni's a clueless hack. Notice he turned to Jordan Hill way earlier this game because they fell so far behind. Why doesn't he put Hill in earlier in games when the score is close? D'Antoni makes Mike Brown look like Phil Jackson. I'm having a hard time watching games this season because I get so frustrated with the rotations.

22 game win streak against Minnesota is over. Last time they beat us was 2007.

[DW711]

Nash is done (he's still one of my favorite players), Kobes still out. Steve Blake is among the top two current players.

 

47 points in a quarter is hideous (even if Minnesota is improving), but I don't know how much you can blame the coach for this.

[St1ck]

I didn't watch last night's game. I'm assuming they won.
