The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[Agalloch]

Now we face the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center to destroy that momentum..

[Punk]

Hopefully we can get a win in Denver.

[OregonLAA]

Winning in Denver is damn near impossible. The Lakers have an easy road, but I'm hoping the Rockets hold on to that last spot

[Punk]

Rockets might end up moving up to the 7th spot.

 

Utah lost tonight.

[OregonLAA]

I could see Utah not making the playoffs before the Rockets definitely. I thought the Mavs had a good shot, but that loss against the Lakers was a huge blow to them

[Ray McKigney]

It doesn't really matter. Even if they make the playoffs they don't stand a chance against San Antonio or OKC. I hate to say it, but this year is over and has been for a long time. That being said, I love their chances of winning everything!

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

All it takes is a hot streak at the right time.

[Punk]

Yes! Houston lost tonight. Keep the L's coming, H-Town.

 

Utah might lose tonight as well.

[Ray McKigney]

They both lost. I hope the Lakers don't blow it tomorrow against Minnesota.

[Punk]

Our remaining schedule isn't that tough.

 

This team shouldn't lose more than 6 games this second half. Then again, this team always finds a way to lose.

[Ray McKigney]

If they lose more than 6, they won't make the playoffs.

[Ray McKigney]

Just heard that Nash is listed as day-to-day with back spasms. Great...

[Punk]

Good win.

 

Bring on the Hawks

[Ray McKigney]

All this crap to try to make the playoffs. Then they have to play OKC or San Antonio. What's the point?

[Punk]

Who doesn't want to see their team in the playoffs? I'd rather make the playoffs and lose than not make the playoffs at all. This team is built to win a championship. It's not like we have nothing but scrubs. You never know what can happen.

 

Wouldn't you want the Angels to make the playoffs even though you felt like they didn't stand a chance?

[NrM]

All this crap to try to make the playoffs. Then they have to play OKC or San Antonio. What's the point?

I think they could beat any team in the West in the playoffs.

They're too talented not to have a shot.

[Angel Oracle]

One more win to get to .500 for the first time in 2 months

 

Now the question is, with Gasol allegedly on schedule to return in about 3-4 weeks, do they put him into the lineup or decide to not tinker with it and have him be the first frontcourt player off of the bench?

[Jay]

pretty awesome

[Ray McKigney]

That dunk was insane.

[Agalloch]

I rewound that dunk 4 or 5 times.

[Punk]

and they say that he's too old. 

 

 

 

[nando714]

Wow 20-0 run last 6+ min....yes its NOLA but that's impressive and shows character

Now comin home for 2

[Lhalo]

Kobe cannot be stopped right now.

[Spencer]

Unbelievable comeback.

Now if only MWP would learn to never shoot the ball, especially from 3 point range, when the game is close. I counted like 2 or 3 times tonight when the Lakers could have tied, taken the lead, or brought the game within a point or two, and Metta gets the ball and immediately puts up a brick from behind the arc. Stupid.
