Are you REALLY comparing this LA team to that 2001 team? CP help my dude out PLEASE.

True, i consider him an idiot though not a troll so its all good
I have this team closer to the 02 team myself.
And quite possibly, the 03 team. But hoping for the ball to go in this time.
(Those of you that don't get that reference, it's the Robert Horry shot in game 5 that went in and out heartbreak. If that shot goes in, we go back to LA UP 3-2 instead of down 3-2.) Changed the whole season.

you're a clown for asking CP to help your argument. im not comparing them by the players and their capabilties. theres no way im comparing a shaq in his prime with pau here. i merely see similarities due to that both teams had bad losses to bad teams.
CP, i can see '02 as well.

Jerry West is very appreciated for what he has done on the court for the Lakers and especially off the court for the organization. Well deserved.

within a few years of shaq retiring they'll be buddy buddy, shaq will have his number retired like he deserves to, and everything will be just fine. it's been 7 years since everything happens, time heals all wounds and one way or another i feel shaq would be playing this long regardless so he woulda inevitably left the lakers regardless so he could still play and get decent minutes.
now regarding the lakers, ill look at the big win in boston and wins over a decent hornets team and a decent knicks team when i think of this road trip and try to disregard the bad.
moving on, there's 25 games left in the season and the team is 8.5 games behind the spurs, catching them is all but impossible but with 2 more games against the spurs the possiblity to gain ground on them is there.
however their 3.5 games behind the team with the 2nd best record. it's a realistic goal to catch boston, miami, dallas, and chicago. the lakers gotta try and gain 1 game in the standings each week, from here on out. a series with the first 2 games in san antonio is all but a given, but the lakers have 25 games to try and get home court for a potential series against dallas, miami, chicago, or boston. their in the situation their in due to losing stupid games they shouldn't lose but every team has those it just seems the lakers make it more of a habit then those other teams do. say for example, the lakers beat the bobcats and cavs on this trip, 2 games they should win, they'd be 40-17 and only 1.5 games back on boston and miami for the 2nd best record in the league. those type of losses eventually come back to haunt you.

what makes me feel positive is that despite playing like crap, losing inexcusable games, and flat out underacheiving this year, their only 3.5 games behind the celtics and heat. 2.5 behind dallas and 1.5 behind the bulls.
25 game to gain 3.5 games is doable. it's not easy when those teams are most likely going to keep winning consistently as well but it's possible.
without underestimating the spurs, ill say that i think the lakers can beat them without home court, if the lakers are playing the way they should be playing. however there's been 5 nba finals game 7's since 1980 and the home team has won each and every one of them. my main thing i want, is for the lakers to hopefully catch boston and miami or at least one of them because home court in the finals is way more important then home court in the conference finals or 2nd round.
bottom line is the lakers got 25 games to put themselves in a better position then they currently are in to be able to defend their title. having home court for 1 series then having to go on the road the rest of the way is going to be real tough as it would be for any team to have to win 3 straight series without home court to repeat. they put themselves in this situation by losing games like the cleveland game, the memphis, sacramento, and indiana games at home etc. every team has those "what the hell were we doing games" but the lakers tend to make it a habit, the past 2 seasons there was no one close to them record wise in the west but now that they have legit competition in the west each of those crappy loses hurts way more.

Supposedly he got served paternity papers at a game the other day. Not just that, someone here on NT said he had been paying off his baby mama to go live in Italy or something. Now it looks like she's back and with the help of some lawyers slapped KB with a paternity suit. If this turns out to be true, then the second half of the season is going to be a nightmare! Eagle County Colorado all over again... smh

This is why I laugh when people question if Shaq will get his jersey retired.
He had a seat reserved for him.
It's like do they think Jerry Buss doesn't appreciate what he did? Look how tight knit that Laker family is.
In regards to Kobe, I'm sure he had "All-Star" obligations to go to, promos etc..

don't deny that there are rumors out there. I'm not saying they are true, I wouldn't know. I'm just saying people are talking about it and he skipped the media 3 times in a row until now.
