Guess who has a better record than my beloved L*kers?

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

[3RA1N1AC]

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I'll....be....OK *sob* It might be a *sniff* 0-4 road trip though....

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This warms my heart.

All Buss has to do is kiss Phil's feet and present him with the head of D'Antoni, and all will be well again.

 

[ABM]

K*be scored 42 in the loss. Aren't the L*kers, like, winless when he scores 35+?

Dear Jerry,

Karma's a BITCH, isn't it?

Waiting for D'Antoni to get fired, collect his serious coin that was due over a few years, and LA to bow to Phil's demands. I freaking cannot wait.

It's a little like waiting for Christmas to come, huh?

No, Christmas is for my kids - that's how I get my enjoyment out of Christmas as an adult.

The anticipation of the Lakers' saga.... It's like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Summer Break all in one.

then all my laker friends on FB will start going off about "now we're ready to roll" and about how all the "haters" can go back into hiding!

Still, even if they suddenly start winning, it'll be funny as f***, no?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

i hope they continue to get fucked and miss the playoffs. would be awesome.

now all i need is for the dodgers to fall on their face, and i will live the rest of my days with a big shit eating grin

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm almost having more fun watching the Lakers lose than I am watching the Blazers win. And it happens more often, lol! Their next game in NYC is a bonafide loss to the Knicks. That makes them 9-14 going into the game of the year at Washington. This is hilarious. Apparently, the Lakers are "seeking other options at PG" because they can't wait for Nash whose situation is unclear. They're considering Delonte West and Eddie House. Why doesn't Eddie House play for us by the way?

 

[THE HCP]

Has a team ever had 3 coaches in 1 season?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

They did that last season. Remember when they were gonna win the NL West after all their deadline deals? Go Giants!!

 

[Boob-No-More]

The Lakers are currently the 3rd best team in California - and it's not even close. When was the last time the Lakers trailed the Clippers by 6.5 games and the Warriors by 5.5 games - at the same time? Has that EVER happened?

Oh, and they're only one game away from being the worst team in California. Wouldn't that be something - to see the Lakers looking up to the Clippers, Warriors and Kings - all at the same time!

[Boob-No-More]

Well, I didn't check every season, but the Lakers have only missed the playoffs twice since the Clippers moved to California (Sand Diego in 78-79 and subsequently L.A. in 84-85), and at least one of the Warriors or Clippers finished behind them in those two seasons.

Again, I didn't do an exhaustive search, but near as I can tell, the last time the Lakers trailed those two franchises by as much as they currently do was probably 1974-75 when the Warriors, lead by Rick Barry (30.6ppg) were the NBA champions, the then Buffalo Braves were the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference, led by MVP and scoring leader Bob McAdoo (34.5ppg, 14.1 rpg) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was still playing for the Milwaukee Bucks.

I'd like to know that

 

[Boob-No-More]

Has a team ever had 3 coaches in 1 season?

Umm... yeah. The Lakers have already had three coaches this season:

Mike Brown (1-4), Bernie Bickerstaff (4-1), Mike D'Antoni (4-7)

Looks like they should have kept Bernie.

So, the real question is, has any team ever had four coaches in one season. The answer is yes, twice.

The 1981-82 Cleveland Cavaliers:
Don Delaney (4-11), Bob Kloppenburg (0-3), Chuck Daly (9-32), Bill Musselman (2-21)

The 1988-89 Indian Pacer:
Jack Ramsay (0-7), Mel Daniels (0-2), George Irvine (6-14), Dick Versace (22-31)

Actually, three head coaches in one season is fairly common, as a team fires one head coach and names an interim head coach while they search for a "permanent" replacement. This is the third time in team history that the Lakers have had three head coaches in one season.

1998-99 Los Angeles Lakers:
Del Harris (6-6), Bill Bertka (1-0), Kurt Rambis (24-13)

and most famously:
1994-95 Los Angeles Lakers:
Randy Pfund (27-37), Bill Bertka (1-1), Magic Johnson (5-11)

By one game. If they win the lottery, we won't be laughing.

Hollinger says they can't win the lotto because of something with their pick. The best part!

Yeah they traded it didn't they? I thought this was how they got Howard.

In that case I hope they don't win another game.

 

[magnifier661]

Okay I looked it up and Hollinger said this:

The Lakers' playoff chances
The Lakers project to have a 55.5 percent chance to make the playoffs right now, which puts two interesting prospects in play.

First, did you realize that if the Lakers miss the playoffs, Phoenix ends up with a lottery pick? I have a feeling the Suns weren't really banking on this, and probably still aren't. But they can dare to dream, right?

Second, and more importantly, it shows just how much of a battle it's going to be for the Lakers to get into a decent playoff position. The Lakers have had injuries, yes, but look around them in the Playoff Odds: Minnesota and Dallas both have had their share of calamity, and Golden State is without its star center. The Lakers may eventually outdistance all these teams, but we've played a quarter of the season and they're tied for 11th place in the conference.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i think its some convoluted mess of the suns own their pick if it is top 14, and the cavs can swap it for any one of miami/sac/their own if it is 14-30

so if they finish in the #1-#14, they lose it to the suns for nash

if they finish #15 and up, they likely get it swapped out for miamis pick, which cleveland owns

You guys are breaking my heart.........

Now you're talking about my beloved L*kers missing the playoffs?

I am crying big purple and piss alligator rapist tears!

Don't worry, all of your problems will be solved once the Lakers sign Delonte West.

Hahahahahaha! The savior!

I was getting worried about you yesterday, not seeing you post anything. I thought maybe you went shopping at CTC (not cut the check).
