Only 4 of their first 15 games were away from the Staple Center. FINALLY, the Lakers go on a road trip and drop the first one. I love it. They no longer have the best record in the league and they are only 2.5 games ahead of a Portland team that has played TWELVE games away from the Rose Garden. Look for the Lakers to continue to fall down the standings as the Blazers go up.
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

I agree...Lakers are in total free fall


Furthermore this isnt our first road trip....We had to fly all the way to the Staples Center to face the Clippers! A 2nd of a back to back!!!

They lost one game and it was on a last second tip in.

I'm pretty sure they'll be on top for the foreseeable future. I think you may be being a bit too optimistic here. I hope you're right though.
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

Yea...because one loss is going to make this team absolutely collapse.

Despite the loss, the Lakers are still the best team the West and arguably the best in the NBA. They're probably the deepest team in the league, they have more offensive weapons than any other team, and despite tonight's showing, they do actually play much better defense than what they did last year.

I'm not worried. At all. The last time we lost, we ended up winning what, 8 in a row? Something like that. Yea, I'm not worried. Talk to me about this loss if we drop a couple more games.

Nope. You guys are done with. Over. Finished. Your season is undone, the place at the top of the Western Conference? Fool's gold. You've got a knuckle-sandwich filled with reality flying your way buddy. This loss unveiled everything. EVERYTHING! Like the Celtics (and their double digit loss to the Pacers wasn't it?) the year is doomed.

You should just stop playing now - it can only get worse.
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

Yeah, I'm not going to hold my breath just yet. But here's some interesting numbers:

Last ten games:

Portland (8-2), margin of victory: +11.3, road games: 6
Los Angeles (8-2), margin of victory: +9.4, road games: 3

I'm telling you, it's only a matter of time before the Lakers are only winning by eight points per game. Maybe even seven.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A) The Celtics are currently the best in the NBA. They are champs and have a better record. There's no argument.

B) The Blazers are the deepest team in the league.

C) You better believe I'll talk about this loss when you drop a couple more games. Those days will come soon.

BTW, they had so many "fans" whining after the loss that their forum crashed for four hours. Now, you can't tell me you aren't the least bit concerned about this game.

Why are DaRizzle and KingSpeed trying to transform the Blazers board into a Lakers discussion place?

It is not enough that the Blazers win. The Lakers must also lose before happiness is complete in Rip City.
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

So is it OK to post a thread about the Lakers downfall but not OK to talk about how good the Lakers is?

;)
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

While rumors of the Lakers' demise are, alas, premature, it is true that they've had a cupcake schedule. One of their "road" games was against the Clippers, so all they had to do was change uniforms. The Clipper game was also their only back to back, and again involved no travel except to the visitors' locker room.

Yes, they've played very well. Sad but true. But they've sure gotten a lot of help. Will they be so dominating on their own (well, they will still play 8 on 5, except maybe against Boston)?

Well at least it's good to know that "chicken little" syndrome isn't just restricted to Blazers' game threads.

Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

What's most interesting about this loss is that the Lakers' defense completely fell apart in the fourth quarter. Their offense is fine: they looked like they killed off the pesky Pacers with a 17-0 run to end the third. But then came the fourth and they just fell apart. Flashback, anyone? And their defense was supposed to be what took them over the top this year.

Now, is their defense in general getting worse, or is it something about the Pacers? Were they zoning and the Pacers hitting outside shots? Or is it that the Pacers, like the other team to beat the Lakers, Detroit, have a very zippy little PG? Anyone see the game and care to comment?
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

The pacers also beat the Celtics...

you aren't going to win them all. LA still has the 2nd best record in the NBA... and they lost on the road in the last second.

What is odd is that the Lakers only have 2 losses but they are both to the east. Interesting...

How much were they ahead by going into the fourth quarter? If you're up by 15 with 12 minutes to go, then it's a bit more of a disaster when you lose at the last second. (As every Portland fan knows. The word "meltdown" springs to mind.)

Isn't that the same sort of stuff that ruined the other forum? You do realize, even though the Lakers suck, they are our closest competition and banter amongst competition is a good thing.
 
Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

This truly is a premature and retarded thread. But I like the premise none-the-less.

I think its severe overreaction. You don't win every game... They didn't play well down the stretch. Are they suppost to play well all 48 minutes and win every game?
