It's one thing that they're only 8-9 but are you aware that TWELVE of those games were at HOME? Things are about to get worse for these duds.
 
What I have learned many times as a Laker hater; never think they are dead. They have Stern to make damn sure they are one of the top tier teams in the league.

I remembered the year they had a shitty record in the first half of the season; only to come back and win it all. So yeah, I won't make fun until the season is over. Until then, I stay quiet and smirk at every loss.

That never happened. It was 2002-03 that they started out with a bad record. They were several games below .500 halfway into the season. They recovered and got a 4 or 5 seed but they got manhandled by the Spurs in the second round. 28 point buttkicking in Game 6. Kobe cried and then went to Colorado and took it out on a helpless white girl.

During the years that they won it all, they played well during the season. The last time the Lakes truly sucked was 04-05. They didn't make the playoffs. They got the 10th pick and drafted Bynum. The next two seasons, they got bounced in the first round. Good times.
 
Garbage that still has a better record than Portland.

The Lakers have played 12 games at home. We have played 7. We've won 4 road games. They've only won one. We're a decent team. The Lakers are garbage. 12 of 17 games at home and you can't play .500 ball? Fire the coach again?

For the moment. But we beat them and they had Nash. Nash, Kobe, Dwight Howard, Pau, Jamison, cover of SI "Now this is gonna be fun!" and they can't play .500 ball. We're very young and still learning but three of our starters would start on the Lakers. By tomorrow night, we'll have a better record than the Lakers.

Go Rockets.

Who's Oliver. I changed my post, btw. Made it more succinct. The Lakers record is actually worse than ours when looking at schedule.
 
Lakers choking. They we up at least 16. They're up 4 now.
 
LOL at Clyde Drexler telling Dwight Howard to "put on his big boy pants."
 
Back in October, how many of you would have guessed that after 18 games, the Lakers & Blazers would have the EXACT same record? The Lakers are garbage. Kobe is leading the league in scoring and shooting a career best 49% & you know what? He's not as good as he used to be. I don't care what the stats say, he's a step slower and not nearly as explosive. People used to fear this man - those days are gone. And his defense isn't HALF of what it used to be. I'm so glad I get to watch his decent into mediocrity. It's not going to be pretty (for him, that is!)

how the hell is he having such a great stat year? dude has played like the equivalent of 90 seasons
 
"Bring Back Bernie Bickerstaff"- the Lakers fans right now
 
I know. Dude can still make shots. You gotta give him that. It's like power hitter in baseball - that will be the last thing to go. But he isn't active on defense anymore. Impact on games is strictly his ability to score. It's like watching MJ . . . the Washington Wizard version, that is.
 
How does Dwight Howard only get 9 shots and Jordan Hill gets 8?

If you take 25 shots a game, you better avg at least 25 points.

The Lakers are 3-0 when Jordan Hill scores in double figures. Esp with Pau out, the Lakers need offense from Hill. Get him the ball.
