**the official la lakers thread**

yeah but look at the teams you're comparing.

San Antonio and Houston have much better interior defense than Warriors and Blazers.

you have to look at the team as a whole and how they're much more into the games on both ends of the floor since Kobe left. They actually feel like their a part of the team.

you might have a point about spurs and rockets having better d.

but how much better? houston isn't that much better.

spurs is but they played a lot of scrubs, duncan barely played 2 quarters.

enough for 9-14% fg difference?

because 36-37% fg is FAR below their average shooting %.

and portland was on the road where lakers never win.


lakers are playing harder (not necessarily better) without kobe.

d has been good but the o has been awful.

also, Kobe didn't take a lot of shots in his last couple of games when he was playing 48mins. Trying to catch Kareem's all-time mark became 2nd priority after winning cuz Lakers had to make the playoffs. So Kobe was taking less than 20shots per game even though he was playing 48mins. Had he done that all year, Lakers would be a top 4 team in the west.

LMFAO

the last 2 games w/ kobe was his ballhog games.

he took like 30 shots against warriors (more if he hadn't got hurt) and almost 40 shots against blazers.

kobe has been ballhogging the past 8 games or so.

that's why he avg 38 pts in those games. also why they went 7-1.


his ballhogging early in the season had nothing to do with catching kareem. (he's like 4 seasons away from that)

nash and blake missed 20-25 games at the start of the season due to a broken leg and abdominal tear.

dwight and pau also wasn't healthy and dantoni benched pau and cut his minutes.

just be quiet. it's so obvious you weren't watching.

next Friday or Sunday?

mak, kswizzy thinks kobe was taking less shots against blazers and warriors.

the youtube highlights musta been real short then

they must've editted out the part when kobe and lillard was duelling and kobe and lillard each had like 35 pts in the first half.

the youtube highlights musta been real short then

espn forecasts spurs win in 5

out of 105 espn "experts", only 5 of the 105 picked lakers.

FAO: ****** known as swizzy

lakers are covered by 5 local newspapers, several radio stations and by like 7 local tv stations (not including those in other languages)

we not only do we watch every lakers game live we also watch the game replay, the pregame and post game shows and the highlight replay, we also watch the backstage lakers tv show.

we're also listening to the lakers radio when we're driving to and from work.

plus we follow the lakers more when they suck. when they're cruising to titles we can miss meaningless games and easy wins.

when they stink, we watch every minute of every crappy game to see if they win or lose.

you're not qualified to talk to us just because you saw the box score and saw highlights on youtube.
