-Miami(fair enough, good win)
-Kings(5-21 on the road, so very predictable)
-Magic(2-21 in their last 23 games)
-Clippers(minus Chris Paul they are an average team, lost last 7 of 9, including one to the Wizards)
-Lakers(no Pau, Howard looking a shadow of himself and a Lakers team with losing record)

Yes, the Celtics have done well....but not that well.

I'll give you the Kings, Magic and Lakers game.

In other news, it's been a year since Linsanity.
 
So many turnovers. So many lay-ups. So easy for the fecking Charlotte Bobcats.

Kobe has 0 points at HT. Hell must've frozen over.
 
Even if we beat Charlotte, we should be embarrassed.

When none of your millionaire players can outscore Byron Mullens you know you have problems. Hell, I bet most nba fans don't even know Mullens exists.
 
Lakers win. Truly embarrassing effort but we win. Amazing.

It's kind of sad when you have that roster and Meeks is your best player of the game.

Kobe woke up in the second half. All is good with the world again.

Come on.. Give them credit. They come back after being down 20 away from home, to win it in the end!

The Lakers are doing everything they need to do now to make it to the playoffs.

We'll be one and done.

At least the Clippers are losing. It's funny how well they've played this season and despite being a possible contender for the West, people still talk about the Lakers and hardly mention the other LA side.
 
I don't know if I should laugh at this beating the Heat are handing out to the Clippers or cry knowing the Lakers and our wonderful defense are in Miami next up.

It will be a very close game against the Lakers. The Clippers seem a bit rusty because of many injured players coming back all at once, and they have been very poor in their rotations allowing Miami many (many) open three pointers.

Howard will kill Miami on the boards, and Bryant will keep scoring no matter what.. Will be a very enjoyable encounter.
 
They are playing in Miami. I don't think the game is even going to be close. I know over the last 10 games the Lakers have lost only 1 but still there is no way we are beating the Heat in Miami.

And regarding the Clippers vs Heat, when DJ is your top scorer, you dont really have a chance of beating anyone let alone the champions.
 
James scores 30 points taking only 11 shots and sitting the whole 4th quarter! :eek:

RDCR07, we'll see, I expect it to be a single digit win for the Heat or the Lakers, with the Heat being the favorite to win.
 
Do you honestly not have faith in your team winning this one? Or is this one of the "I-know-they-will-win-but-Im-going-for-the-pessimistic-approach"?

I honestly have no faith in Lakers winning away from home against the Champions.
 
Yeah but I bet you didn't expect a double digit win for the Pistons over the best team in the league so we all know what your predictions are worth!

:lol: You really are like the real life Eboue! You're hilarious sometimes.

I even said the Heat are still the favorites. :confused: But I don't think it will be a blowout, honestly..

You guys seem to go a bit over the top in your reactions.. The Lakers are doing a better job at the moment than you're giving them credit for. The numbers don't lie. Don't watch the games, just look at the Ws and the Ls, and you'll see that the Lakers are doing a very good job at the moment. They know how to grind out the wins, and that's very important.

Of course it's only a prediction, but that's honestly how I see it..

And by the way, I think the race in the end will be between the Lakers and the Jazz for the final playoff spot.

On the road? Without Duncan? Wouldn't bet against a win for Detroit.

Great win though. Congratulations.
 
You are kidding me right? Lets have a look at his stats shall we?

2010-2011 season: 18.8 points, 10.2 rebs, 1.6 blocks, 52.9% FG% and 82.3% FT%

2012-2013 season: 13.4 points, 8.0 rebs, 1.3 blocks, 45.3% FG5 and 70.6% FT%

He is averaging career low in points, FG%, blocks, rebounds (offensive and defensive rebs in general are worst as well), 2nd worst FT% of his career.

Watch his game before criticising his numbers.

Career low in points, FG% and rebounds are all because he's being forced to play further from the boards than he usually plays in previous seasons. Add that to his injury problems and lowered minutes, you really think he's going to get anywhere near his career averages?

When the Lakers finally decide to play Gasol properly again, I've no doubts that Gasol's stats will improve back to his career averages again.

I think he is getting like 3 minutes less than what he got over the previous seasons with the Lakers.
 


:lol: that was good from Bron-Bron.

The guy in the crowd had been to the SuperBowl and then got to play catch with James. He also showed a picture of him with Jeff Van Gundy from Honduras. He's quite a celebrity now.
 
So how does the league work then? Seems it's west vs east conference based, but Miami Heat playing LA Clippers and now Lakers?

or do they just all play each other and split the table out?
 
Hmm, Lakers v Miami. Going to watch this, hopefully Laker's play their A-Game. I'll try to stay up as long as its close.
 
Lakers lead 26-25 at the end of 1st. Been playing well, just a little sloppy, in losing the ball, and not finishing at times.
 
This is what I'm rooting for

Lakers doing much better than I expected.
 
We're doing well, even though i don't see the intensity from most players. We seem lazy to get some rebounds resulting in them getting offensive rebounds. Still we're doing decent.
 
Tie game at the half. We really need to continue this type of play, and not lag behind. Honestly, I think we'll lose this.
 
Good half for the Lakers. A win today would be a big boost. Need to improve FT shooting and do a better job on the boards.

Hopefully Bron-Bron fouls out. The fecker just can't stop scoring the past few games.
 
The constant bitching between players has to stop.
 
Lakers D has been better today but we can't stop them getting offensive rebounds.

LeBron is a cnut.
 
Told ya' Lakers would lose. But surprising it was close till the 2nd half of the 4th quarter. Turnovers the last quarter just killed us.
 
Turnovers in the 4th quarter and lack of rebounds all game cost us big time.

Miami's D was very good in the second half, particularly the 4th. Bron-Bron is on fire right now.

Howard's body-language is pathetic at times.
