...look at the results. They're playing well, again. Or, I should say starting to play well again. Many players playing injured, but out there at least, and that's making a huge difference. Obviously, as it's been said over and over, too bad the injuries cost them this season, but it looks like they may show up with something for the playoffs.
Liked having Kwame back giving a presence in the middle, and Farmar's doing a good job starting. Playoffs are going to be interesting. With Kwame in the middle, we have a shot against Phx. Bring it on....Go Lake show!

yup, just wish they had more time together before the playoffs.
I hope it is a good 7 game series.

I heard through some inside sources that Don Imus has been hired as the Lakers new scout and he was talking about signing some "nappy-headed hos".

Here is hoping for a good turn out, I don't see them getting past the first round, but it would be nice if they could make it a 7 game series.

There is that doubt, just because they lost last year. BUT the suns do not play defense, so if you can some how slow down their quick offensive production, you can beat them. (As I am sure you already know) :)
The Lakers average holding them under 100 points and the Laker coaching staff has really studied the suns over the past few years. I was watching the coaching clinic and PJ and the staff were showing the fans all of the plays that the suns like to run.
Based on all of the regular season games, I think it will be close.

They don't stand a chance against the suns.......sorry bitter clipper fan and Laker, Dodger and Raider hater speaking the truth!
Atleast the Clips will get a lottery pick. Suns in 5 games :D

That will be key. So far, they haven't done that this season.

I think your right. If they show up every game, and if Kwame can get back in the middle, I think Lakers have a shot at it. No way they'll be swept.

This should be a good series. If the Lakers can split in PHX this weekend, they have a good chance for the upset.

It will be interesting to see if the Lakers can muster up some D and make it an interesting series. As is my habbit, I'll make no predictions and just watch the games...:) As long as I have no money on them, I can enjoy the games no matter what the outcome...:D

No teams in the league play much defense these days. That's why teams that play like Alex English's old Nuggets team are winning twice as many games as they ever could...:rolleyes:

But the Lakers can and have played some great defense when they clicked.
Stoudamier? Turiaf had that boy COVERED last time.

All the pressure is on the Suns the Lakers have nothing to lose which makes them dangerous. Should be interesting

Yeah, how many games behind the Suns were the Lakers this year??? And how much over .500 did the Lakers end up??? I know, let the excuses start rolling. You should probably just cut and paste all the bullshit and save some wear and tear on your keyboard. Hell, I'm sure the keyboard could type it on its' own by now, for as many excuses as it's heard all year. :notam:

Look at the post above by MayDaze. This says it all...let the pressure roll, the Lakers have everyone back now and are having lots of fun and it showed in the Sacramento game last night.

Check out this video I just found of Shaq vs a 17 year old Andrew Bynum. Shaq gets pissed and throws a swing at him lol, I remember this game. I think it was the first time they had met.
BTW: Do you think Shaq commited an over the back foul? :)

They are not 100%, BUT they are back for the first time this year.

Ok lets say they are all back for the first time, do you think they just walk out there and click??? no way, there is an adjustment period to them playing together and they dont have any time. They better just give Kobe the ball and hope he scores a 100 before barbossa decks him a couple times...:D

I hope they package their pick and Minn that we get (if not in the top 10) along with maybe kaman and get a player of substance.

I don't know though Tom, Spammit had a pretty rough day and I've still got a stalker ace in the hole that has never been played. Insane knows the Lakers suck, at least deep down he does. ;)

Hmmm.....didn't ever think this thread would go this direction with haters making wagers on who they're going to "stroke" first. :confused: ;)
Haters get so flustered when the Lakers just keep going....:D
