ROFLMAO watching Fisher play defense without Kobe on the floor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its NOT easy to play 4 games in 5 nights. What's important is they stay healthy and pique just in time for the playoffs. I have a feeling SA will lose gas towards the end of the season.

Does it matter if the NBA is in Lockout next year? Lakers dont play in the regular season anyways. They like to waste supporters time with rubbish play and try to win us over when playoffs start.

Pathetic loss. Gasol didn't even raise his arms to defend some of Kwame's shots. I've never seen a Laker show so little heart. It was like watching a baseball game where everyone just trots to first instead of trying to beat out a throw to first. No blocking out on rebounds, no diving after loose balls, trying to run the court without the ball.

REPOST-
Dude...up till yesterday nice road trip. If the lakers end this road trip at 5-2 is it a GREAT or Average trip? And the thought of a 4-3 would bring on a MELT DOWN with the TRADE talks again. Those DREADED TRADE TALKS, the HEAT would GLADLY trade you say.....Big Z for say DREW with the BAD knee.lol

This Lakers team is Predictable, and it's a real possibility they can have another SET BACK against the Cav's. You can ride the BANDWAGON till the wheel's fall off, but it's heading off the CLIFF.

Mamba24 can try and rally the Lakerholic and give them a shot of KOOL AID or FATTY'S TONIC, it's really DRAINO a slow, slow DEATH.

To be honest with you....it's only PRACTICE it's not that SERIOUS, IT'S NOT THE PLAYOFFS.

Shannon Brown = Devan George

Dude...A betting man would never lay a DIME on the Lakers, that's just RETARED.

I beleive Phil Jackon is loosing control of the Lakers and at this moment, this team will not win the Championchip this season.

Screw the Lakers, this ain't no def. champs to me.

Make the trade!

LakerTom: Consider yourself lucky to have missed the first half of this dog of a game...

I came away thinking how desperately the Lakers need a dead-eye shooter, how badly they miss those Barnes minutes with the feisty defensive pressure he exerts, the heart he plays with. I love Ron Ron, but how good would either Gerald Wallace or Stephen Jackson look in purple and gold?

LRob suggested J.J. Redick sometime last week, I think that would be a great addition. Here's another couple names, how about youngsters Anthony Morrow or Stephen Curry? Aaron Afflalo? How good would The Jet Jason Terry look in purple and gold, have loved his jump shooting for years (yes, it is a pipedream, Cuban would never get rid of him).

One name that is probably out there, legitimately and without having to give up too much is the Cav's Daniel 'Boobie' Gibson (who, coincidentally, will be doing his own Laker-rehearsal on Wednesday). This guy is a great catch-and-shooter with a quick release. He's also a speedster and a nice defender too. He makes about $4-mill/yr.

Anyways, just throwing it out there. Shannon is either very good or very bad it seems, either hitting his shots or totally missing. When he's hot, he's great. But, his 3-pt shots are killing the Lakers at times, so is Ron Ron's.

I hate being hypercritical, but it's just so painfully obvious. Without a perimeter shot maker the defense collapses.

Tough roadtrip, it has taken it's toll on the guys, but these consecutive losses have shone a spotlight on the Lakers deficiencies. At times I was almost hoping Chuck Person would run into the dressing room and put on a Laker uni, I bet at his age he could probably still shoot better at his age than what they were doing today...

Oh well, flush this one down. Only the Cavs stand between them and much-needed rest at the all-star break. I am afraid though, if they bring as little energy Wednesday vs Cleveland as they did today, well it might get very ugly...

OMG TOO FUNNY! Ron Ron spraying Unbreakable on John Ireland on LTV postgame. Priceless...

AS ALWAYS - AND FOREVER - GO LAKERS!!!!!!

Oh, there's another great shooter out there, better than all of them: 'Melo. Oh, and one more, a killer distributor to boot: Chauncey Billups.

Just saying.

AS ALWAYS - AND FOREVER - GO LAKERS!!!!!!

MO WILLIAMS STINKS! (that is for you 888 if you are out there!)

Cancun! Cancun! Cancun!

You take a team with players who would be garbage time players on any other team, Fisher, Walton, Brown and you wonder why the bench production is so low and the PG play is so bad??? Artest should not be parked out on the 3 point line. He should be down on the block to rebound. Fisher shouldn't even be in the league. Walton should retire. Ebanks should have been given a chance to play so that even if he has a bad year, he can develop. The Lakers need some more banger types to get offensive rebounds and score. The only players Lakers have who does this, and only occasionally, is Odom. Bynum and Gasol, as big as they are, are terrible rebounders.

Laker 17- Dude slowdown bro, you appear to be having a MELTDOWN, I understand your PASSION for the team. But relax, It's not that SERIOUS.

Great ideas here tonight.

Let's trade Luke and Fish for Curry, G Wallace, Lebron, D Howard and Melo with Chauncey. Get it done, Mitch!

The only thing certain about after loss predictions of doom: as the Lakers do move through the playoffs, the predictors will be MIA.

This is a shame for Laker Nation.
I think Phil Jackson has had enough. I bet he wants Mitch to make a trade right now.
THIS TEAM AIN'T SHOWNING HEART OF A CHAMPION.
Trade Bynum, Artest, for Melo and Bill-ups.
Trade Walton for O.J Mayo.
Trade Fisher for a better defensive better.
Trade cen Gasol, so that he could wake and say "Wake up!!"
And Bynum says"I don't know man."

Jon K has mentioned how the Cavs fans all miss Shannon Brown. Well, how about Shannon/Joe Smith or Ratliff for Boobie Gibson? They get to 'correct' their bad trade, get back an old favorite who has one more year left on his deal.

What up Cyber, Don't mean to rain on that trade parade. I have to. It won't happen, Shannon would exercise his bird rights, which he should use to his benefit, and would veto any trade. His agent released a statement, after Brown re-signed, that stated, Shannon's prime intention was being part of a 3 peat squad, Brown has played very well in Boston and New York.

4 games in 5 nights, might go bad for a lot of reasons. These things happen, I've seen it before time and time again in sports. This year look up 'Green Bay Packers 2010' season, a lot of hard done by in that team.

Look, I understand, as fans, we all feel a sense of pride, agony, it's almost a strangelove that some fans and squads and players have.
As a blog, I say, we're all in this together. Whether we differ on opinions, players, each other, win or lose, and that's the way it should be with fans.

I look at the Lakers this year, I've been doing a lot of meditation, and I keep coming back to Bruce Lee. Lee had such a simple way of communicating, it struck me, wise beyond his years. Through himself and martial arts, I have learned a sort of discipline in life and spirit.

In a combative battle between men, you have the natural ability (instinct) of men, who have been trained into that battle, than you have control (execution). If you have an extreme of one or the other, very unscientific, or mechanical. A successful combination of the synergy (yin/yang), you harmony.

I've seen, harmony in this squad, on this trip, in this season, I've also seen the natural ability of this squad and control (consistency) become very erratic. It's interesting. It makes for interesting talk, relevelant or not, makes for good reading/writing material. This Lakers team has been to the Finals three straight years and have a formidable squad when measured up to the other two. I see no reason, not to believe in the successful combination of our natural ability and control. They been through the Foxhole and come out the other side, bright and clear time and time again. I have no reason to believe, the men, together, will not find a way again this year.

Our Champs flipped the switch again, it used to be L means losing time, this one is lazy-dozy plays, 4-2 is good enough so let's just play good during the playoffs. It used to be when you are a Champ you dominate the league, every game is a challenge to one's manhood of being the title holder. If you lose a game, people will accuse you of betting against yourself. This team is composed of spoiled brats, inconsistent, irresponsible to their fans, city and lastly, irrelevant to what a basketball champs is all about. It is reality basketball made for twitters, fantasizing when playing and waiting for the 2nd season. Nuff said, I won't bother to waste intelligence in analyzing laziness.

This was an UGLY game by the Laker team. I did not even watch the whole game I was sick of watching Fisher get eaten up by faster better shooting guard Augustin. Fisher is the weak link for the Lakers and he should be the first to go. Mitch should think about Bynum for Melo trade with only a few days left. Pau needs to man up and lift some weights. He cannot even make free throws and neither can Lamar. Kobe is the "turn over" king as all his passes go to the opposite team. Why is Walton playing ?? The Lakers are not playng like the NBA champions and show NO pride in their game. Really sad.
