Also found this amazing video of Dwayne Wades career highlights. Just amazing what this guy is capable of sometimes its a throw up b/w Lebron and Wade for me. Just great players. Take a look at it if you have some time to spare. Just awesome.

That was directed at your photo more at the game last night.

Lakes need another perimeter scorer more than another big man IMO.

Also, the Clippers lost last night to Minnesota so I'm not too mad about the Lakers losing

Ohhhhh alright yea. LOL. yeah they def need another guard.

Gasol has got to go. He just doesn't look like he doesn't want to play and that goes for last year also. He seems like he got 2 rings and he's satisfied and has no fire or will to win. World Peace is garbage and needs to leave along with Fisher. Hell everyone but Kobe and Bynum need to be traded. This team is terrible right now and an easy 1st round elimination and no way dream of a championship with this roster. I'm a big time Laker fan and it's tough to watch.

Call me crazy, I just think the Lakers need time and have the pieces in place.

Just like anything, when you have a ton of changes it takes time for things to come together. The current NFL season was a perfect example of this in that the traditionally better & older teams needed more time to get going but in the end the top tier teams got it together.

I won't play the blame game, and I'm not going to panic!

i think its going to be the lakers rebuilding season.

Waiz · 01-23-2012, 02:47 PM

Celtics are done, Lakers just need time

Jamaica · 01-23-2012, 02:50 PM

its a rebuilding season. Celtics made stupid moves. But numbers dont lie thou. We are still up one!

Lakers are gonna be ok, I'll wait until the trade deadline to pass any judgement. I agree with Wais though, I think we need a decent perimeter shooter than another big man but D.Howard can only help...Kobe doesn't trust anyone for sh*t, reminds me of the years he was playing with...oh wait, Kobe's never trusted anyone for sh*t. He needs to start pretending like Pau and Bynum are the guys he won championships with, if he draws the double play and dishes out to one of those two inside the paint 8 out of 10 times we're getting a basket.

Mike Brown is definitely falling off, I liked his energy at first but the way he's using Pau really doesn't make sense as Phelan said...If I see Pau take another three I'm gonna drive down there and punch someone.

The Lakers are suffering from no leadership. Every great team needs a point guard that can set the pace of the offense. Just as Rondo does for the Celtics, just as Derrick Rose does for the Bulls, Just as Steve Nash does for the Suns, Just as CP does for the clippers. They need a strong guard (no Kobe is not going to cut it anymore)> They need someone who can LEAD the team and create offensives opportunities. In order for a team to play dynamically and well rounded, they need someone to lead their offense, someone who isnt afraid to shoot, and can most of all set up and feed plays. Right now, the Lakers dont have that, hence their lack of offensive hustle.

Waiz · 01-23-2012, 10:32 PM

But they haven't had a PG for a long time and have won several championships without one.

I'm still sticking to my guns and staying patient. I would bet the farm no one is traded and they will get it together.

nmjaxx9 · 01-23-2012, 10:37 PM

Yeah with Kobe at his prime, but Kobe isnt playing like he was and cant be expected to carry the team like mentioned before, we will see, I still like the Lakers, cuz of Kobe, never lost respect for that dude, but the team HAS to step it up if they are gonna win some games and make it to play offs this season.
