Difference is when Jenna blows it the results are much better.

JaredDudley619: There's no secret that we cant make he playoffs, So Since we can't go we mine as well help ourselves out by beating the Lakers tonight!!!!

Exactly what I was talking about before. Teams want to try extra hard against the Lakers for some weird reason

also lol'd at "mine as well"

Is that 7th seed I smell? (36-32)

Sort of, unless I'm the only one getting a whif of the 6th seed too

MDAs insistence on only playing 7 even on the second game of a back to back cost us this game

This is the worst the Lakers offense has looked pretty much all season

mind = blown at people who think Kobe ruins the flow of the offense

I mean yeah he can get a little shot happy at the end of games sometimes but there's a reason he's one of the greatest offensive players ever and it's certainly not because he holds everyone else back.

Yeah, game was out of hand in the 4th. But then again, besides some dumb rebounding, I didn't see TERRIBLE defense or laziness. The suns put Scola in to space out Dwight, and they just started draining jumpshots. Meanwhile, Nash, Jamison, Dwight, Meeks and MWP were ice, ICE cold from anywhere on the court. Blake made plays, but not enough for the whole team.

Not to belabor the point, but situations like that are when you need dedicated scorers like Kobe to steady the ship. Ah well.

Too old ... sums up perfectly our season ... can't play two nights in a row and a ton of injuries ...

Need to get some young and 2 way players ... not that Meeks garbage

I didn't think Meeks played too bad, actually. He bricked some shots, but he was active and made a few really nice plays.

One of the biggest takeaways here is:

Dwight's offensive game is still nowhere near ready for primetime.

If you want post scoring without Kobe, let MWP mess around in there. Dwight is a massive liability 1 on 1 unless he has crazy deep position.

I had hoped otherwise but I mentioned that I thought this was going to be a tough game to get over. The back to back with the short rotation and down two of our big 4 were all killers. Luckily we're off til Friday. Hopefully we'll get back one or two of Kobe and Gasol very soon. We need them.

WMC- Everything. That is all.

The Wizards are 5-25 on the road

God help us if we lose that game

It's okay, they tried. They played two great games as a team previously but that's okay tonight, it just wasn't our night.

76 points ? WTF

Well, going into this game the Suns were only a handful of teams with a sub .500 record at home this late in the season.

And we lost to them by 20 while scoring almost 30 points below our average.

Kobe ruins the offence, haven't you heard? He MUST have had something to do with this!!!

He's always active .. he's just not a good player

The Lakers are now 2 losses behind Utah (Utah owns the tiebreaker), potentially 3 losses behind Houston (they currently lead the series 2-1 with one game to go) and are 3 losses behind Golden State. With only 13 games to go, the Lakers have to hope that all the teams ahead of them lose at least 2 or more times than they do from here on out.

Basically this loss really puts making the playoffs into jeopardy. Although the Lakers are currently ahead of Utah in the standings, that's only because they've played 3 more games than the Jazz, and just one more win puts Utah back in the 8th spot.

Let's hope Utah loses tonight to New York, which will greatly ease the sting of this loss.

lol. Easy now.

Where are all the idiots now saying that this is a better team without Kobe? Blown out by the Suns. Pathetic.

Something tells me UTA might lose tonight. Then, they have to play HOU on the road and after that -- SAS on the road.

Other teams play b2b too and can win against better competition. ..we shouldn't give these guys tired excuse bs...not like sac took a whole lotta effort.
