mwp sometimes is so dumb for every good play he makes he has at least 2 or 3 bonehead plays

Please the Cowboys future is way brighter.

Dez Bryant is a monster gonna be the best wideout in the game, Sean Lee and Bruce Carter are gonna be the top middle line backer combo, we're gonna draft Reid and have a bad a** secondary, and once we get an offensive line we gonna be legit.

Bill Simmons eyes are effed up. He looks like he's a walker in, "The Walking Dead".

But how quickly everyone will forget that when saying how they got ahead in this game. BS foul calls change games plain and simple. WHat is more interesting is people will say, "OMG OKC plays great defense on us thats why we aren't in the game." When the truth is we are missing wide open shots. The same shots our team gets killed for when we give them up. In the end, bad end to the half but the game isn't over as this team has shown they have fight in them finally.

BS calls do change A game....but when your team is at 15-20 they suck, that should be obvious.

My point being...with or without calls, this team was destined to get destroyed by the Thunder.

If that is the case then why are peole getting pissed at what should be a blowout? If we are just overmatched and outgunned before tipoff shouldn't there be more acceptance and less anger? I don't think we shold be getting destroyed by the Thunder (though I think they are a great team) just like I didn't think we should of been destroyed by the Spurs.

My point is... two missed calls can turn a 6 point (2-possession) game into a 12 point game. Momentum can turn that fast. What about the T's that should of been called on both Westprick and KD? Those types of things change momentum.

Of course my real point was that people are going to overlook that LA is missing fricking shots more than being stopped. I guess its a "how you look at it" type thing if you think guys are missing shots cause they suck or because they are just missing shots. We'll see what type of fight we have in us this game.

and I agree

I said the lakers sucked this season but I didn't think it was this bad

man oh man . it s not over yet . lakers can still make a run. if you are so pessimistic then you shouldn t say my lakers. because you are always so hard on them . so please stop saying my lakers.you try to get every opporturnity to punish the team.

That's Magic, he tends to critic on a day by day basis and when things do go the Lakers way he tries to jump back on the bandwagon.

With that said, it's really not looking good for the Lakers. Injuries have really been a big issue for us and it appears it will continue to be so with Jordan Hill now being out for the rest of the season. I still believe we have the personal to make a run for the playoffs but we need Pau and Dwight to get healthy quick.

Sick sick sick. I can't believe will all the coaches they have everybody is afraid to say something.

Just watch him on defensive sets and transition, he only tries on every other possession. disgusting

Then watch the game tonight.

No. You stop acting like your posts are gospel. He misses, he doesn't run make and points. He roams, watches the ball, doesn't fight through screens. That is why Pop had Green hit the shot on him to WIN THE GAME early in the season -- good coaches exploit Bryant's lazy play on D. Parsons did it too in the Hou game. And Galo always runs back for a layup after a Kobe missed 3. Stop defending him and let posters call what they see.

Is Kobe doing the white sleeve at home, black at away thing again? I sure hope so.

OK.. attack the damn paint.......... or give free throws to start the half

Most of his analysis would support this statement.

Dying by the 3 tonight.... holding our own on the boards surprisingly and we only have 7 turnovers at half....

OKC really wants to blow us out... and that run at the end of the half is probably just the beginning I'm afraid....

Hill gone for the year is just about s*it icing on the crap cake of a season we've had so far.....

Down by 18 and Eddie Jordan is having a jolly time laughing behind the bench. You can show yourself the door.

When we had the same record in 02-03 Kobe went on that 9 str8 40+...who thinks he can do this again?

Sure thing, mom. Kobe's playing some awesome D. What the hell are you talking about Galo? And Pop? I'm talking about tonight.

You're always free to say what you want (within the rules). And I'm free to tell you when you're wrong.

LOL... you are funny with your Kobe hate.

Good D by Ron Ron to get the turnover

We have to stop the bleeding, down by 21.

right. what's he happy about? having a job with the lakers i bet.....

he did get hit, not only thought

Again, Kobe in the paint getting hit harder than anyone on the Thunder and no calls in his building

feels like 04-05 all over again

it's just so sad how kobe gets hammered on every drive and rarely gets calls. on the other hand, westbrook/kd/harden/james get such easy fouls majority of the time they drive

LOL at Lakers girl finally one bucket and only 2 jump up

Hey a bucket and a stop...

I like to see Ibaka taking the three.

Meanwhile, horrendous O, and Kobe hasn't even touched it the last few possessions (so don't blame him).
