Thurs. 1/19 - Lakers @ Heat - Predictions & Comments

Here we come! Now we are going to win it.

I'll be honest with you guys....not really liking Brown as a coach.

It's probably not fair to pass judgment this early...but I'm seeing some pretty big missteps and bad decisions.

The effort just wasn't there through the first 3 quarters. If they minus Gasol had played with real urgency we might not be down by so much right now. Also the Heat truly have a hard time sustaining big leads.

This game was more about effort than our talent. Look at the difference when we are actually going for rebounds and getting the ball inside and not making lazy passes (although we just made one a lil bit ago)....this was a POOR effort by our team esp with 2 days of rest before this game. Very disappointed in our team. I think even when we lost we always gave maximum effort. Tonight I was reminded of the old Phil Jackson lackadaisical effort Lakers that I used to hate.

Contender? Yes. I don't see why not.

We're contenders.... We have yet to have the full team healthy or together for more than 2 games. We just had our first 2 day break of the season and the schedule will slow down from here on out. We have a completely new offense as well.

I can't help but think that the front office is going to get a guard to help..

Well, in a short season, this is a good way to get a practice in. Nice D Kobe. Battier always makes him look bad. Nice glassed 3

4 more 3's we got this.

WOW, tough shoot from Kobe

crystal ball tells me we're either going to OT and winning by 1 or falling on our face about 20 more times...

3 more 3's and a Bynum foul shot and we got this.

Few 3s, bam-bam-bam, and we'll win it.

Some people can't process all this. We had so much continuity with PJ-Kobe-triangle for years. This is a completely different year in terms of that aspect. It would be more surprising if we came out and were consistent and good as opposed to struggling and being inconsistent.

I think it's more embarrassing to get blown out for half the game and then make a run in garbage time. Like that's the only way they could actually make the game interesting.

I'm done. This org is doing just enough to keep Kobe interested, and that may wear thin soon, and sell tickets. I've got better things to do than watch this humiliation. Good night! All you die hard long time fans, wake the F up! You are a fool for defending the management of this team that has given the players today... they don't care about you or how great a fan you are. It's all about money and sucking people into the seats. As long as media continues to honor this franchise you will get more of the same.

See our offense can put up points.....when there is no defense being played.

Is it just me or does every time Bynum challenges a shot on the perimeter it goes in..... it's like automatic for the opposition...
