Don't hate BRO! I am not a CLE fan, but just bcus they are doing well and talking a little does'nt mean you have to stoop to the level of the haters. But I fell you though, lol.

I agree. All of Cleveland's players has heart and plays hard. We have a few.

Well sure being a potty mouth isn't the way to go, but the way they've been playing come on. D-Wade punched Beasley in the chest to motivate him, MJ used to be more harsh on his guys to motivate them to win. Kobe's frustrated with his guys because he knows they can play better and do better he's a leader and leaders are hard on their guys during stretches like these. What else is he supposed to do sit there and be like "Well....**hunch shoulders** and head to locker room? I don't know why some insist on trying to make everything negative between Kobe and his teammates. Kobe hates losing and he's an ultimate competitor he wants his guys to mimic that mindset, make them tougher so they can win.

didn't think it was possible but they are embarrasing themselves more and more with each passing game and Fish please accept reality that you are pretty much a waste of space if you can't hit OPEN shots cause we all know how great you are defensively

You mean those scrubs who won four of five when he was out including at Utah and Portland?

That's a great idea, and I'm willing to admit that I'm probably guilty of some of that crap. This road trip was definitely a bad one, but the Lakers will bounce back from it, I'm certain of it. Thanks for bringing some sanity to this thread.

This is the second time in as many games I've seen this person in here claiming to be a Cavs fan and dissing the Lakers. If he/she is a troll, I ask one of the moderators to ban this person. Thanks.

Don't be concerned about any other team except ours. The Lakers can't control what happens to the Cavs for the rest of the season.

Where are they now? Where are those player? Why aren't showing up? As soon as Kobe came back, they started playing like garbage again.

That's what we all need to do, put this road trip out of our minds, and move on.

No the ones mainly responsible for not guarding their men, shooting low FG%, bricking open shots and continually hesitating. The same ones that expand the deficit when Kobe comes out of the game...

The Lakers SHOULD win all the home games, but you never know with this team. As for the roadies, I'm a little worried about the Nuggets, but if K-Mart's out, they have a good chance of winning it. The Minny game is the 2nd of a back-to-back, and this, coupled with the fact that the T-Wolves have nothing to lose, could prove to be dangerous. Even the Clippers game could be a concern, especially if the Lakers have their playoff spot locked up, making it a meaningless game for them, and they play like it. I don't expect the Lakers to will all 7, but I do want them to finish with a better record than the Magic.
