at least this isn't blow out like expected, even though a loss but now I have a little (just a little) confidence that Lakers can make to playoff

Clark played a great game. I think Nash played pretty well, too.

I think this is Lakers season in a nutshell: bad decisions down the line.

or how about losing by 20 then getting it to 3 with under 1 min and still losing...........

idk about u guys but this was the worst loss of the season

Still need 30 wins to make playoffs. Not looking good right now.

Great game though. It's so encouraging.

They need to go like 30 - 14 the rest of season. Yah think?

Close enough right?

Never down 20, and the meaningless comeback wasn't meaningless. So, nah?

We didn't win so yeah it was meaningless. If you think consistently making comebacks against teams that stop playing late in the 4th is where this team needs to be right now you should probably re evaulate your standards.

Come on, when you have a game winning look, unless it's a closeout game on your season, that's not meaningless. Maybe you should re evaluate your standards. Wouldn't you say that Clark played a good game, for instance? Well, they lost. But that doesn't make it meaningless. Losing doesn't make achievements meaningless.

Sure we saw some good things, but where the Lakers are at right now a loss is a loss and they can't afford to have this happen anymore.

before i go for now. first mwp had a very good game most of the night but the last couple of plays from mwp were just awful and absolutely bonehead plays. can t believe he took a fastbreak so selfish instead of passing to a open kobe for a easy scoring opporturnity and that drive to the basket where he was blocked also very bad. so you don t remember the good plays just the very bad ones he had in the last 2 minutes. just dumb plays . earl clark came to play that s for sure. lakers showed some fight but took to many three s and the end of the game and it was like the whole season so far a little to late that comeback try . oh and don t forget all these bonehead plays that cost us so many games so far tonight it was mwp with such dumb plays and vs denver it was d12. but once again at least they kept fighting. i hope we can win on friday but i guess we loose. so we will 15 -21 before our bigs comeback and maybe some help from new players and maybe then we start over again , after that we have 2 games at home vs cleveland and milwaukee that we should and must win before miami comes to town.. i might be crazy but i still say lakers make the playoffs seed 6 till 8 is still makeable. it sounds like crazy and a tall order and it is but i still think lakers make the playoffs

i was actually very pleased even though we lost, just because of how thrilling the comeback was. anyone blaming mwp for this loss is outta their mind. he blew that 3 on 1 fastbreak where he should've passed but c'mon, he brings it every single night just like tonight

just noticed MWP had SEVEN steals as well!

30-14 was 2 games ago. They probably need to go 30-12 right now.

definite possible, If we play D correctly, we should beat those weaker team. as we only face strong team (I count Boston in too) 13 times start on Friday. lets say we lose those 13 games but win everything else, we still have a shot. Lakers just need to play with energy like they did today like Earl Clark
