as much as i like odom and what he can bring to the game because of his unmatchable versatility, im beginning to dislike his inconsistency. he is our #2 player but does not play like it. he says he’s passionate, but he never plays that way. he doesnt look to exploit and take advantage of his abilities because if he truly did so, he would be nearly unstoppable with his capabilities. im not gonna give up on him, but im just tired of watching him not put up the numbers that he can each game.

i like the team right now, but yes we still need upgrades. im not sure at what positions currently because everything is looking kinda blurred right now. i can understand why phil is not inserting ariza into the lineup because he has not practiced with the team yet, but he should get started soon. all i want for the lakers to do is have a very good season, possibly make some noise in the playoffs and then take care of business in the offseason by making some truly significant trades/acquisitions.

the lakers look like this currently

pg: fish
sg: kobe
sf: odom
pf: turiaf
c: bynum

pg: farmar
pg: crittenton: should go to d-league to get more playing time
sg: karl: go to d-league with critty for more playing time
sg: vujacic
sf: walton
sf: ariza: should be kobe’s backup because luke will be better off at the sf position
pf: radmanovic
c: mihm
c: kwame: currently injured, but ever since, the lakers have struggled without him with a record of 1-2 on the latest road trip

Why does everyone think the triangle is so unique when we barely use it. You know every game we win the triangle is no where in sight the season opener the triangle was no where to be found. Here’s what makes us contenders not using the triangle and just play ball

I think the LAKERS should practice on their LAYUP and FREETHROW drills a hell’o alot more. Luke, Vlad, and Mihm can’t seem to make a simple layup. If you’re getting paid millions of dollars, you better F’kn make a point-blank basket! Better yet, they should go strong to the hole and DUNK the ball! Don’t try to be fancy with it, just take it strong. That’s what ARIZA will bring, he’s not scared to slam the ball in someone’s face. He should start instead of Luke or Lamar.

Agreed. But, Ariza to start.. i don’t know. Lakers play a whole different type of basketball…(wheather or not they win games..,) Ariza will take time to learn this unique triangle offencse Phil’s got. Also, he should know how to play with Kobe. It’s a time process… but, undoubt I am awating a difference factor right away. Ariza’s got defense talents, and nothing is better than this opportunity for him to prove that he needs minutes that too in front of his family and neighbours. p.s. careful of these Nets now, just coming off a hot win.

looks like that lamar for Marion deal is looking better and better. I wish that could’ve happened… our team would be nice. I dont think at this point we can give up Bynum… for the most part (besides last game) hes been consistent…. and he makes his free throws. I would LOVE to have an Artest on board…. how can we do that?

Well, now that the Lakers lost the last two games, let’s see how long the successful streak will last.
Once again this team is not a contender because the lack of consistency. The playoffs will be here and is hard to imagine the see this same team win 4 games against a good team and advance into the playoffs.
We need a star quality player that is a veteran and not injury prone. Until then we are just going to repeat the previous years.
I really hope I am wrong, but I see the same pattern happen all over again.

I am dead serious, at this point bynum has the same chance to make a 3’s than odom…maybe slightly better
when the fuching hell phil will prohibit Lo to shoot a 3?
and yes, i agree about luke, defensively he is a black hole!
we should trade him along with everyone else except kobe and bynum to get real players
get artest, he is crazy but thaqt guy is an all star, and plays D like no one!
get kidd
Inconsistency frustrates me like nothing else!!!!!

DAVID, LAMAR WILL BALL YOU UP ANYTIME ON ANY DAY, SO STFU!

Lamar is real garbage. He goes from an all-star one night, to an inconsistent nobody the next. The problem is most nights he’s the nobody. He has absolute no right hand game and no jump shot. We need to dump him asap before his trade value drops even more. You suck Lamar…
