yeah, yeah, yeah, ive heard enough
it is preseason people! u think kobe would be so reluctant to shoot when hes being guarded 1-1 in the reg. season? u think there wont be more lobs for AB during the season? u think THE MACHINE wont be back for the season? u think the main players on the team are gonna get this short amount of time on the floor? u think lamar is gonna play that bad in the regular season?…wait…he probably will, scratch that last question…
if u think one of these is true…GO TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!!! U NEED MEDICAL HELP!!! nothing to be worried about here, PG and AB will have better chemistry, kobe will be kobe, win back-2-back MVPs, and, if we cant find a use for lamar, we’ll ship his @$$ out of la la land

ps, everyone boycott nba 2k9, kg is on the cover, so dont support it

LO can sure play up to his game?

The problem is he needs to have a decent game more than once every two weeks. This guy is so unmotivated. I don’t know, once a pothead always a pothead?

We’ve been waiting, hoping, praying for some consistency from this guy but it just seems to be so futile.

And playing him at PG?
He looks so clumsy out there – and that scarecrow defense – standing straight legged flapping his arms while the quicker PGs run circles around him? I don’t think so.

You guys need to calm down. It is pre-season, the coaching staff is running some different line-ups and rotations, failure is bound to happen. They will get everything straight by the start of the season. What do you guys expect when you have two rookies, Coby Karl, Mihm, and Radman on the floor? Im sure that these guys won’t even play or maybe be on the team when the season starts. Lakers will probably have Odom start and have Bynum come off the bench. Ariza, Farmar, Bynum, and Vujacic will work well together, although Ariza may be a starter. Our young guys have more experience than the Clippers or Blazers young players.

It’s preseason, but its also not an excuse to play so poorly. I’m not asking to go all out, just to show a little effort. Laziness is sign of character and I’d only hope they don’t continue to play bad.

I don’t think I’m overreacting too much on this cause we’ve had issues with our defense and turning the ball over for the past couple seasons. If we want to win a championship, those things must improve. The west is tough and need to form good habits now, not wait for opening day.

You know, LO doesn’t need to have flashy passes like Magic did, but he can surely play up to his game. And with this Dream lineup who wouldn’t. LO could be running the ball, dishing out assists, grabbing rebounds if our 7 footers can’t. Man LO should be hyped about this.

Phil or anyone connected with the coaching staff,

Since we have a lot of preseason games left, how bout trying LO at PG and have Trevor be SF.

The Lakers did not look good at all, is it just me or does it seem like Lamar Odom only gives his full effort about 25% of the time, the other 75 % he is the laziest player in the NBA. Someone needs to tell him to lay off the wead man cause its killing his brain cells. The Bynum and Gasol combo showed some flashes last night, I like the way we looked with the big line up with Bynum, Gasol and Odom, that was the only time that Odom actually gave effort all night was when he had those other two 7 footers out there with him. The only thing that I would suggest is that the twin towers of Bynum and Gasol need to slow down, there was a time when they went to that high low passing game early in the third quarter and Bynum had his man pinned down low but for some reason Gasol rushed the pass and the ball bounced off the front of the rim. With more time together they will get that down cause that high low passing game is gonna kill the NBA watch. We should not worry cause this is just the pre – season, they need time to gel together. I still think that we have the best first 5 in the league and the deepest team in the league. And I know you guys see the way Kobe is playing out there, there is no way that he is gonna continue to NOT look for his shot when the season comes, when the 1st real game starts then you will see the KILLER KOBE, and you add Bynum, Gasol and hopefully a motivated Odom then we have enough to win it all. Lastly can we call it like it is and let it be known that we need a new point gaurd, Baron Davis is a good player no doubt but we made him look like Magic Johnson out there, he did whatever he wanted to do whenever he wanted to do it, it was just sad to see. The Fisher, Farmer combo sux, I have been watching Laker point gaurds get killed ever since Magic retired and I’m sick of it. Troy Hudson, Rajon Rondo, Mike Bibby, Deron Williams, Chauncey Billups, Allen Iverson and even Damon Staudemire have killed us in the past, and the one person that they all have in common is Derek Fisher, they all killed him. Please someone show that man how to play defense or we will continuee to have this problem. Go Lakers!!
