Lakers Team Report

Kobe is the best ever, in a class by himself! yes, a mere lebron james would be out
for weeks with a broken finger, surely not the true warrior kobe is! and labron's
teams have never won a championship title! read and see the truth all you jealous
laker haters!

People who believed NBA is fixed, I bet they didnt even know how to dtribble a ball..., If you experienced playing basketball or a simply a baller...its very difficult to have your move scripted. Just moved on regarding NBA fixed game.

Why is Bynum struggling?

and Adam Morrison goes too, he is not NBA material.

I was right, Brown is improving every game this year so far, just teach him how to passes the ball, smart penetrations and he will be the next point guard for the Lakers, also another strong evidence in Sacramento for need to removing Bynum and Farmar from the Lakers, especially Bynum, he is way over paid, almost lost the game or LA alone, he was the main reason why Lakers had to go overtime to win it. if you guys have watched any Laker's game lately, he looks like a big slow elephant on the court, from what I understand, he is healthy now but couldn't produce even half of his normal input before he was injured last season, unless.....

I'm suprised after the game in LA that they didn't review the photage and give Kobe a flagerant foul when he ran in to mo williams on purpose. yet another reason kobe is disliked by many, dirty move kobe.

I think if all the children on here would stop posting there would only be about a dozen posts on this site. What is with all the name calling and whining ( and yes for you kids that like to say "whinning"). The refs did not, may i repeat that, DID NOT have a thing to do with the out-come of that game. Cavs-30 FTs- Lakers 27 FTs. Wanna break it down to the two stars== Kobe-8 FTs per game avg. and Lebron- 9 FTs per game avg.. In other words nobody was favored over the other by refs. Cavs outplayed Lakers last night. Next time might be different or it might be the same. Grow up.

It was a poor effort by our Lakers, that's all. Cleveland came in like it was game 7, and played a hard game, knowing they were flying home for a day break. The Lakers played it like a regular season game, knowing they were playing a back to back on the road against the poorer but athletic Kings. They never matched their intensity, and never responded when their early lead quickly melted away. It's one out of 82, and the beat goes on. Cleveland has already had a few inexplicable losses, and will likely have more. This one stings because it was on national TV, providing all the haters out there to jump on their little bandwagon and cry, "Lakers Suck!" Fine. We'll be there in the finals, and we'll see if Labron & Co. can get past Boston or Orlando. I hope they take it out on Sactown tonight. Go Lakers!

not the refs, the nba decided LA had to lose. Not that Bynum and farmar are not doing enough sabotaging lately anyway... I think it is time to make tough decisions in LA, Bynum will not be as huge as expected and with that kinda contract he does not deserve to waste Bryant's time. Defence is a concern and selection of shots too... But if refs continue like that Kobe will just end up with a big injury and only Stern will be happy. Marketing over sporting... They just don't want teams to repeat, it ain't good for business.

Its also funny how Joakim Noah was ready to come to blows with Lebronze but he respects Kobe as "the best player in the world." That just goes to show what a hot dogging clown Lebronze "Kid n Play" James is. The guy has NO class, starting from when wouldn't shake Howard's or the Magic players' hands, to all the pregame nonsense he does before games. And all that dancing he did in the Chicago Bulls game, to also eating that fan's french fry. Go get your own, you spoiled idiot! He's a loser that has won only personal accolades and couldn't even win the gold medal with a roster full of all-stars until Kobe decided to join team USA. Lebronze is a 3rd rate loser, who continues to lose respect around the league. Noah may not be a superstar, but there are a lot of players like Noah who don't respect Lebronze because he has ZERO class, and I think everyone knows that.

Stupid idiots, make up your minds. You said Kobe wasn't great until he won on his own. And now that he won without Shaq I still hear all the stupid criticisms. Here is a guy that goes out with a broken pinkie finger and a broken index finger and you still criticize him. STFU and give credit where credit is due. When people mention top tier talents all-time, you know Havlicek isn't mentioned. He's up there, but he wasn't on Kobe's level and played in an era that was in my opinion "unbalanced." I wouldn't criticize the Celtics for winning in that era, but they shouldn't be weighed fairly. With only 8-12 teams in the league, especially with no team parity, it shouldn't be judged in the same manner. And if you think I'm judging them for winning, I say the same for the early Lakers teams in Minneapolis, I don't weigh those as heavily either, even though they count as part of our 15. I consider Jordan's 6 titles to be worth much more than Havlicek's 8 titles. I also think Kobe's 4 titles are worth as much as Havlicek's 8 or at least close.

For all the Kobe haters lets get one thing straight! When you look back on all the great players you will find one fact that applies to them all and here it is. Russell had the Jones boys and Havilchek, but so did the Jones boys and Havilchek have Russell. Wilt had Jerry West, and West had Wilt. Kareem had The Big O and the Big O had Kareem. Magic never one a title without Kareem, Bird never one a title without McChale, Michael never one a title without Scottie, Dr.J never won a title without Moses, And even the few players that won tiles with other players such as Russell, Shaq, and Duncan, they still had players on those teams that they wouldn't have been able to accomplish it without the support of these players such as the Cousy's, Ginnobili's, Wade's And Bryant's. The run Shaq had in LA wouldn't have happened with out Kobe and you are a JACKASS if you believe other wise. Basketball is a team sport and one man don't win titles its a team effort. Every sports commentator who even suggest that Kobe finally won a title without Shaq or even talk that type of non-sense should be fired because they are a injustice to the sport. Every championship team regardless of the sport depends on the teamates they have. Dale Earnhart and Richard Petty never one a race without a pit crew. Pele did not win one soccer game without his teamates, Gretzsky didn't win one hockey game with his teamates. So the point I'm trying to make is when you are a true fan of sports you see the reality of team sports and that is it's exactly that, TEAM EFFORT!

6 of Havlicek's rings come from an NBA-era w/ 8-12 teams total........

Dan is a d**kh**d!!!

The loss to Utah was nothing compared to the loss they gave them! The Lakers came out to play, not to win. The Jazz played their hearts out, the Lakers didn't and only lost by 8?! Yeah, a loss is a loss but that just goes to show you where they're at! Lakers are still on top!!

And now the road trips begin.. Hope kobe gets rid of that stomach flu fast. We need more points out of him

Don't over look Sasha Vujacic!!!! He's got game! They need to play him more!

Hey Dan!! And why are you reading in the NBA section?

Who cares about the Lakers or any other team? NBA sux.

long as ai would agree to come off bench it would be nice with L.O

laker haters, or should i say kobe haters. Everybody want to hate kobe, but don't hate kobe hate the game. Everybody say 's lebron, but until he wins a championship i got wade above lebron james. And defintely kobe bryant is better, he's more focused and less selfish when it comes to the team. lebron thou he is a distributor of the ball, yet he is still looking for the limelight instead the team getting the limelight. he still got a lot to learn. he got to get the mental part of the game like wade and kobe have already got that part down. His jump shot is still shottyy, his turnover comes at a crucial time in key games. He's good but not great yet. but i expect him to be the best player in the league probably within the next 3 years, For now it's kobe bryant and dwayne wade. lakers champions 2010

Why are you people still insisting that we sign Iverson? he is a freakin cancer and we dont need him here in L.A....He will be crying like a little @#$% that he is and dont need his drama. He is a great player, but he doesnt fit in with the triangle offense...Would be nice to get Ariza back though....Sounds good, but doubt that would happen...Image him coming off the bench to replacew Artest or have Artest, Ariza and Kobe on the court at the same time...WOW!!!!

When people say that the Lakers suck, it's sounds more like you hate the Lakers rather then true facts. They will lose in the playoffs? To who? Hate them but remember that the Lakers are the defendind champs and they are playing really good basketball right now. Think before you speak.
