who was hating? just pointing out the facts.look at the board where your fellow laker fans are blaming the coach and players other than kobe. but yea I do hate the lakers and their fans for their arrogance.hope they win just enough to make the playoffs as to not get a high draft pick. with the new rules let’s see how many superstars turn down the the 30 million more they can get from their teams to sign with “winners” like the lakers.

Metalhead, guess not much gets through that head huh? Lakers are one of the top ten teams in the league for the past thirty years. This is not a good year. And granted this is not a good team, but we knew that before the season started, based on the playoffs of last year. So what we are still better than 50% of the other teams in the league.

One down year only means next year will be far better. Hate all you want….we will return to GREATNESS and that is what people like you dislike. Just look at all the Championship banners, Lakers do not even bother to post Conference Championships, they are irrelevant and small. Lakers are in it to win it and they have done a lot of winning over the years, METALHEAD!

NO OTHER FRANCHISE OTHER THAN BOSTON CAN COMPARE when it comes to a HISTORY OF WINNING. Get over it and stop being a hard headed hater. Lakers are winners and that is hard to accept if you are a loser.

so where is all that bynum is the best center in the league talk now? first howard abuses him then roy hibbert with a broken nose shows him how it is done. stop making excuses laker fans your team is not playing well right now just deal with it. you are the reason people outside of l.a. hate the lakers. always on the bandwagon and talking smack when they are winning but point fingers and jump ship the min. things do not go your way. should they suddenly go a winning streak you will be back on here talking how great they are saying you knew they could do it the whole time.

They do not need CP3, he is hurt and has not played for the last 3 or 4 games so how would that help the Lakers with no CP3 or Gasol? They should get rid of any and everyone but Kobe, aquire D Howard and D Williams and get good hungry back ups. There are nine players on the Lakers team no one would miss if they got rid of them.

Mike Brown is a good coach, takes time to learn his system. The Lakers have not changed the system in what 8 yrs and now in a short season they are supposed to master it. Plus Mike coaches defense, the Lakers never played much defense. Kobe needs competent, Hungry players and the Lakers do not have any. Gasol and Bynum never run, Fisher cannot run, Barnes and Metta Peace are not consistent and that is Kobe or Mikes fault..please.

Pacers keep creeping up the Power Rankings and Lakers keep slipping down:

That is dumb….. the 7th? Look at his assist the last couple of games and look at the passes he gives Gasol and Barnes. They do not handle the ball of make the basket, how many times do I keep passing it to incompetents. Years gone by someone would hit a shot, not this year. The problem is not Kobe it is the supporting cast that does not support.

it sucks to get d doesn’t it?And that’s what the Lakers are now.Fisher is what 37?Kobes only 32 but he’s been in the league for 16 years now and it’s taking it’s toll.Dwight Howard isn’t the cure either.The Lakers really needed Chris Paul but Emperor Stern said nay.Mike Brown isn’t the problem it’s father time that hinders them.

the inconsistency of andrew bynum and his basketball IQ sometimes drag them down. dont get me wrong im a lakers fan. but based on my observation, bynum has the skill set of a big man but sometimes his decision making is inappropriate at times.

and mike brown still figuring out the team. its like playing chess. he still cant master how to use the other characters aside from pawn.

winning streak pls

The problem with the Lakers is their pathetic coach Mike Brown. Brown has non clue about how to run a real NBA offense except to give the ball to the star player. While Kobe tries so hard the rest of the team falls asleep on offend and defense. Can’t blame Kobe for trying so hard but he’s not in his prime anymore and he needs Bynum, Gasol and Peace to step up to share the scoring load. Now defenses load up on Kobe and he’s shooting poor percentages. If the Lakers want to become a championship team again they have to fire Mike Brown and bring in a real coach. Too bad they let Brian Shaw and the old coaching staff go.

Kobe 7th best player in the league? Im not sure hes in the top 10 anymore. Seems like he has lost the respect of his teammates.
