And while Gee posts pics dated from when the Lakers won their last THREE championships, the Lakers blow out the Clippers. Who was it that said the Lakers might not even be the best team in LA, and that by the end of december they'd be 5 games under .500? Ah, it was Hugh D'Man and butters who said they'd be 10 games under .500 in january. Cheese said maybe not 10, but maybe 5.

Thank goodness our bench has finally arrived...Kobe averaging 36 minutes a night instead of 43 is really, really good.

Bynum 14-9 and 6 blocks
Kobe 32-8-3 on 50% shooting (his groin isn't great, exercises it during timeouts with this weird band thing, was a game time decision and he says he has to adjust his stride and take shorter, choppier steps)
Luke with a really good 6-6 shooting night, 15 points.
Sasha put in 14 in the 4th

Man, that Golden State loss really hurts, could have been just a game and a half behind the Suns instead of 2.5, but this was a good bounceback.

Man, and the Lakers are still plowing through the league's toughest schedule at SOS .545 (Raptors have second hardest at .539).

That's not gonna change with the Suns on Xmas and Boston before new years.

Lakers third in the league in scoring, behind the suns and warriors. The Lakers and Suns stats are oddly similar. Almost the same differential, with the suns scoring two more ppg but allowing two more ppg as well.

Lakers need to work on their D.

So what is the Lakers record? I'm way too lazy to look it up, and honestly have no clue.

Only those who haven't tasted an NBA title for their favorite team would say that "it matters not." It matters....it is the ONLY thing that matters.

I loves me some Bynum.

Darth Llama · December 17th, 2007, 09:10 PM

I have to admit, I have been pleasantly surprised by Bynum's play this year. There is still rumor that he's up for trade, but at this point, I would have to say that's non sense. The kid is really starting to step up, is averaging a double double, and has been one of the best low post defenders in the league. Watching him leap up and block shots is a thing of beauty.

I admit it, during the off season, I supported the idea of packaging Bynum in trade for Jermaine O'neal, which it now seems would have been a horrible mistake. Luckily Doctor Buss and Mitch Kupcheck know what they're doing better then I do. I'm not sure if the Lakers have all the parts they need for a serious title run this year, but they are looking much better then anyone would have guessed so far. If they make a little more progress in a few areas (most notably their transition defense) they'll be right there in the hunt this year.

Hopefully they keep it up and win one for their biggest fan.. Gee!

What does Kobe being a rapist and laker fans making a disgrace outta them selves with weird hats while crying have anything to do with championships.. What a twisted thought process.. But then again, your a laker fan in AZ..

You can't say the word Lakers without thinking championships. They are practically synonymous.

I feel bad for you guys that your only playoff memories involve a bloddy Nash and John Paxson.

Funny, but I don't see those banners in Staples coming down anytime soon.

But at least there's a banner at USAirways Arena....for the Mercury.

The hate is strong in this one.
