The 2007-08 Los Angeles Lakers thread - Page 33

Eh, I'll take his 11 ppg, 7 rpg and 3 apg that he put up last year with the pistons. Better than NOT having depth with Mihm and Bynum and VladRad out.

He's going to play for peanuts, so I'm fine with that. Plus, he is familiar with the triangle after getting spanked by it for years.

Most people forget he played for the Sixers because he was injured 90% of the time he was in Philly. The remaining 10% was spent embarrassing himself with some of the worst play of his career.

I don't like Webber because he's a cry baby. If the Lakers pick him up, fine, I'll go along, but I hope they don't. I think that a combination of Brown and Turiaf can get us through 8 weeks. All we have to do is stay a float till Bynum gets back.

That would be hilarious if the lakers signed Webber..

I wish we would just cut Brown. He sucks out loud. Such bad hands and indecision with the ball. The guy is a freaking joke. How did he get picked #1 overall?

I wonder if laker fans are laughing about signing Webber now?

That was just a terrible game by the Lakers...Kwame was atrocious and Luke was bad. Together they combined for some horrid, horrid basketball.

Fish was a ghost.

Sasha and Farmar and Ronny had some spark.

Kobe spent three quarters basically begging someone on the team to step up and get in a rythm...nobody took the challenge.

We better win some games in a hurry....

I keep hoping that Kwamie will eventually prove his worth, but after all this time, maybe it's just time to realize he'll never be anything more then a joke. I just hope there is an answer other then Webber, I can't stand that guy.

I hate losing games more though, so what ever they do, I'll go along.

Don't be so hard on them... The Lakers had a bigtime off night and yes, played a horrendous game. And of course were without Bynum... Still, the Suns in their typical pathetic fashion, couldn't find a way to dust them off and again, allowed a team to make a big run... If anything, I think that all bodes well for the Lakers and should scare the crap out of the Suns...

I loved how the Laker players were blasting your fans for booing Kwame as soon as he touched the ball. It was hilarious, and I don't know if I have ever seen anything like it from a home crowd.

Well, those fans there were stupid and I agree with the players.

Any semi-knowledgeable fan would know

a) Kwame doesn't respond well to criticism, boos, humbling, etc.

and

b) That Phil was NOT going to pull him and would make him play through it.

and

c) there is nobody else on the bench to fill that role until at least Mihm returns (never) or Bynum gets back (thirty games).

thus, they only made things worse...much worse.

Now, they should have booed Luke to kingdom come as "a" and "c" didn't apply.

God that hurt to read.

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about what our record will be after 30 games without Bynum.

Brian in Mesa · January 18th, 2008, 07:06 PM

I love that most of our big run came with 24 on the bench.

Gee! · January 19th, 2008, 09:12 AM

I now understand why the lakers have reverted back to turning down the lights on the crowd like the forum days.. They dont want the world to see that the arena is half full from the los angeles "faithful"..

That's funny considering that PHX has the biggest front-running fans in the NBA.

I sure hope you're not a Suns fan making comments like this Gee. There is no bigger fair weather city on earth then Phoenix. When the playoffs start, everyone here is a Suns fan and in the offseason after their inevitable elimination, suddenly everyone knew they wouldn't win. Laker fans actually like the Lakers even when they suck.
