Lakers

Especially ironic (:crazy given the beatdown at the hands of the Clippers the other night.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

In fairness to FS, I assume when he posted that, he was thinking Kobe would play most of the season.

yes I did. I also didn't think Nick Young, Xavier Henry, or Jordan Farmar would be injured for most of the season. I was not stupid enough to think that the Lakers roster was equal to the clippers. That first game was fun though. The rest of the season not so much. I couldn't even get excited when they beat Portland or OKC during the last couple of weeks because I am now want them to lose for a better chance in the lottery.

I know all that, you yahoo! Just funny is all. I haven't had anything to cheer about in the NBA since the statues were in uniform.

A local radio station asked Jazz fans to text in their recommendations for player injuries this morning following that announcement. Most picked Gordon Hayward and most were just as stupid.

Nice game by the Lakers last night. Hopefully they have figured a few things out and will finish the season on a high note.

I prefer they are competitive, but lose as many games as possible to finish the season. They really need to get as high of a lottery pick as possible.

at this point, I think that it is safe to abandon any notions of the Lakers being "competitive" or finishing the season on a "high note." I have turned my attention to hoping that the Lakers high first round pick this summer will hearken back to the days of landing the next Magic, James Worthy, or Byron Scott. It is probably safe to abandon those notions, as well

I think it will be a successful offseason if Jim and Jeanie can figure out their shit and actually communicate some semblance of a vision for this team post Kobe. The Lakers have been a wreck since the Dr. passed, and it all starts at the top.

Regardless of how F'd up the Lakers are right now, I'm thankful for one more year of Nick Young!

I guess he technically has a player option for next season, but who in his right mind would pass up a chance to be part of this special group of leadership.

See ya Mike D! What's up Doc, can we rock?

A lot of Byron Scott love on local talk right now.

Funny, I was just saying he'd be my pick if I were betting money.

Some other names coming up: Kevin Ollie, Ettore Messina (Lakers supposedly loved him when he was on Mike Brown's staff), Brian Shaw, Phil

I want Phil.
