you guys dont understand....the wizards and pistons are legit. The pistons have beaten Orlando and Boston twice, and the Wizards have beaten the Thunder and Lakers.

do not overlook them at the playoffs. they could make some waves.

I think Brown is a good coach (he took LeBron and scrubs to the finals), but he just isn't a good fit with that team. The veterans aren't receptive to him.

i think mike brown is a great defensive coach


his offense is non existent. it requires a PG, or leans on a superstar to go one on one and create. without any 3pt shooters like he had in Cleveland, it will fail.

and the lakers have the worst PG in the league and the worst 3pt% in the league. the brilliance of kobe, bynum, and gasol can't overcome that.

the bench isn't as bad as people think, talent wise. (look at Murphy's numbers in Indy). but the bench looks terrible because Bornw has no offense to play to their strengths.

that being said, there was no training camp. many roster changes. and it's only been 40 games. it wasn't going to click right away, but they don't have a season to give to Brown because Kobe's only got 2 more years max playing at the level he's at (watch for a huge dropoff after he kills it in 2012 olympics)

the wheels on the bus go off off off

Sources told ESPNLosAngeles.com that multiple players have continued to meet privately since the initial team meeting to discuss running elements of the Triangle offense again.

"The players want to unify," one source with knowledge of the situation said. "They know how to win and they want to fix this. I don't know if they can, though. "

haha this is a mess. Brown will be the scape goat. He had too much to live up to.

LOL. Any other poster and I'd be sure this was a joke. With Simpleton you never know.

Roland Lazenby: It seems we'll soon be getting news that Gasol has been traded. No details confirmed, but he's apparently gone. Twitter

It hasnt happened. Yet. No one seems to know about it except Roland

Theres also word that Gasol is traded for Monta Ellis. If the lakers do this and pick up Beasley for the 1st im a huge fan.

Ellis, Kobe, Artest, Beasley, Bynum would be the best offensive starting 5 in the nba.

Artest is garbage. Beasley ain't that great.

They aren't even the best starting five in Los Angeles.

You and I didn't watch the same Cleveland team for most those years. Lebron was average from there and Daniel Gibson was one of their only threats from there for awhile. And he wasn't very good. They weren't a great three point shooting team (they were 18th in the league the year they went to the Finals). They had an allsome 1 on 1 player though.

Mannix said that the lakers would never deal gasol for ellis. They would want curry in a deal

GS would be foolish to trade Curry.

Looks like all these trade rumors arent a distraction...

Lakers have 10 1st quarter turnovers and getting.blown out in minnesota.....without love playing.

definitely sucks being in 3rd place, only two games behind the spurs

apparently the lakers weren't willing to do a Gasol for Rondo deal

http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakers-fyi-20120312,0,4702579.story

it also appears the Lakers won't do Gasol for anyone not named Paul or Williams

i think the lakers will pick up Sessions and Beasley this week.

Mavs-Lakers tonight.

With the Mavs likely still missing their best 3 defenders and Lakers motivated not to lose back to back, is there any reason the Lakers shouldn't cruise to an easy win?
Enzo The Baker
How long do you want to ignore this user?

Yes. It's a back to back for the older Lakers. And Dirk is playing great ball right now. The Lakers are not. And the game is at home. Plenty of reasons.

Sort of rooting for the lakers in this one. Mavs are bound to rattle off wins pretty soon.

maybe bynum should stay in the game

Also...sessions needs more minutes.
