Well, there's a real problem with that logic, besides the suck-ass play behind games like these (and starters playing well into the 4th).

I don't care who they beat or not, but with these losses they are losing ground on both Boston and Miami for home-court in the Finals (I don't believe SA will be there) and that does worry me.

I mean, Ramon Sessions???

He's played for ****** teams in his career and no coach seems to want him as a starter, but I've watched him and the dude can flat out ball when he's given the minutes. He knows how to play the game.

This comment would be appropriate if it was Earl Boykins lighting up the Lakers again.

Man, just about every player in the NBA can "flat out ball".

Letting a career sixth man, on the worst team in the league, light up your defense for 32 is not as much a comment on Ramon's "flat out ball" skiils as it is a comment on the Lakers non-flat out defensive gaps and nonchalance. That was RS's season high. Not done against the Wizards, etc. Against the Lakers. Ramon wasn't so much brilliant as the Lakers collectively sucked.

Pau's weak wave at Eyenga dunking on him, after blasting past Kobe, for example. Pathetic....

But LO thinks: "Defense. Cohesiveness. Our chemistry on offense. I'm not that worried. I think it's things we can fix."

Well, we've heard that before, so I guess everything's cool....

Yeah, they were jealous of the Clippers breaking the Cavs losing streak and Ramon Sessions is a perennial All-Star....

If not SA, then who else from the Western Conference? The Spurs have played far and away the best basketball in the NBA this season. And they've beaten the Lakers twice.

what's the point of posting congrats when LA wins? 75% of this thread is Laker fans fellating the team. Would it make you feel better if I told you that they were really good last year when they beat boston? Yo I hate boston and I was rooting for la.

Surprised you took your lips off Lebronze long enough to type that!

Anyone who hates Dfish is a despicable human, no offense of course.

No, they can't. Look at what Johnny Flynn did when he finally got the chance to start this season over Luke Ridnour.
