Sickening, F-ing Sickening! Kobe will want out again after tonights game and I really won't blame him. Get rid of these weak ass foreign players and get some guys who have a set of balls and know how to play some D.

Gasol is the reason the Lakers are here.
Bynum will be back.
All ya need is a point and ya got plenty
to trade.

The Lakers future is very bright.
They have got to be the favorites to win
it all next year, especially if they pick up a point.

He is asked to do way too much.
Farmar cant handle the big time.
Fisher is fine at the 2.

No Iverson. He will come in saying Kobe is the man and
just dribble the ball around. He is also really a 2.

Hoss is right Farmar is still young.

A older guy like Billups would help for a year or two.
A younger guy like the backup on Detroit...
The thing is Kobe is not an easy guy to play with.
So might have to be a PG that is already established
in running the show.

They just need to be stronger and smarter than Farmar.
And quicker than Fisher.

Can we get Kent D. to mount the Lakers and wrap them up...

I can't believe I'm still watching this. Although Sasha has been one of my favorite players, it's time for him to go.

Get rid of Sasha, Radmonovic, and Odom. Go after a guy like Michael Redd or Josh Howard.

I actually did not see your post before I started my previous get rid of Sasha post, but he is soft and doesn't know how to play away from Staples. He tries to play hard defense but he just can't.

People forget that Bynum was there when they played the Celtics in the regular season and the Celtics bullied him and dominated the Lakers. Maybe having Bynum AND Gasol would have made a big difference here but remember, if Bynum never got hurt, it's doubtful Gasol is there now.

Lakers aren't going to win a title with Odom.

It's good to have a guy that can get to the basket like Odom, but then he gets fouled and is good for 1 of the 2 free throws if that.

He's useless. Makes Scottie Pippen look like the greatest player of all time.

This series really has shown how important Bynum is to this team. The West was suppose to be the dominant conference, but it is actually full of a bunch of soft players.

Hopefully everything stays good with the team in the offseason so they will be ready to go next year.

Kobe is a great individual talent in a game that requires team effort. GREAT players make others around them better, ala Jordan, Bird, Magic. I hate to break your heart kid, but Kobe does not posses that trait. But don't fret, neither does Lebron and these other so called "superstars" in the NBA.
