i hope the lakers can do us the favor of beating the thunder today

Looks like we helped you out , but really though this is the best game we've played all season. Here's to hoping this style of play is the start of something great

Better days ahead for the Lakers? I can only hope. Beating a team like the Thunder was epic. Now we have to win the games we're supposed to and get back to .500

They will need to be at least 6 games above .500 to make the playoffs IMO

They just offset that victory with a loss to one of the worst teams in the West in Phoenix. What a weird season for them.

I know it, I think I spoke too soon.

Agreed.

[MC KAos]

The lakers have proven to be a "turrible" road team, they better get their crap together during this road trip or they might be out of it by the time they play at home again

They are not making the playoffs. Also I have feelings the team may get broken up a bit.

They have to survive this current (I think) 8 game road trip with at least a .500 record IMO to stay alive. Their schedule softens up a bit after that and they could make a run. Howard needs to stay healthy and Kobe needs to keep distributing. Nash needs to play better too, he seems to be washed up, tho.

As of now, 3/9/2013, The Lakers are 32/31, 1/2 game out of the 8th place spot in the West. They have 19 games left, 10 on the road but one is against the Clippers, which as we all know, is like a home game.

Their remaining schedule looks like this.

Bulls
Magic @
Hawks @
Pacers @
Kings
Suns @
Wizards
Warriors @
Timberwolves @
Bucks @
Kings @
Mavs
Grizzlies
Clippers @
Hornets
Blazers @
Warriors
Spurs
Rockets

Of the 19 remaining games, 13 are Western Division games but only 4 are against teams in the top 8 in the Western Division Playoff Race. Lakers play 9 games against winning teams, 5 of those are on the road.

This is very doable for the Lakers, making the playoffs. If they fail to get into the playoffs, it's pretty much nobodies fault but their own. It's all their in front of them.

I am going to miss this kind of stuff so much when he retires.

So is that woman he raped in Denver.

Lakers got a win over Bulls today. Big win for them against a playoff team and it brings them into 8th place in the West. 1/2 game lead over Utah, who was idle today.
