Fakers 23-26

[jod23]

They managed to get over the mighty Detroit Pistons too. They are definitely back.

 

[MadTigerFan]

1-4

Looking like the Philly Eagles of the NFL atm, in other words overrated.

 

[jod23]

They will recover and make the playoffs easily enough, cant see them getting out of the first or second round though.

 

[peternorth]

see my sig

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

They should win the next 2, and be 3-4 (possibly 4 of the next 5) and we'll be back to 'giving them the WCF' in no time IMO. Long season is long.

 

[PP34]

They're nowhere getting near a title, that's for sure. I'm struggling to see who will win the West. The Spurs?

EDIT: ADDED IN NOWHERE.

 

[Dags21]

Wow... Their balance seems all out of whack.
Kobe and dwight can be th base of a really good team but Nash does his best work with th ball, and mwp is no spot up shooter, gasol is th big worry.. Square holes everywhere and only round pegs to fill em

 

[nufan]

Pretty sure the Heat went 9 - 11 2 years ago which sparked another over reaction like this one. Made the Finals. Choked

I can't believe the Spurs are still up there, outstanding organisation.

Young players, not declining players, plus have Howard and Nash ever won? they wouldn't know how to lol

unlike Philly, they know when to fire a coach

Bye Mike Brown

 

[jod23]

I still like OKC to win the West.

 

[Dez!]

Going to be disappointed when nothing changes, not the coaches fault this team is beyond horrible defensively and has the absolute worst bench imaginable.

 

[BLPC08]

The problem, as mentioned, lies purely with the insipid bench they have. It's all good and well to have the most imposing starting five in the comp, but what if they aren't all firing? They've just fired the coach, next the players will come under fire.

Will need drastic improvement to make the play-offs at this rate.

 

[jko'neal]

Good to see Brown go, since Jackson left that team has just been going through the motions.

 

[MadTigerFan]

LOL

LOL

LOL

 

[jod23]

They certainly are struggling. Will still make the playoffs.

 

[PP34]

RealGM Laker board meltdown imminent.

 

[nufan]

Times like this I'm glad I have zero expectation of success

 

[ROSEMVP]

So when does Mike get sacked?

 

[nufan]

We'll wait for Buss to say he's safe and then give it 2 days

 

[jod23]

It's weird that they are not very good. They just should be. You cant have Kobe and Howard on the same team and be below .500. It's just ridiculous.

You can if you look at the Lakers bench. How many games have they been fully healthy for also? Can't be many. Long season is long

 

[jod23]

I guess but you still shouldnt be losing to the Wizards and Cavs??

How would I know, I go for the Pelicans.

But yeah, How this team is so damn bad defensively is beyond me. Which for mine is 90% of the problem. From the 10 or so full games I have watched and had a good look at them the just look lazy, Nobody rotates or switches and there is some very lazy double teaming going on. Dwight looks a shadow of the 3 time DFPOY also, whether it's still his back or if he just doesnt care, or a form slump, not sure.
