Shaq even though hes slowing down is still worth having on your team. He draws so much attention that it opens the floor for Kobe. But whats done is done. ITs still one of the most dumbest trades ever. You just dont trade away the most dominant player.

Last night was good defensive game. If we can keep up with the defense the lakers would make it past the first round.
My take on the team:
Kobe, great as always. He has that sweet stroke that jordan used in his fade aways. He needs to do more of the things you dont see on the stat sheet.
Lamar, what a inconsistent player. I could see him as the scottie pippen of the current lakers, but he needs to complete his shots.
Smush, he gets OWNED on the defensive end. Everyone seems to blow right by him. Great potential.
I wish that the Lakers were more of a defensive minded team. Another thing is that when Kobe dishes out the ball, his teammates DO NOT Finish at the offensive end. You cant expect a team to rely on one man for an offensive weapon. Right now the lakers arent balanced out enough to succeed in the postseason. just my 2 cents.
BTW, I love the lakers!

initially, the lakers wanted Wade in the trade for shaq but the Heat did not want to let him go. Lakers should have pushed for Odom and Wade for Shaq but instead we got chucky, odom, brian grant, caron butler.

Also I think the possiblity of Lakers landing Chris Bosh is pretty good. Phil Jackson still expressess his feelings in acquiring him during his up coming free agency time. That's why he got fined. Lakers can make room and offer Bosh a decent amount. KG is out of the question due to his expected pay. Unless he takes a veterans pay as did payton and malone...

i agree about bynum's potential but this is KG. A proven MVP 22/12/5/2/1 guy. team him up with kobe and i think it'll be better than shaq and kobe. garnett works hard so kobe will respect him.

WHO CARES!! They will be lucky to make the playoffs and forget making it past the first round. Even if they decide to play defense!! They are going to play the number one seed. Lucky if they don't get swept.

Let's focus on tonight though fellow Lakers! We're 1 for 2 I believe this season against Sac. after the OT loss last month. Bibby had 40 points in this game...but in our preseason W against the Kings he had 20. Gotta stop Bibby! That guy is one hell of a ball player though...you gotta give it to him.
