It also reminds me of the entire Lakers 2012/13 team.

 

But have of our team remaining are d-league players, so can't really count. They were expected to be good. ive never seen oden play yet. and bynum is just a bum. Howard and gasol, can't run the floor, Nash is out, Blake is out, duhon hasn't played in ages it seems, so we have back up players. Lets hope they can pull off Jeremy Lin rabid scoring.
Thank The Lord, bulls had Nate Robinson. 34 points, come back victory!

Remember the Dallas/ lakers series, Bynum throws down barrea. Intense!!!

 

And Howard got himself ejected from the game tonight.

This is why I don't like him at all (in addition to whining all the time); he got himself ejected on stupidity when team probably needed him the most. Lakers were gonna lose tonight either way, but for a guy who gets paid close to $20 million his season he could be a little more professional.

I'm pretty sure he even got upset that the Lakers made the playoffs - 4 additional games cut his summer vacation time by 10 days ... Lakers should keep Gasol and trade Howards for few really good bench players. Unlike Howard, Gasol always gives 100% and IMO he's one of the most underrated players in the NBA.

 

...eeeeennnnd scene

 

Welcome to the curry show!

 

I am in 110% agreement with you. Spot on!!

 

I agree, scrap everyone on the team but gasol and Kobe, they need some young bodies on that team.

Spurs team know it too, look what they say.

Dump Howard and go with someone that's better class of player. Unrestricted free agent,

 

Zinnng

 

Amen to that!!

 

LN?? Loser Nation??

 

Oh brother!!

 

It was a question. Lol is that what LN stands for? Lol

 

That guy... Not worth the hype.. Harden on the other hand..that guy rocks

 

They had a long conversation about Howard last night on the Inside the NBA. They talked how he's been doing the same thing to the Lakers that he's done to the Orlando last year.
He know what the Lakers can offer him and he knows that other teams can offer him. So he doesn't need to wait until September to say where he's gonna play next season. Its just not professional.

Both Barkley and Shaq talked how Howard has no heart for the basketball and how he hasn't matured at all since his rookie season. He could've been a much better player if he worked harder.

IMO, Lakers needs to sign & trade Howard for few solid players (maybe Minnesota is still interested in him for Pekovic and Williams). Get rid of the Artest too and especially D'Antoni.
Keep Clark, Jamison and Blake for the bench.

 

Beats me, I have no clue,
I don't have tv or Internet besides on the phone,
Life is so much less of head ache with out it, so point being, I don't know all these new fancy phrases or abbreviations

 

That statement just blew my mind. Wha?

 

Why get rid of d'antoni? Wish would of saw what Barkley and TNT crew said about Howard. "Priceless"!!!

I think if they sign and trade, their worried about the new tax they make teams pay.
Anyone who knows about that, could you comment. I'm pretty sure that's something new the league added

 

Yep, got rid of both 4-5 years ago. And I'm not a old fart either.
Life is less hectic. More time on my hands

 

Ejection. Turnovers. Loss. In their final game of the tumultuous 2012-2013 season, the Lakers were defeated 82-103 by the San Antonio Spurs.

There is very little to analyze in this one. It's been the same story all series. The Lakers were unable to take advantage of their interior play due to their extremely limted back court. Dwight Howard, who had been frustrated with the officiating all series long, was ejected in the 3rd quarter after receiving his second techincal foul. Kobe Bryant joined his mates on the bench shortly after amidst cheers from the Staples Center crowd. When Pau Gasol left the game late in the 4th, he too was greeted with a standing ovation.

Credit San Antonio for being focused and having no mercy on the depleted Lakers. As a competitor you always want to take your opponent's best shot. San Antonio certainly didn't pull any punches. Good luck to them in the next round.

What's Next?

As for the Lakers, this now begins a time when many decisions will be made. Should Pau be traded? Should the amnesty be used? Is Coach D'Antoni going to be the coach going forward? I'll cover some of these topics and more in follow on posts throughout the offseason so stay tuned.

This year has been trying. Coaching changes, media drama, and catastrophic injuries have left their mark on this team. And much like those friends who only hang around you when you're doing well and things are going good, all the bandwagon fans have fallen to the wayside. Free to join the OKCs, the Clippers, and the HEATs of the world. I, like so many other loyal Lake Show fans across the world, choose to stay and remain loyal.

This year has had its good times too. The first time we watched Kobe, Nash, Pau, and Dwight in uniform together was special. Watching Kobe dominate at age 34 on his way to earning the nickname "Vino" was something I'll never forget. And lastly watching the team bond through the race for the final playoff spot...it was just simply a lot of fun. Before Kobe went down the league was on notice, trust me. However, it just didn't work out for us this year.

Season Notables:

The Good:
- The team bonded through adversity
- Dwight got much better as the season progressed
- Kobe was every bit "Kobe" and then some
- Some promising young players began to develop (Clark and Hill)
- The race to make the playoffs was just as exciting as the playoffs themselves normally are lol

The Bad:
- Unsure if the team was able to forge an identity when it comes to play style
- Defense was a problem for the majority of the season
- Health uncertainty for next season
- Roster uncertainty for next season

We've been through tough times before, we will rise again. Remember missing the playoffs the year Shaq left? Yeah, we'll be back...


GO LAKERS!!!
