Hey wantitall, your 24-42 prediction isnt looking so good. Doesnt look like they'll be near the lottery, does it?

[antifoil]

i am taking barkley's evaluation of jordan's psyche over yours considering he speaks to jordan regularly.

Are you joking? You believe anything that comes out of barkelys mouth?

[antifoil]

about this sure. he is not going to lie about someone he has been friends with for years.

[zsr]

I just dont buy he's miserable. He would of kept jackson and wallace and hung on as an 8 seed if he wanted to be mediocre. Maybe if they keep losing for the next 2 years sure.

and he just got engaged to a hot model 20 years younger than him.

Once again 24-42 was IF and ONLY if Kobe didnt play this year.

As far as the lottery, still 50/50 they dont make the play offs.

Even at 20-14 theyre only a few games away from falling into 9th place. Basically 3 games from a 10 seed. A few teams have had some injuries and have faltered alittle bit, while lakers ae basically holding steady, once those teams get healthy they catch right back up the Lakers again.

They have 32 games left, theyre 20-14, if they go 5-10 on the road the rest of the way, and 9-8 at home theyll finish 34-32. Pretty much the best finish I could have seen for them. That should get them into a 8 or maybe even a 7 seed.
Like I said as it is that isnt horrible, I would rather have them be an easy first round out than actually get a lottery pick they might be able to use down the road.

Bottomline is I said the team sucked, and said they would be a lot closer to a lottery team than a contender. That is undisputed at this point.

read the first 2 or 3 posts by me in there. Then read all the other foolishness from other people and tell me who was more correct.

Irrelevant anyway, I have made quite a bit of money fading the Lakers so far and dont expect that to slow down. Unless Kobe stops playing and lines go nuts.

End of the day this team is looking to sign rasheed wallace and gilbert arenas, two guys who no other team are even interested in. that is all you need to know about how this team is doing this year.

[zsr]

Do you not realize the cllippers just signed Bobby Simmons? One guy who no other team is interested in. Both LA teams are signing washed up guys, don't ignore the clippers bad moves. They also have Brian cook on the active roster.

Look at the lakers next 10 games. Looks like 8-2. Look like a 4 seed.

You've lost almost every laker play you've posted

yeah I said march would be their month. Look at the next 10 games after that though. 7-3 is more likely for the next 10, maybe even 6-4 if they get on the bad side of a game. But overall they should be around 10-8 or so and around 30-22 going into April. I am giving them some credit for a few extra games there also.

lakers have won every close game this year, to think that will continue is not logical, theyll start losing those games pretty soon. If that happens then who knows.

Clippers signed Simmons to a 10 day contract, hardly a big deal. it isnt like they are giving him a private work out and it is making all sorts of news. Clippers also lost a starter for the year so one would asume they might need to look for a little help. What would the lakers be if Gasol or Bynum tore their Achilles and were out for the season? Comparing the Clippers to the lakers is a frigging joke. THAT right there shows how bad the lakers are. When Clips can lose a starter and still be head and shoulders better than them.

Kobe is very nice

[darkhat]

No worries Wade got Kobe for real. Smashed up nose and probably a concussion. Kobe can talk smack all he want he got bitch slapped and punked out in an All Star Game and didnt do shit about it, and I didnt see anyone running to his defense. Had Kobe fouled someone like that he probably gets mobbed.

You guys can have all your Kobe love and think he is some super guy, shit like that doesnt happen. Eveyrone was getting out of the way for people driving the basket that whole game Kobe went to the basket and got his face broke. Thats better than Pete Rose running over Ray Fosse in an MLB All Star game.

As far as I know Wade hasnt even responded to any of this, he surely didnt during the game. Walked right away. Now that Kobe has been evaluated and shown to be busted up pretty good one would think a cursory apology might be in order. But I havent seen anything. Shows what Wade thinks of kobe thats for sure.

Yes he has apologized, and said there was no intent.

LOL I miss fading them I havent made any bets since they stopped playing last week. I did collect off the guy though. He told me that even though I have been killing him betting against the lakers he has made more this year than he can remember on guys still betting into them like theyre actually good, and he always shades the line at least a half point sometimes a full point or more off most places.

I just think its funny you guys getting all hard over kobe TALKING shit especially since he got his clock cleaned.

As far as what are guys supposed to do. Go watch some old games when guys got knocked around or taken out and see what happened to them. Hell Wade probably got gift boxes from guys for what he did.

lakers are 16-18 ats. so you have been able to fade them selectively enough to win only when they lose ats?

Here is your exact quote and prediction for the Lakers this season:

Jan could be a complete smoke show. If they start Dec 0-5, I see Jan as 6-11 on its own so that makes them 6-16 come Feb. I give them 6-7 in Feb, 8-9 in March, and 5-9 in April. That makes them 25-41

As usual.......you are beyond wrong.

That was if Kobe ,missed the first month. He didnt. Thy are 7-5 in feb right now, if they lose tomorrow they will be 7-6. Not too far from 6-7. As it is they had a couple wins that could have easily been losses. But theyre 7-5 nonetheless right now. That was assuming Kobe was back, which since he never left was the case.

Jan with Kobe they were 10-7. So thinking they would be 6-11 without him isnt a stretch. Think he was worth 4 wins? he scored over 40 that many times which probably did get them those wins.

I have even upped my March prediction for them to be 9-8, but 8-9 is also just as possible.

April will be the show, that one will be interesting. I still say 5-9. Which if they win tomorrow and go 9-8 in March will put them at 35 wins.

You are all also assuming Kobe is going to play and be 100% and that Bynum is not going to break down. he just took a shot, which they claim was nothing but with that guy you never know.

lakers have been as fortunate as you can be, no injuries, bynum has played better than expected and gasol has come on really strong. So sure they have a couple more wins than I figured they would, but they have also had no negatives.


As for their ATS record, theyre 14-20 according to my numbers and 4 of those covers have been in the last 6 games. Before that they were 10-18.

regardless you all better hope Kobe isnt made to sit or miss any real time going forward. if he does then I will be the one squawking as the injury bug finally catches up to them, and if that happens then what? Losing Kobe for games would kill this team. Not only for those games but the extra wear and tear on these guys who are already playing 35+ minutes a night just to stay afloat.

Took them a long long time to release the results of Kobe's check up and it was definitely worded carefully. Guy could have a broken face, and if he does he wont be playing any time soon. Even if he wears a mask. So a concussion and a broken nose. And he is also having other things going on they arent talking about, like I said it has all been worded very carefully.

As for the 'apology' sure I guess. I doubt very highly it was sincere. He probably did it more to avoid any repercussions than anything else. But yeah more than 48 hours after the fact I suppose you can believe what you want. What I heard from him was Kobe fouled him at least twice and he still owed Kobe one. Not ot mention all the shit they have seen in other regular match up, I guess people have forgotten those Christmas games where they were elbowing the shit out of each other.

[zsr]

Do you seriously expect anyone to read all of that gibberish?

Give me a break.

[upscope]

ESPECIALLY at this stage of their careers, I take lebron all day... he can get to the basket better or create a better shot for a teammate... both have had low careers numbers with the ball in their hands for the last possession... but kobes is significantly lower then lebrons

now that kobe has lost explosiveness, all you will get from him is the fade away shot he has missed in 4th quarters all season thusfar including yesterday in the ASG.

Do you realize that Lebron is 0 for his last 17 on shots taken w/ under 5 seconds to play & his team either tied or down 1-3 points?? Do you know what 0-17 does for your stats??

In that same time span since LeBron succeeded under this criteria Kobe has hit 6 shots.

Would you care to explain how in the fukkin world you would honestly choose LeBron over Kobe to take the last shot of the game??

It's one thing to argue that LeBron is a better play @ this stage but to argue that you would rather have LeBron take that shot than Kobe is pure lunacy.

Ohhhh for fukkin' 17 dude!!!!

must have missed this tidbit

Sorry Kobe has been obliterating your bankroll wanti...................

This is a downright classic right here

[upscope]

Didn't this hater start a thread saying how he had the Lakers going 5-8 in Feb?? He devoted an entire thread to the fact that the Lakers were going to go 5-8 in Feb. He analyzed each game and "assigned" wins & losses a month in advance. He does this each month & each month the Lakers exceed his expectations. He then starts UP w/ the excuses how they got "lucky" in 3 of those wins & didn't have any significant injuries & the other team was missing this player or that player. He keeps babbling about how the Lakers win all the close ones, we'll first of all winning the close ones is a sign of a good team & second of all I specifically remember the Lakers blowing a 7 point lead to Chicago in the last 30 seconds of the game & a 7 point lead to Indiana in the last minute

Can somebody tell me how close he was to his 5-8 February prediction
