i love guys that quote the same post twice and the second one is some "I will leave the board forever' bet. LMAO where do you clowns come from? If the Lakers dont make the play offs with this team and youre a Lakers fan you should kill yourself or die of embarrassment. Leaving some shill hole of a forum should be the least of your worries.
Lakers SHOULD make the play offs and easily, but there is a good chance they wont. Even now that they are healthy. I dont make forum bets there isnt anything in it. I just keep fading them as people start to think they are good all of a sudden because they beat a couple bad teams at home. Theyre still 5-9 SU on the road and they have 5 (4 true) road games coming up< which is a joke of a schedule but they still wont go better than 2-3 in those and more than likely 1-4.
But The last part of Jan and first week of Feb is when it gets real, they have 7 road games in 11 days. Against pretty bad teams but still on the road and quick turn arounds. THAT is when we will know if the lakers are going to be any good, because they have a whole month of a cupcake schedule between now and then to get everyone on the same page before their schedule gets 'tough'. But even with the shit teams they have in that stretch their road record the past 2 years suggests theyll probably go 2-5, when if they were even a decent play off team they 'would' go 4-3 or even 5-2.
As for the other time you quoted this post, I said ON THE ROAD Lakers had zero chance, AT HOME they had a coin flip chance. I said it about 3 times. They caught Knicks as Knicks start to realize who they are and they stopped being able to make jump shots. Which I also said would happen eventually. Knicks will end up as a 5 or 6 seed in the east, despite everyone anointing them something really special 5 games into the season.
Lakers have a bunch of hard teams coming up but favorable timing with some of them. So they might steal a few games people might think they should lose. So that just builds up the mentality that lakers are now good.
Lakers will win close games for two reasons going forward, well maybe 3. If Jody Meeks plays well, If refs give them more free throws (by a bit) more than their opponents and lakers make them, and the third, not so crucial, is if Artest makes the shitty 3s he jacks up any time he touches the ball.
