the lakers will have a playoff chance if kobe will stop being such a fuckin ballhog.

the lakers are probably one of the most improved squads of the year. they CAN beat the jazz if they play their game, with kobe distributing the ball in addition to scoring, and lamar playing his usual point-forward position, and if needed, having #24 take over in the fourth. i didn't actually watch the bucks game so i can't tell you why they lost, but i bet it had something to do with michael redd dropping 45. damn. i bet the bucks aren't missing rayray too much. haha.

I don't know about draft picks but I've believed that many NBA games are fixed for quite some time now and this year's playoffs are a good example.  The Lakers had no business taking the Suns to 7 just as the Cavs shouldn't have taken the Pistons to 7 (Don't get me wrong, I love the Cavs, but no talent outside of the King).  Who is on those teams?  Arguably the most engaging personality off the court (Kobe) and the most exciting player to watch on the court (LeBron).  those two guys = ratings = higher revenues for the NBA

SUNS BABY!!! We finally got on track again - Nash, LB, 3D, TT, Matrix, are all on it...The Lakers never should have let us up off the mat. They can't run with us - we have shown we can get physical, and Smush, Kwame, and the rest (besides Odom) have tightened up. S-U-N-S Suns Suns SUNS!!!

Lots of Kobe haters in this question.. Well here i am, a laker fan for life.. And although Kobe is not the best Laker of them all.. He is our warrior now.. and we will defend him..\n\nFirst off, f*ck nasty neezy and his low analytical skillz,he just a retard fan who didnt get a kobe autograph so he just sourgraping! haha! And Kobe is no ballhog no more,did u watch the first round?where were you guys?were u watching beverly hills 90210 on old vhs tapes?! Kobe is a ballhog?Have u morons been watching too much football?\n\nAnyways,The lakers will win a championship if the management will get someone to compliment Kobes game, like a KG,or someone who can step up when Kobes being double teamed.. Not necessarily a star but not like Odom who cant even scare a cute little chihuahua..Brown?drop him, a harmless tree could do better defense..\n\nLakers will get another Champioship with Kobe leading the way.. \nNo doubt about it, even if nasty neezy begs Kobe and licks his balls clean..

Hate is such a harsh word. \nThe Lakers and the Spurs suck compared to the Pistons. Last year, the Spurs just got a break from crooked officials.

I agree with u man.  They need to be more enthusiastic and cheer them.  That may be a reason why the Lakers also didn't play with much enthusiasm against the Bucks tonight.  I think that the fans need to hype the players, so they play with more energy.  A crowd really helps, but they have to get involved.  Sadly, I'm a lakers fan and live in Hawaii.  If I was at staples you'd hear me yelling for them.

Kobe is in a whole different league then them. I mean come on 81 points in one game. A.I or Dwade couldn't do that if they wanted to.

It's not going to be the most exciting series. Also, I'm not just saying this because I'm a Laker fan (It's actually been proven), but almost any series with the Lakers is sure to be a great series. The same can be said for like 2 or 3 other teams in the NBA... I think.

I watch almost every Lakers' game, so I'm used to their comebacks (even if it doesn't lead to a win).\n\nBUT, KOBE'S 81 POINT GAME LEFT ME SPEECHLESS. SPEECHLESS.  JUST PLANE AMAZING AMAZING. I STILL DON'T HAVE THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT.\nAMAZING AMAZING AMAZING .. TRULY A STAR .. \n\n41 MINS\n28-46 FG %60.86\n7-13 3PT %53.8\n18-20 FT %90\n6 REB\n2 AST\n3 STLS\n1 BLK\n81  PTSSS\n\nAMAZING

The Lakers are going to have a TOUGH time making the playoffs. \n\n...Oh, and they aren't even the BEST team in Los Angeles anymore. The Clippers have been the btter team for two years.

No contest buddy. The playoffs are a different story: the tempo gets slower and you need to bring your game to a higher level. The suns will have to play the MVP and best active player in the nba in kobe bryant, which is no easy task. Its not even kobe either, people keep forgetting that the lakers are actually a legitimite team with a resurgent Kwame Brown living up to his potential and Lamar Odom, who is a triple double threat every night. Add smush parker and a much improved luke walton and you got the lakers going to the second round. A seven game series where the suns try to run will be their own demise. Steve Nash isnt god. Kobe Bryant will solidify his claim for the MVP.

Probably. They are currently 7th in the Western Conference, and they are playing better than they were at the start of the season. Who is going to pass them? Golden State? Utah? Maybe. But I think the Lakers will make it. Of course, there is a good chance they will get creamed in the first round, but they'll be there.
