There is no fan base that complains more about officiating than Laker fans. Every time Kobe drives the lane it is a fucking travesty if there isn't a foul called. Give it a rest. The suns hit 22 3 pointers on you guys. Why don't you focus on the fact that you allowed the suns to get so many open looks from behind the arc, and focus less on what you can't control.

uh, did you watch the game? you can't say anything about the officiating if you didn't actually watch the game in it's entirety. i'm well aware that our rotation off screens was bad. we were mix-matched all game long. i never said the massive amount of 3's wasn't a result of poor defense. go kill yourself, please, for the love of god. i'm ignoring all your posts from now on.

I watched the game. But not with the same interest as a Laker's fan. I know when one of my teams plays I get upset about bullshit calls. But the Lakers needed more than a couple calls to win that game.

In response to your inability to handle differing opinions, grow up. You've been acting like a bitch since my first comment way back. That was a joke. I manned up to it. And you're still acting like I attacked you. Did I follow you into other threads to express my displeasure about your childishness? No. If by simply reading my text gets you so heated that you need to lose your shit every time you read it, you may have a larger problem than me.

I have been talking basketball for the last week. Ignore my posts. I could care less.

It wasn't bad officiating. It was just bad defense. I watched the whole game. Look at how many open 3 pointer they gave to the Suns. Even the replay shows all the open looks.

Yeah they lost by a few points. But a lost is a lost. Just like how everyone is bashing the Heat for losing games. They have been playing way more difficult teams than the Lakers and the Hornets. Just look at their schedule. Half of their games are against teams that are playoff contender teams. If not finals. (celtics & magics) And they are playing Magics again next week.

The point is they lost every game within a reasonable margin. First loss to celtics - 8 points. Hornets- 3 points Utah- OT 2 points Celtics- 5 points.

Officiating was fine throughout the game. At the end of the game, Odom should've gotten the And1 before he got the T. And WTF was Kobe doing shooting at 50ft 3 pointer at the end.

did you not see that in-bound to nash where he clearly stepped on the line? that was a huge possession against us

there was also that 'travel' on sasha and an offensive foul on kobe where he barely touched hill. now that's not to say i'm blaming the loss on the poor calls. i'm just saying, it attributed to it, if even a little

what a shame to hear about oden. i feel bad for portland fans - they don't seem to get lucky when it comes to healthy draft picks

[Tee212]

Im not sure if Cp3 n friends are for reals right now???

another huge game from the killa b's

[prichards516]

Is it just me or does the Knicks actually have a chance to make the playoffs. I dont want to jump the gun because it is early in the season but currently they are on a 5 game win streak which just does not happen in new york lol

Another LOSS when LEADING BY 19+.

Thats LA Lakers for you.

So far this season is great. Lots of surprise teams coming up strong.

Miami, is the biggest disappointment IMO this season. I would like to see them play better, because they have so much potential, yet they can't play together yet. Maybe next year or so they'll start proving themselves.

I also like San Antonio's performance so far. They played very well.

How did the Lakers lose 4 times in a row?

Ohh I'm sorry.. You must have misinterpreted the thread title... See in LA it reads, "let's talk about the Lakers because they are the only team on the planet that we give a shit about."

But yes, the knicks are above .500. The last win was against the Nets.

LMAO... Theres no doubt in my mind LA will probably win the chip again, i mean they do have "The Best Player in the World" Kobe Bryant so im not surprised. But u gotta give the knicks some props for even being over .500. They have one of the best road records in the NBA btw. If they could just represent at home they would be in good shape.

Oklahoma-Chicago ----- great game so far.

i like the way Chicago plays this year. strong team along with Utah.

[d33v00n3h]

Yeah Chicago has definitely been playing better. Derrick Rose has his name in a lot of MVP discussions too..

[JhnR]

and superman, along with Witzky and Kobe of course
