NBA : What happened to Lakers?

I'm just so surprised about the LAKERS' score. 0-3? And it's already SEASON,not PRE-SEASON. I'm expecting that they are stronger than my favorite team Thunder,but I just can't believe. They have Nash and Howard already. What more when it comes to PLAY-OFFS,are they gonna play better or the same?
What's the problem LAKERS?

You'll just blocking the way so soft of my favorite team Oklahoma City THUNDER to play again the FINALS even if Harden traded to Houston ROCKETS.

What do you think about the LAKERS guys?

​

 

maybe they still working on thier chemistry too early too predict what they'll gonna be at this point of time

 

oh,I see. But,they are the one who only scores 0-3 in team LAKERS after 34 years.

 

Pretty sure the Lakers have a weak bench and they are probably still gelling together.

Anyways the Thunder will probably benefit from that trade as Kevin Martin is more experienced.

 

Lakers has alot of problems and pressure.

problems:
1. Ultra weak bench
2. Ultra weak coach
3. Princeton Offense doesnt work
4. Ultra weak coach ... oh forgot i said that already.
5. Nash is not doing his game when he was healthy. (princeton did that) but if I know Nash wont let his team continue losing, so he'll probably do something the coach doesnt want him to do soon.
6. Weak against running teams like (Heat, Thunder) anyone that runs.

whats good:
1. they can always trade someone to revamp the bench.
2. they can always fire Mike Brown and get either Sloan or Shaw or anyone. At this situation, any coach is better.
3. they have the best defender, which i think can help the worse PG defender (Nash).
4. Kobe
5. Kobe


hahaha

As for OKC..
I just hate Westbroke. they traded the wrong Guy and they should have amnestied Perkins and kept harden w/ the 60m contract. and Also, its like they signed Ibaka over harden.. Ibaka has an overpaid contract.

Martin isnt Harden, but if they can find a way for it to work, then he can be lethal. (Martin is a set up type of guy, he cant create same as Harden and he can't distribute the ball same as Harden (u can compare how Harden is now w the rockets)).
also they have Lamb, Presti must love him so much and might have a plan for him.

anyway, Thunder has Durant, but i just hate westbroke.

 

Lets just hope Harden doesn't end up like McGrady playing 2nd grade basketball in China at 33. xD

haha yea. if Mcgrady didnt have back problems, then i think it could have been a different story.
what a waste.

 

yeah. You're right,Westbrook is some sort of greedy man but I always like his driving and getting foul.
My only idol there is KD. ^^

 

you're right. I can always remember the 13 pts. in 33 seconds.
sad ending.

 

If only his drives are successful more than 50% everytime he does it or atleast he doesnt hurt the team more ... but he fails more than succeeding. and hurts his team more. thats why i call him WestBROKE. haha

 

yeah. that's really insane. Not like KD,more on jumpshots.

 

KD has passed 10,000 career points and hes just turned 24. Imagine in 10 years time.

 

ITS THE COACH.................THE BIG PROBLEM.....just like CLEVELAND BEFORE.................

 

yeah. KD's very nice. Not greed and do not fail always.

 

HAHA! BIG SIZE huh?
Really hate the coach?

 

[h=1]Despite Lakers’ 0-3 record, Kobe Bryant still trying to take big picture outlook[/h]
As he sat by his locker processing the Lakers’ 0-3 record, Kobe Bryant’s cell phone went off.
The alarm buzzed louder and louder, mimicking the high shrieked noise used when ordering an evacuation. Plenty of Lakers fans are likely sounding a similar noise. After all, the Lakers’ 105-95 loss Friday to the Clippers marked the team’s worst start since the 1978-79 season.
Yet, Bryant hardly sounded worried. This timer just let him know when he could take his feet out of an ice bath. As far as whether he and his teammates should actually sound their own alarm, Bryant maintained a bemused tone.
“We’re hitting the panic button now,” Bryant said sarcastically.
He had the same smirk he shared the day earlier when he told concerned Lakers fans and critics alike simply to “shut up.” But then Bryant turned serious.
“We’re not supposed to just coast and assume things will fix themselves, he said. “We got to push at it.”
It’s a dicey proposition for Bryant, let alone the Lakers, to maintain the right balance between keeping sights on the big picture without worrying if the team’s 0-3 start suggests long-term implications. As the Lakers’ star admitted, “it’s particularly hard for me because I’m not the most patient individual in the world.”
Nonetheless, Bryant vows not to overreact to the Lakers’ latest adversity.

He chalked up the team’s 20 turnovers and giving up 20 second-chance points as easily correctable problems. Bryant also recognizes that as talented as this Hall-of-Fame laden team is with Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, they still remain a fundamentally old team.
“It’s a thinking man’s game. We just got to figure out what we’re doing wrong and try to correct it,” Bryant said. “We have to think through the process of what we’re trying to do, how we want to play offensively, how we maintain floor balance and how we cut down second chance points. We just have to think through it. We’re not the most athletic team in the world so we can’t just say play hard. We have to outthink teams. That takes some time.”
Still, there’s plenty of issues surrounding this team that warrant concern.
Clippers guard Chris Paul had more assists (15) than the entire Lakers team. Dwight Howard can’t get out of foul trouble (averaging 5.3 per game). The Lakers’ bench has proven unreliable, ranging from Jordan Hill’s flimsy health (herniated disk), Antawn Jamison’s lack of scoring and Jodie Meeks’ fluctuating playing time.
Meanwhile, Bryant’s 40-point effort on 14 of 23 shooting, including 17 fourth-quarter points, shows he rightfully doesn’t have enough confidence in the Princeton-style offense in the short-term. With Steve Nash expected to be sidelined for at least a week because a fracture in his left leg, it’s possible the Lakers’ learning curve could exacerbate even more.
“It’s like taking a fish and telling him to walk out on water,” Bryant said about staying positive. “But I’ll do my best.”
Bryant has done that thus far by publicly defending Brown’s system and pleading for patience. After all, the 1990-91 Chicago Bulls team went 0-3 in Phil Jackson’s first offense the first season.
“He’s going to speak the truth when he talks,” Brown said, “and he’s going to speak his mind.”
But what Bryant has said to the team remains unclear. Howard remained awkwardly silent when I asked him questions about how Bryant’s handled the team’s latest adversity and what he’s stressed to the team. Each question, Howard noticeably refused to move his mouth.
Publicly at least, Bryant will stay positive. He feels he has no other choice.
“I’ll be patient for understanding it’s my responsibility and understanding that’s part of my role,” Bryant said. “Believe it or not, I try to be the voice of reason. Keep us going and keep on trucking. I’ve been through these things before and I have to continue the process.”

 

they should have chosen Brian Shaw. he knows the triangle. PHil thought him the secrets..

 

So much copy/paste D:

 

I wonder which site thats from

 

i just lost faith in the lakers, they are awfully bad and they won't go nowhere without phil jackson.
