Magic Johnson: It's OVER!

[LAKobeBryant]

"It's over for my Lakers. No playoffs, no nothing," the team legend said on ESPN's halftime show Friday, when the Lakers were trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder 64-48.

He's right, unless we do something drastic like right now

I think they might get the 8th spot out the west and i mean might. Defense is disturbingly bad.

[Supreme LA]

I agree.

Is it strange for me to say that I don't have any confidence in the Lakers without Phil anymore?

[GetShrutedOn]

Sounds about right

[jsthornton7]

To win short-term did we **** ourselves long-term?

[lakersRule!!]

The defense is wht's wrong. Too much to overcome unless they change their heads about playing it.

[shep33]

Not even about Phil, this team is not properly built. We're too old, we have some of the worst help defenders in the NBA, our coach sucks... check that, our coaches suck, the bench is probably one of the worst in the NBA, we have inconsistent shooters, selfish players who are divas, and we lack chemistry.

This entire team sucks, we're extremely lucky that we get to rebuild soon.

[K0BE8124]

it seem like every game is over by halftime.....

and even if we had pau, Dwight, Nash,Kobe blah blah blah blah...same **** different day

Anyways its been over and now its for sure over.....

Kobe Plays NO DEFENSE....... wait the whole team

DanTonie
Jim Buss" this team Is great" blah blah blah
Nash i feel bad for you...suns just got a steal about to land a star player in the draft lol
Howard Slowly rethinking this LA thing

YOUR GETTING SMACKED AT HOME BY THE D**K

Mitch CUPCAKE must love watching the WNBA Los Angles Sparks play..

To win short-term did we **** ourselves long-term?

Yes i said we gave up to much for Nash. 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks. People should realise now that Bynum was not the sole problem.

[still1ballin]

I am still keeping hope

[LA_Raiders]

He is right, Pringles must go. Lakers need to play some D.

[jsthornton7]

I am still hopeful, but man, we need some energy quick!

[shep33]

To win short-term did we **** ourselves long-term?

No, we actually have a nice looking future. If Dwight stays... probably unlikely, we'll be a championship team right away imo starting next year.

If Dwight leaves however, we're still in an okay spot. More cap room than any other team, and we still have some decent trade options. Pau is a huge expiring next year, Nash will always have value, and Kobe at least expires after next year.

Unless we do something stupid like.

Let howard walk.

Trade pau for any NON ROOKIE SCALE contract that goes beyound 13-14


Sign Back kobe for any salary > than 5 Million a year.

GO on giving up picks for teams to "eat" our contracts or to get Has Been players.
