The Believers

[soundjunkies2]

Sure.. what is there to lose.

[showtime24]

What makes you a believer though? This roster has not provided anything to make anyone believe they'll make the playoffs. Actually quite the opposite. If it is simply because you're a fan then okay.. Although, it's kind of sad that a lot of Laker fans are just satisfied with making the playoffs with a start studded roster like this.. Sad times in L.A.

We need to make the playoffs first and start from there. But we need to win more games in the regular season too. Fosho all Lakers fans wants another banner.

[GREATNESS ONE]

Never left. Still believe this team can win the whole damn thing.

Lakers will be 8th seed and knock out the clips in the first round

This is what I'm talking about!

Given everything that's already happened that's still an awesome possible future!

There's a time for realism and a time for faith. And nobody says those times can't overlap. Until we know they're finished I'm rooting for them. I know it's a longshot, but I don't have anything better to do.

And by the way, I'm not one of those ******* entitlement fans who think the Lakers owe me anything. I've already gotten more out of being a Laker fan than most sports fans could hope for in ten lifetimes. And I'm confident there's more fun to come.

Atheists don't believe in god.

The smart ones believe in the Lakers.

Absolutely not.

[Mr_Jones]

Atheists don't believe in god.

The smart ones believe in the Lakers.

Fine. Then I believe in the Lakers.

[jsthornton7]

Absolutely not.

I say you apply that resolve to the Lakers as well

[jsthornton7]

Fine. Then I believe in the Lakers.

I've updated it for you

[DayZ]

Make the playoffs? Yep!

[GailGoodrich]

Aren't we technically only 5 games out of 8th?

I believe

If you dot believe what are you still doing here?

Your are right, sir.

We are currently five games back in the loss column:

Care to guess who's currently in 8th place?

Yes, that's right -- that powerhouse team from the north: Portland!

Can I see a show of hands of those people who do not believe we can make up five games on Portland over the remainder of the year?

Anybody?

Vinylman?

Metroman?

NewPowerHouseman?

MetroSexualman? (Or is that Metroman in drag?)

Updated: actually...we're five games out of 6th place, because the 6, 7 and 8 teams all have 16 losses.

I believe but we all must admit certain things must be done. Business as usual ain't gonna get it done
