WHAT A SEASON!!! GOOD NIGHT LAKERS!!!

[OutlawImmortal]

Name 1 team that played the season at full health. Rule #76 no excuses...

Just saying, it's not a flop if you never even got to see the full team for most of the year.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Actually I didn't but he is dead on when he say that what the Yankees did was more of a choke and not a flop.

When is the last time a team who was predicted to be in the finals or at least the WCF failed so poorly?

Almost all of the experts had the Lakers in the finals or in the WCF at least.

Bk slap yourself. Did the experts know Kobe was going to be hurt when they made those predictions?

The Bulls have been more injury plagued than the Lakers I don't think that is debatable, but the Bulls are coached well and play with heart and passion. The Lakers are not coached well and don't play with heart.

 

[piss-tons]

weren't* and didn't*. Forgot the Lakers aren't playing anymore...

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Using Wildpussy logic, the Patriots flopped when they didnt make the playoffs the year Brady was hurt.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

And the Bulls play in the East.

 

[piss-tons]

So? This was the question: "Name one team this year who were forced to start reserves in the playoffs."

You make it seem like Kobe got hurt in November. Kobe got hurt with 2 games left in the year. The Lakers were going to be a 7th or 8th seed with or without Kobe so stop using that poor excuse.

Would the Lakers have played better in the playoffs with Kobe? Obviously but Kobe was there basically the entire regular season and they still were a bad team most of the year.

How many games total did the Lakers top 2 players miss?

Howard and Bryant were there pretty much all year long.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

And my point is, its easier for the bulls, but anyway!

And how are you going to say its a flop because most experts had them in the wcf or finals, when they didnt even get the chance to prove they can with Kobe out for the playoffs?

 

[piss-tons]

Because it was obvious that even with Kobe the Spurs were going to beat the Lakers.

At most they maybe win 2 but I think with Kobe they lose in 5.

The fact that that they didn't know if they would make the playoffs or not until 700 PST on the final day of the season is what made their season a flop barring an unbelievable run to at least the conference finals.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Yes the Lakers had a bad season, but they were playing .700 ball at the end and we dont know how they wouldve turned out in the playoffs.

Playing .700 ball against shitty teams.

Do us all a favor LUSC.

1) Find us the Lakers record against the other 7 teams in the western playoffs

2) Find us the Lakers road record against the other 7 playoffs team in the west

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

The Lakers having a chance against the Spurs was a shock to yall? Yall must hated when a lot of those so call experts felt the Lakers can beat the spurs

The same experts that predicted the Lakers to be in the finals.

I actually watch a lot of basketball. I don't let expert predictions who probably seen less games than I did this season bother me a bit.

Lakers w or w/out Kobe would have been lucky to win 2 games against the Spurs

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Bk, last time I checked, the playoffs were about matchups, I dont give a damn about all those stats. They mean little when it comes to playoffs.

 

[piss-tons]

Not really, those same experts saw the Lakers in the finals too. The Lakers don't even match up well with the Spurs either.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

You the one that brought up the experts foolie.
