IF they would have fought as hard in past 3 qtrs as these last 3 minutes....well ya know

Indeed we do...

 

[Black Adam]

Wow, whatta gaff by Detroit...

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

This game is a win for the Lakers.

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

We have guys this year willing to take the crucial shot outside of Kobe....Shawne, Swaggy P, Jordan and Blake. If Wesley can get that confidence EVERY game it's gonna be a surprising year. But the D has to improve ...no brainer

 

[Black Adam]

Door's closed, the lights are out...

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Good thing Blake didn't close this game at PG...it was FArmar

 

[Retroram52]

Done deal baby. Finally past the .500 hump!

You nailed it, Bam. Other teams, better ones, are gonna go inside with impunity...

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

Yeah Blake is a liability most games - I'd love Farmar to close out games

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Lakers above .500 baby baby!!

Yeah, Farmar was clutch if you don't mind fouling a guy shooting a 3 and then missing 2 free throws.

 

[Black Adam]

Lakers above .500 baby baby!!

And a sweep over the Pistons...

Nice to win games you should win. It's to see the Lakers aren't just throwing in the towel this season.

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

You look back they had a shot at winning a couple of other games but inexperience got the best of them - I have a good feeling about this team. Night and day between last years team in terms of competing, athletic, the bench, 3 pt shooting, etc.
With exception of SA/OKC, no other team showing dominance in the very tough WC.

This team is fun to watch!! I said before the season (as did most of us) that I wanted to see a team that was fun to watch and played hard every night, anything else would be gravy. So far, they are fun to watch and play hard every night.

When Kobe comes back, if he can fit in well with this team and be "the closer" that they need, maybe we'll get a little gravy with what we're seeing so far?

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

Gravy is what I'm talking about...my prediction is we'll see Kobe play next weekend sometime

Sounds about right. Lol it'd be great to see this team beat the Heat on Christmas day...

 

[Retroram52]

IDK LakersUSCBam. I think CL67 is closer to Kobe's own self-proclaimed return because Kobe mentioned recently that his return is going to be "weeks". So I see him returning around Christmas. But, you, know, the way these young guys are playing, we have some guys who are really becoming ice cold closers and I am not sure we really need Kobe to be that anymore.

I think a better role for him would be to fit more into the rotation just like everyone else and to play hard and bring the energy but to say that he has to have the ball at the end of the game, I think those days are rapidly disappearing.
