I cant see nobody havin a better record than 72-10

No team will lose 9 games or less all year.Bulls were on a mission after failing in 95 after starting out 41-3 that became the goal to break the record.I dont see no team having that kind of focus for 82 games

Nah, I'm not even trolling on this honestly. People often use Boston as the example for teams being able to come together and win titles but they won against a Lakers team that had just come together that year as well.

The Celtics limped through those playoffs and since they eventually won, people remember a team coming together and dancing on all competition. The Heat cruised through most of the playoffs and had a shytty finals and people remember a team that had no chemistry and needed more time together.

excuses and a$$holes. you dudes seriously have no shame. its kinda sad.

I don't think teams need more than a year together. People mention Miami but it wasnt chemistry, it was LeBron not playing like he did this year. I think the Lakers issue is that they're already too old.

You fail to answer this.

What does age have to do with anything when our old players are outplaying their younger counterparts?

So Nash replacing with Sessions is a negative because he's older than him?

Dwight replacing Bynum is a negative because he's older?

Jamison replacing Troy Murphy is a negative because he's older?

Age isn't an issue when our oldest players are STILL first tier in their respective positions.

Because they're still not better than OKC.

:laff:

:deadrose:

we lost two games to OKC due to awful mistakes and breakdowns in the last 2 mins. Sessions was SHOOK all series.

So we replaced our shook PG with a top 5 PG who is cool as ice in pressure situations and replaced our selfish C(still my ex C :to: ) who took plays off with the most dominant big in the league. Oh yea, replaced that weak ass bench with shooters, youth and a player in Jamison who is 15 ppg lock if given the chance.

Maybe OKC is better than us but no one knows. But this team is not even CLOSE to that trash we put on the court in May 2012.

Lakers fans spend too much time talking about how they almost won and not enough time realizing they barely won a game and it took a free throw parade to do it. OKC got the points whenever they needed them and don't forget their bench is much improved too. Fisher was playing major minutes :scusthov:
