1st Round Playoff Exits
This roster isn't good enough to win a ring no matter how well they play. This is a team of role players that excelling in Mike's system. We aren't an elite defensive team, no reliable 2nd or 3rd scoring option and Mike D'antonie is still the coach.

Nash is done you can forget about him altogether.
:manny: anything is possible breh. @Walt brought up a great point on the podcast, how dirk took, JJ Barea, Terry, ( :old: ) Kidd, etc to the playoffs and a won ship, just a few years ago...

Mavericks were a great team. They were one of the favorites to win it from the start and were on pace to win 60 + games until Dirk went down with an injury in December.

They had a legit defensive anchor, a great wing defender, a reliable second scoring option, multiple 3 point shooters that shot the 3 at a historic level, a great coach and a top 3 player that played out of his mind.

Come on man. You can't compare the current Lakers to that team.

D'Antoni's system has a way of making role players look like stars. Lakers can surprise alot of teams.

I don't think we need a blockbuster trade, just a better PG who can pass and shoot maybe another quality post player who can pass to take some of the pressure of Gasol.

Like @Serious said, that Mavericks team wasn't equipped to win a title at all but they made it work.

This team has more athleticism more talent and more depth than that team, not to mention a much better and more dynamic superstar to lead them.

It can be done :yes:

Kobe comes back and facilitates nicely, the defense gets better and better, Nash comes back healthy and contributes, players keep developing as the season goes by...

That's a team I can see winning it all :manny:
fukking :dead: :dead:

idk if i should write a serious reply or not to this kind of shyt post. Dont think a poster of your caliber (judging from these two awful delusional posts) even warrants a serious reply.

Swaggy P interrupts Sacre's interview :pachaha:Click to press play


Funniest thing about that vid is Swaggy P's reaction. I hope Mitch can find some way to keep him around. He's embracing the spotlight and is out there having fun and enjoying the perks of being a Laker.


Damn shame how much fun this season has been in comparison to last season. This dudes seem to legit like each other and get along great. Nobody making corny jokes or trying to give people stupid nicknames. Just a bunch of dudes out there having fun. shyt really reminds me of that 09 squad in terms of how they support each other and have fun.
