Just like that, Lakers are the Hottest team in the NBA

[sosolid4u09]

Going by last 10 games, lakers are first with 9-1!

That happens to be the games since Bynums started!

Panic over?

oi dont jinx it!

[M.Bustly15A5RU8]

poor man's Greg Oden...he'll get injured again...maybe not as fast as he's poor man's Greg Oden..but he will

[magnax1]

And that means... nothing...
People shouldn't have panicked about a stretch of bad games, but they always do, and it's quite sad really.

:lol, we had so many threads stating "lakers are done", "witness the end of kobes era"....Lakers do this every year I tell ya...

[TrueRob]

Their schedule's gonna get a lot tougher in the coming weeks.

[Force]

Lakers have also played the easiest schedule in the whole NBA. These recent stretch of games haven't been very impressive though, despite collecting the W's.

[tx_dave]

Any impressive wins in this "hot streak"?

[Hulk Hogan]

Any impressive wins in this "hot streak"?

Knicks? :confusedshrug:

u hope so

[ashbelly]

Bring this thread back up after Valentines day. Their easy schedule has ended, starting monday to valentines day, it will be good to see how they do during this part of the schedule. I predict 5+ L's.

Quoted.

I predict 3 L's in a row for the Heat.

Oh, that has already happened? OHHH Snappp

[creepingdeath]

u hope so
Na, I don't give a sh*t about the Lakers. Most likely won't make it out of the first round anyway. :lol

These tough games coming up is good for L.A. Playing a bunch of a bad teams in november/december isn't exactly a good thing for this group.

Anybody who knew L.A knew once Bynum was healthly they would go on a win streak and the fact it's getting near the key part of the season the Lakers will be going out to pull up big wins. They have a tough part of the schedule coming up but this is what they would want. They will get up for these games.

Shame Barnes is out for a while, typical now that Bynum is back somebody else is out.

Yes, these tough games is.

Disagree. It was not that it was just a stretch of bad games, but it was a stretch of bad games against *BAD* teams. No excuse for that last stretch because they should have taken care of things. Considering the next 5 games go something like this Clippers, Thunder(back to back), Mavericks, Nuggets, Jazz, now if they lose some games they are going to regret losing those ones that they should have had.

[bluechox2]

kobe has gotten better after that losing streak

[elementally morale]

Yes, these tough games is.

:facepalm

Wanted to sound smart, eh?

[momo]

poor man's Greg Oden...he'll get injured again...maybe not as fast as he's poor man's Greg Oden..but he will

Obvious troll is obvious.



Panic over?

Maybe... they are definitely playing better recently, but for the most part they have been beating less than elite teams. If they can win sunday AND monday, that will qualify as a role IMO. Still not the elite, but they would have won quite a few games in a short span, and 2 back to backs.

Wins against Jazz, Celtics and Spurs at the end of the month will make a statement that the champs are gearing up.

[mashbelly]

im glad you're proud of them beating d-league teams :oldlol:

[d.bball.guy]

We'll see against Thunder on MLK Day.

So you're penciling all those in as wins already huh?

[All Net]

So you're penciling all those in as wins already huh?

no, I meant as in IF they do win those games.

Tough but with all 3 being at home you would expect them to win all 3 if they play well like they have been. We need those wins and I think Phil and co knows this.

[SinJackal]

Oh okay. I agree with you then, if they can grab wins against Boston and SA, that'll be a nice statement that they're back. Assuming they have all their pieces at the time. KG should be back by then I think.

Though it would've been more impressive if those weren't all home games for LA. Those are in the middle of a long homestand.

[MMM]

Sure LA hasn't played the most formidable opponents but blowing out bad teams instead of losing or playing tight games indicates they are playing vastly improved ball.

That will come in feb :oldlol:

[SinJackal]

That will come in feb :oldlol:

That's when the Spurs game you mentioned takes place, in Feb'. And the homestand starts in late Jan, with the Jazz game after a three day rest period.

Not trying to naysay the possible wins, just pointing it out.

[zay_24]

poor man's Greg Oden...he'll get injured again...maybe not as fast as he's poor man's Greg Oden..but he will
boy stoppp

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

That will come in feb :oldlol: No it won't.

[All Net]

No it won't.

Don't comment on something you don't even know what I was talking about.

[All Net]

That's when the Spurs game you mentioned takes place, in Feb'. And the homestand starts in late Jan, with the Jazz game after a three day rest period.

Not trying to naysay the possible wins, just pointing it out.

The Spurs game is feb 4th, with the road road trip just after that. Jazz game the 26th of jan.

That 7 game road trip should be no worse than 5-2.

[asdf1990]

Lol no.. They beat up on the scrubs.

[All Net]

Lol no.. They beat up on the scrubs.

So did Miami but they still got credit.

Doesn't matter who you beat in the regular season as long as you get the wins for HCA.

[ashbelly]

We'll see against Thunder on MLK Day.


Spoke too soon.

[chris2010]

Definitely playing together much better as of late. as long as we do that we are near impossible to beat. and to Fulk Hogan, yeah Kobe is cutting down on taking Stupid shots and focusing on other parts of the game like defense and distributing which helps make the team at its best.

[Gr00vy Baby]

Wait, is this the same "hottest team" that the Clippers just minced?

[Gr00vy Baby]

:lol

[d.bball.guy]

Spoke too soon.
We saw it earlier. We are not the hottest team, Nets are.

[ashbelly]

We saw it earlier. We are not the hottest team, Nets are.


:facepalm By the way i've predicted 5 + losses for the lakers starting tommorrow until Valentines day.

[VishaltotheG]

I'll respond for Laker fans:
lulz it's just a reg sezoun game wtf luzer kobbe will trun it up real quick in june :pimp: :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

[icemanfan]

except if your the Spurs then the ishidiots talk shit.
P.S. Hey Net its been a while. How are you doing.

[icemanfan]

Clippers are no joke this season. I really enjoy watching them play too. I am happy the old school Clipper fans have something to cheer about these days.

[d.bball.guy]

:facepalm By the way i've predicted 5 + losses for the lakers starting tommorrow until Valentines day.
Are you facepalming me or the Lakers?

[Walduś]

I'll respond for Laker fans:
lulz it's just a reg sezoun game wtf luzer kobbe will trun it up real quick in june :pimp: :pimp: :pimp: :pimp:
i bet if the bulls won the last 2 chips you would be saying the same thing.

[SinJackal]

The Spurs game is feb 4th, with the road road trip just after that. Jazz game the 26th of jan.

That 7 game road trip should be no worse than 5-2.

Road trip? I was talking about the homestand the Lakers have from Jan 22nd- Feb 3rd. They play the Jazz, Kings, Celtics, Rockets, then Spurs in that 5 game homestand.

I think there is some miscommunication here. :P

[Mr. Jabbar]

OP should take note, and never again make a "Lakers on a hot streak" thread, ever

[thomaspynchon]

You know what would be sweet. lakers slip to 4th and play spurs in the semis

[LAClipsFan33]

Clippers are no joke this season. I really enjoy watching them play too. I am happy the old school Clipper fans have something to cheer about these days.

:cheers:

[griffmoney1784]

deciding who is better between gasol and blake is answered differently based on a teams needs


if the lakers didnt already have a main go to guy ( kobe )...then pau is more valuable since thats hard to find

but for a team that has a go to guy.... i would rather add blake to the team than gasol ...

blake has all the things pau lacks

athleticism
effort
intensity
speed
power
dunking
defense

i would easly trade pau for blake right now

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

You know what would be sweet. lakers slip to 4th and play spurs in the semis

not sweet for spurs fans

[All Net]

except if your the Spurs then the ishidiots talk shit.
P.S. Hey Net its been a while. How are you doing.

I'm good man, hows things with you?

Your boys are playing some amazing ball right now. Think you will get HCA throughout at this rate. Glad to see you still popping by. Do it more

[All Net]

Road trip? I was talking about the homestand the Lakers have from Jan 22nd- Feb 3rd. They play the Jazz, Kings, Celtics, Rockets, then Spurs in that 5 game homestand.

Yeah I know, I was replying to the comment about getting impressive road wins and this is what the next big road trip is.

Yeah those home games are a must otherwise getting HCA could be very tough.
