Official 2012/2013 NBA Season

looks like the kings are close to a deal to sell to a group that will move the team to seattle next season..no wonder the maloofs reneged on the arena deal..they were selling the team and didn't want to be tied to an arena so the new owners can move it anywhere they want...

Originally posted by j_lucky84 Originally posted by lightning80 Originally posted by mluu003 Went to my first Lakers game tonight...why did they have to lose against Denver.    looks like there's been a shift of powers in the west...clippers, warriors, and griz rising...lakers and mavericks dipping. i can see why the mavs aren't doing well with dirk just returning from surgery and basically a whole new team of support players. but, the lakers with all their star players and still struggling to win games just doesn't make sense. Miami had their struggles with the first year of their superstar lineup. Though.. Their lineup is unarguably younger than the Lakers. I'm perfectly happy with the shift in power!

Haha, will they even make the playoff this year?

I just picked up D Rose. I was afraid that I picked him up too early, but I was going to be even more pissed if someone beat me to him. I'm currently 2nd place, so I thought I could sit on him and hopefully still make playoffs

Originally posted by davidkahn1 lakers or clippers further in the playoffs?

...hahah damnit. WILL LAKERS EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS?!

Originally posted by lightning80 ^ yeah...the lakers probably won't even make the playoffs this year..with the way they've been playing..plus the recent injuries...

I know, so many stars injured! Howard, Gasol, Hill, and Blake? Geez c'mon.

With the way they're playing big Dwight might not want to resign with the team!! Lakers fans would have been talking championships before the year now would be extremely happy to scrape into the playoffs all together

Originally posted by rurchan Do u think it's possible for the Lakers to come back and sneak into the playoffs?

The Lakers will def squeeze into the playoffs as a 6,7, or 8 seed and in a 7 game series they will knock out one of the better teams in the first round which will make their run to the west finals a lot easier. (my opinion)

lakers are gone, i dont think they have a hope of making the play offs with the injuries they have at the moment.

Warriors on the other hand put up a solid win last night. Got a scare from Damian Lillard who went OFF in the fourth. That kid can straight ball

thing with the lakers is that they haven't all played together for more than like a week, someone is always hurt; hopefully they all heal up soon and start killin!

I agree. Basketball is a team sport and its hard to play as a team when there is always a team mate that is out.

Yeah, so much potential on that team, they should be playing at much higher level. Kobe can't win by himself.

i didnt realise dwight was coming back so soon. he played well especially considering hes still not 100%

Lakers need to find a way to trade Gasol for something decent.  Earl Clark is playing really well. Hopefully Gasol is out a few more games so they can figure out what they have in Clark and try to determine if he is just playing over his head or not.  If he keeps playing this way Gasol will need to come off the bench.

2 in a row for the Lakers....and they are looking a lot better...yes not against great teams but.

I read that Dwight and Kobe played well. Kobe and Metta put up good fantasy stats for me, I didn't get a chance to watch the game though

   lebron - youngest player ever to hit 20,000 points. nice work and delivering a thrashing to the warriors at the same time, granted it was without curry but a every win is a good win lately.    

Mavs win streak at 4! Next is OKC which they lost in OT last time around. With a healthier Dirk this time, there's a good chance the win streak will continue!

Originally posted by rurchan yea, I'm hoping Nash will make it easier for Kobe, cuz Kobe is attempting some really stupid shots, his fg percentage shows it too

^I feel like he's concerned about his fantasy team, not kobe's actual surprisingly great year.

On another note, with curry out again, it's pretty evident how different the warriors are without him. But I mean, this was the concern at the beginning of the season. If Curry and Bogut can get and STAY healthy. I honestly believe the way we were playing, that even without Bogut, we are easily playoff team. If Bogut can get healthy, stay healthy, and play the basketball we know he's capable of, I'm making the argument that we will be an elite team. Maybe its just wishful thinking, but that's what it looks like to me.

Blazers just keep losing and losing. The games are close but not rolling there way. Losing by 22 point to the Bucks by the 3rd quarter.. COME ON!

durant is simply killing it, dude is a beast

at least theyre doing better than the timberwolves, cant believe how unlucky that team is with injuries.

Originally posted by mj2delmenico In their last 3 losses Kobe has shot 26-80 (33%). Maybe a drop back to normalness from his stunning season so far

Yeah, that's a little crazy for Kobe. Don't know what's gonna happen to my Lakers.
