Don't look now, but the Lakers are sinking!!

Kobe better start hitting some more stars in the back...

They aren't giving the effort....but maybe you

shouldn't talk so soon...it's only 27 games into

the season.

[Diesel]

You're right... They are 13 games out and 6 games out of the playoffs. They could easily make that up with 2/3 of the season to play....

BUT.

They suck?

Maybe they will start tonight vs. Iverson and the 76ers?? Let's watch and see?

I think the turnaround could possibly come at the

game againest the Kings on Christmas....

[Traceman]

scrambling if the Kings win that game. If the Kings win, it could start one of the biggest collapses in NBA history. I don't see it happening but you never know!

i still have them going to the playoffs...

imo, i dont think it matters what seed they get... as long as they get focused in the playoffs...

how far will they go in the playoffs, that i have NO CLUE?

if i had to make a bet, i'd say Western Conference Finals...

Hawks have a better record than the Lakers. At the

start of the season, all Hawks fans would have been

really excited to know that we were ahead, record wise,

of Shaq and his merry men at Christmas.

But, here we are, playing terrible, as usual, and still we

have a better record than the Lakers.

If we, as Hawk fans, feel as bad as we obviously do

about our record, just imagine being a Lakers fan.

Yet, as far as the Lakers are concerned, they have the

time and talent to turn things around and easily make

the playoffs. Once in, they are very capable of doing

what they have done before, win it all.

I'm not crying for them. In fact, if they don't win

another game all year it suits me fine. But the sad truth

is, they can turn it around and win and the Hawks

apparently can't. Neither team is really putting forth

the effort necessary to achieve the goal of winning and

going into the playoffs. Right now, they both suck.

personally... i want them to make the playoffs and LOSE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!

victory is more satisfying when u defeated the LAKERS in the playoffs!

losing to SAC-TOWN in conference finals would be nice... if not, going to finals and losing against an EASTERN CONFERENCE team... hehe
