This road trip....what did you expect before it started?

LakerEric

I expected 2-5 hoping desperately for 3-3

5-1!!!

This kind of trip can completely turn a team around!!!

Where are the Phil haters???? I hope you stay in your prospective caves!!!

1-5.

Really been suprised by their execution and Kobe's brought his FG% back to where I like seeing it.

I honestly thought we will only win against the Bucks, Raps, and Bulls. I never would've have expected us going into Dallas and have Kobe add to his legendary clutch status. And to have someone beat up on a team like the Grizz??? DAYAM!!!

Now if only we had a day's rest in between the Bulls-Minnie game, I honestly think we could've have pulled a win out of there. Stupid scheduling!!! Bah, I think that's asking for too much (though I still wish someone gave Wally another drop kick to the jaw to wipe that smug look off his face).

5-1!!! take that you haters!

Had us going 4-2 and losing to Minny and Memphis... But I'm much happier being off by a game and with a 5-1 freakin' road-trip than I would be to brag about calling it

4-2, losing to Dallas, and Memphis. Way to shut me up P&G!

Ok, I'll man-up. I said 2-4. I'm glad I was wrong.

I realistically believed 1-5 with each game very close. Consider that we were/are injury riddled and started out with a poor showing on the home stand. I hoped that we might luck out with 3-3. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that we would destroy some of these teams and be competitive to the end on most of these games.

On my predictions, however I picked 2 games correctly - Toronto and Minny.

i thought 3-3, im elated and cant believe theyre back in it, it makes you think about all the games they gave up(philly, NJ,Minn at home,Chi at home) its great!!

2-4, but I'm happy to be wrong. Couldn't be prouder of the guys for coming together.

Props to Phil for his coaching/teaching.

1 and 5. Shocked by this road trip. Now expectations has been raised knowing how well this team can play.

Man.... Speaking of predictions...

I remember this one guy coming in on a "Predict the West Playoff Teams" kinda thread, and going on and on about how "We'd ALLLLLLLL see how good the Jazz are."

He swore he was a Laker fan and just knew better than us that the Jazz were gonna be the #2 seed to the Spurs.

Dang I wish I could remember who that was lol. Cuz I told him they had a chance at a 7th or 8th seed (barring injuries I think they'd be in the mix with Booz and Kirilenko healthy)...

People bein' wrong on a prediction is one thing, but when they're all self-righteous and yabbering on and on about how wrong everyone is to doubt them... ya always wanna rub it in their face a bit

I predicted 1-5, and the 1 being barely a win in Toronto. Boy, was I wrong.
