Just like some of us have been saying (re: young team)

Yeah... they may suck at times. However, these guys play just like you would expect a young team to play. Some nights they stink up the joint... and then others... they take it to the defending ECF champs and what many call, the best starting 5 in basketball.

But of course... I suspect we'll get our fair share of people pissing and moaning, finding fault with the win and/or dismissing/discrediting it.

Oh... and FIRE MITCH KUPCHAK! :roll:

you may not get any Kwame Brown and Laron Profit was a bad trade for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins tonight either Kwame played a great game and played very good D.

Lay off the dope JD you know the Lakers aren't as good as as the Warriors, Nuggets, Kings or Rockets.

Just like everyone said in October and November.

wow, what a game!, i guess venturalakersfan was right, when the the team hustles on D they're very good. hope they keep this up against the bad teams, but even if they don't, now i know they're young AND talented - and can play well when they want, i'll handle the future losses better.

maybe i was too quick to wright off mitch - (can't believe i'm saying that but - there you go :roll:

The Lakers are a young team. Young teams tend to be marked by inconsistency.

You guys think we are moaning and whinning too much, check what the fans of the #1 team in nba with arguably the best starting 5 have to say

What can I moan about?? I think this is as good as this team can play!! Keep this heart and energy the rest of the season, we can do some damage in the bottom seeds of the playoffs! But it wont happen

But I'm still doing cartwheels!!!!!!!!

I think tonight will be a turning point for the team. We just beat the best team in basketball, so these guys know they can play with anyone. We're just a pg and bench player away from being elite. If we get Jim Jackson, watch out!

Incredible win. I still say though that some people will read too much into it. We know we look great some days and bad the next. We did look great today though.

This was a great win. It's a game that will help the team build some confidence.

JD - I missed your response on my question:

What do you think about us drafting a player like Cedric Bozeman?

Start out in the pissing, and moaning thread and then not even have to worry about it...

I've said all along that our biggest consistency is our inconsistency. That is a characteristic of a young team, which we are.
