I'm looking for a bright side here...

Mbenga. 16+ minutes; only 2 fouls. Only 3 rebounds, but 4 assists, 2 steals, another block, 3-4 shooting, 8 points. No turnovers. +8 while on the floor.

Ammo 2-2.

Shannon Brown with another shockwave dunk plus a 3 pointer.

Ummm.... Orlando lost.

Ok... tonight still sucked ass.

Just a horrible game. I hope Rudy is alright I heard it might not be serious but not sure.

Lakers wise after this horrible game the Lakers still have the best record in the NBA to look on a bright side. Same losses as the Cavs and 1 more with with the tie breaker. Obviously that can change probably without Lamar against the Spurs, but as of right now whether it was a blow out or not it still only counts as one loss Lakers need to man up though as that cant happen again.

Lakers only had 2 games all week and had plenty of time to prepare for this game. They should have "manned" up much much earlier. It's too bad they decided to goof off and screw around instead of actually working on defense in practice because Philsy decided that they needed days off after all that hard week of home games.

Last year Odom gave Roy a cheap shot and injured him. This year Ariza gave Rudy a cheap shot and injured him.

On April 10 wouldn't it be justice if Kobe got injured and was out for the season?

Maybe next year no more Blazers would be cheap-shot injured

anyone else watch sportscenter and hear the idiot commentator say that a series between the blazers and lakers would not be that competitive in favor of the blazers, on the basis that they've won 7 straight in portland? while completely discounting the fact that we've won 8 of the last 9 in LA?

^^The Blazers aren't winning jack without HCA, which the Lakers will incidentally have barring a huge slump.

There are games where I can say it was just not the Lakers night, like the Denver game, but this game I can't say that about.

It was an unacceptable performance and the team is better then that, I thought the team could cope with Bynum's apsence but I think he might be needed back after some weak performances we've seen recently.

Of course, beating the Rockets and Sp*rs would change that opinion completely
