The energy of the Lakers are gone.

I'm bored when I watch them play now.

I don't really feel bad for the lose this time. Credits for the Sixers defense and its just those games...

All what matter is the playoffs.

I'm just worried that we might not even reach the finals if we keep playing like this.

O well. Let's suck it in and move on

If one game can't make a season (e.g. win @ Boston), one loss doesn't break a season (e.g. loss tonight vs. Sixers).

Despite the claims that this team is the stupid, garbage, or the other rampant hyperbole, they'll bounce back.


Agreed...but it's just the type of loss. Hopefully it'll refocus t hem.

This was lost because the Lakers do not have the personnel, coaching, mentality and internal fortitude to close it out. Yes, they are soft except for Kobe. And when he doesn't deliver, we will always be doomed to failure.

Memorize this --


The Lakers only play 40+ minutes of defense against the elite teams -- against all other teams they believe they can outscore them by playing 10 minutes of spotty defense and rely on their offense to get the win.

I also didn't feel bad about the loss. I didn't laugh either though.

I'm more worried about how the 2nd unit played.

P.S. another 7!. 7 game home winning streak broken. Why can't we get pass that mysterious number 7

Famar was hardly the problem tonite ---

1) 18 TOs (w/ 5 TOs by Kobe)
2) Not deferring to Pau tonite
3) Lazy defense

A general comment, but the next time there's a loss and the majority of fans say, "I can accept this loss", will be the first.

There is no type of loss that is acceptable for most people. It's ok, Lakers will bounce back. After a few wins, maybe even a couple blowout wins, this loss will be minimized to it's rightful level. One regular season loss out of 14.

Not to say that it's meaningless, there are some bad habits the team has developed, but nothing that wasn't known before this game.

The 2nd unit hasn't been the same since Bynum went down and Vlad got traded. I mean consider this....

In the first half of the season our starting 5 was Fisher, Kobe, Vlad, Gasol, Bynum. Odom and Ariza on the bench. Vlad got traded and Bynum went down. So obviously we aren't as strong, but I agree, 6-4 is just pathetic considering the opposition

acer has some weird hate on Farmar. As pathetic as his play was, he wasn't the only one stinking it up. In the same amount of minutes, Powell, Luke and Sasha were just as big of a non-contributing zero as Farmar.

Seriously, I'm not pissed at all about the loss. Not happy with Kobe's foul trouble keeping him on the bench and cold coming into the 4th, or the no call on that shove on Pau under the rim in the last minute, but aside from that, we got plenty of calls. This one is on the Lakers, their lackadaisical attitude, and Phil's coaching.

I am pissed that the Cavs are now ahead of us for HCA though.

Its 1 game. KG will be back by finals rested and the Celts stomp The Queen and Cavs in the east. No one in the west can touch us and its the re-match iv been waiting for with home court.

The team can only say it was a "Wake-Up" call so many times. At some point it becomes they lack the championship mentality and are weak in da head.

I didn't say anything about HCA. I agree with you though. I believe Celts will beat the Cavs.

I meant leads being blown away and the 2nd unit that I was worried about.

Exact opposite with me. I'm furious. This, the Indiana game, the Heat game, and the Magic road game just made me collapse in unmitigated pain and sorrow. I feel like eating somebody.
