That sums up the Lakers evening so far.

Still, as you said, they have time in this game. I can't see them playing any worse then they have the last five game minutes or so.

Ron

Pau shoots an 11-foot shot 10½ feet.

Ron

MWP with two clutch shots, but then the stupid foul on Hawes. Must have lost his cool.

MojoPin

Lakers can't win a game unless they shoot 45%...

MojoPin

Oh, and Antawn Jamison would've been nice tonight...

Ron

I can't believe this.

I mean...I should believe it, because I don't believe in this team this year, but I have a hard time believing we can lose to this Sixers team. They have talent but they have not shown an ability to play together consistently at all playing down the stretch of games, and we just cannot stop them. The defense is lethargic, non-caring, say what you will.

We are going to lose again at home to a team we have no business losing to.

Basel

What a frustrating loss. We got no stops all game long. Dwight sucked. Kobe wasn't as good as he's been overall despite the 36 points. Pau sucked. Why the **** aren't we playing Jamison when we're in a funk like that shooting? At least give him a chance, D'Antoni.

I only saw the first half. I was out until 4 am NWE and was exhausted. I'm not even going to bother to watch the second half recording.

Five stages of grief:

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

I'm at stage number 5 already.

(I know the stages aren't necessarily in that order...there is wide-spread contention if this model is even correct for actual grief awareness and counseling...but its a nice, tight, mathematical model that I am using for metaphorical purposes here.)

Anybody see the sequence when Pau got rejected at the rim by Hawes on a dunk attempt? Immediately after on the dead ball, Pau tried to hammer it home and got hung by the rim. Smh

The only time to panic is if they are at risk of missing the playoffs. And I doubt anyone but Ron thinks that will happen.

At least I haven't heard one other analyst, columnist or fan say it.

Guess your memory is faulty after all. I retracted that statement soon thereafter and said they will probably make the playoffs because it isn't going to take 50 games to make the playoffs in the West this year. I do stand by my prediction that they go 46-36 this season. And that may well be enough to get in.

But what's the point? You really think THIS team is going to get past a 1-, 2-, or 3-seed in the first round? I doubt it.
