I'm assuming that the Lakers will lose to the Knicks tonight. They have no answer for ZBo. Then, soon, the Lakers go on 9 game road trip which will probably take them out of the playoff race altogether. That means more breathing for the Blazers in terms of grabbing a playoff spot.

Go Blazers

I wouldn't assume any Knicks win.. although they have played better lately.

But the Lakers better be careful without Bynum for awhile, and a lot of road games coming up. It wasn't too long ago that they were No. 1 in the West.

Just curious, but what exactly is the Knicks' answer for Kobe?

The Lakers will beat the Knicks easily. I think they'll be fighting for the last couple of playoff spots at the end of the year as well.

Nothing (basketball related) brings more joy to my heart than watching the Lakers struggle.

And nothing pisses me off more than the Lakers' recaps - while they are struggling - getting more air-time than the Blazers (who aren't).

Die, Lakers. Die!

lol...Zach, why would you assume the lakers would lose to the Knicks? Minus Bynum and Ariza and you honestly think the Lakers are worst the the Knicks?!? Secondly, as a Blazers fan dont be talking about road trips. Thirdly, have you seen the teams the Lakers are playing on that trip..3 good teams out of nine. "Take them out of the playoff race"...in January, with a team that was leading the west before injuries, please. You are setting yourself up for disappointment my friend.

Mardy Collins....i had to Google him just to see if that was an actual NBA player, good luck on Kobe dude

Yes it's going to be nice seeing the lakers losing again,
Kobe crying and all of their hopes resting on Kwame Brown
playing at a high level until Bynum comes back...

A Lakers Fan as the voice of reason? Is this the sign for the apocalypse?


Seriously, vegas says LAL 9 point favorites. I certainly agree.

At least you agree...BTW my voice of reason has been saying for a while that POR won't make the playoffs...thats realistic too

Laker Freak

It's good to know that loosing to Dallas, Phoenix, Cleavland and San Antonio when you don't have your 2nd best player is a free fall..

stupid thread...

Blazers don't have Oden, but we don't make excuses.
