where are lakers fans now??
Even the Clippers have a better record than you..
Kobe ain't even Scottie Pippen...so don't confuse him with MJ.
Honestly...the rise of Dwayne Wade should prove it...almost everyone can look good next to Shaq.
FYI, Lakers and Clippers have same record as of today. They didn't do too bad this season, considering all the new players they got, plus they still don't have a decent center (Divac is too old and was injured most of the season), and you have to give credit to the Clippers. They're doing better than last year.
Kobe tried to carry the team all by himself to the playoffs, but that's impossible.
The team who was really disappointing this season was the Timberwolves. With all those stars, they managed only the 9th spot in the west.
Interesting fact: Last season's Western Conference finalists (Lakers and Minnesota) are not gonna make it to the playoffs this year.
And for all you Wade lovers... without Shaq, the Heat and Wade are nothing. As you can see, they've now lost 2 in a row without him.
TODAY, WADE managed 1/6 shooting with 5points and fouled out early in the game. He still has a lot to learn, so I say James is way better than Wade in terms of consistency. After all, James made it to the a winning All-Star team while Wade only managed the Sophomores to a victory.
PHOENIX SUNS are going to take the championship home this year. NASH FOR MVP.
Enjoy the rest of the season, as it unfolds.
