I wonder what trick Kupchak has up his sleeve for this year's draft picks. One from Duke or Kentucky, we could use a big and maybe somebody from another country could help us out. I know there has also been talk of Kobe's numbers dropping next year but then again I read "I wouldn't be surprised if we had 6 or 7 new guys next season" or something saying a lot more than just our 3 picks (that is not intended to be a direct quote even though I used quotation marks-it was intended as my paraphrase. I don't know what that would look like. I know we need to rebuild but I also know I need to win. I am excited to see what it will look like. LAKERS!

That seems to be on the table from what I've read Pale one... we'll see

Jared Dudley from the Bucks said, “If you saw Jordan when he played with the Wizards, he started toning it down a little bit. He knew he didn’t have it. Kobe is the opposite. He wants to show everyone so much. I remember seeing Kobe, I think it was 70 games in [this past season] and he had out-shot the whole Lakers team by like 100 shots. C’mon now. We love you, Kobe, but c’mon. It’s, like, it’s now time to start giving up. Most guys don’t want to play with Kobe.” “[Dialing it back is] tough for guys and for him, obviously, being one of the greats. Also, the worst thing about it is, he can. Remember, Kobe gets in this thing where he doesn’t pass and then he over-passes and he’s trying to get triple-doubles every night. “So we know you have [the ability to defer], it’s just not something he wants to do, and that’s why I think it’ll be a while before the Lakers can get good, because no stars — I mean, [Kevin] Love — I’ll be surprised if Love wanted to go there.” I agree with his quotes. My question now is "what will Kobe do with that?" Will he dismiss it out of defiance, will his ego allow it into his conscience? Will he change his game? Will we be able to rebuild as needed. I do not envy my boy's front office right now.

"And then there were two.: (Or is that "and then there was two"?) Can Labron;s Caves pull it off agaist GSW this year? If they do, LBJ needs to be recognized in my opinion.

What did Houston's win say about game 4 on the series against GSW to you?

Yes it did MG. They r saying Kobe last year with my boys will be next year. He should have been done before but cashed in so I think he should be done. If something happens and the Lakers turn around I wonder if Kobe will want to keep playing or if he will move to China to play or something?

From tip to buzzer there was nothing but GSW powerful dominance. Wow, they wanted to win all the way though. Good for them. 3-0 with one more to go.

LBJ is the man making another start performance 30 pts, 11 assists and 9 boards to return home leading two up.

GSW grab game two...

It has been on Lakers media talking about it too. He did good stuff with Houston I think but don't know much. I need to read up on him. What do u think of his defensive coaching?

Yes they played very well. One down.

Yes, we have pick #2 and two other later in the lineup. I thought we were at risk for losing a high pick. There are a few pretty good players but they both have pros and cons to their game. I hope we come down with a helpful player, they are young and I see promise. GO LAKERS!

When we acquired him in L.A. I was excited. I knew he had surgery so was hoping he would have helped us more than he did. Playing for Houston, when he plays as he should play, he can be an asset. I hope his knee is alright but we can only wait and see. I think he can be a good player. I think GSW are the team to beat (obviously they are playing against them but I meant they are going to be difficult to talk a series from.

Is CLE the #2 seed and the ATL the #1 seed?

Houston had home court and they r the Clippers after all. Too bad for my mom

Yes ATL vs CLE and GSW vs HOU.

LAC in Houston tomorrow. Will it be as MormonGator said or can the Clippers play as they did in the first quarters to take game 7?

LeBron will be moving on. GSW took another one and The Clippers were in the drivers seat and it ought to have been closed out to move on but NO Houston played! What is going through the Clippers player's mind next game? "This is it and we handled the Rockets (until the fourth) when they stopped us!)" and the Rockets mighty think, "They're nothing we've got this!" we'll see how it goes.....

Are the Bulls healthy enough to take the series? Will Pau come back next game? I would like to see the Clippers move on. That would make my mom happy

All but Clippers-Houston locked at two for now. Can LAC get past GSW if it is them in the end?

That was a tight game MG. How bad was Pau's leg issue? ======= Clippers went to play last game. Wow they gave them a stomping

Round two all at 1s.

If you were Doc Rivers would you rest CP3 tomorrow for game 2?

So GSW, WAS, LAC and CHI 1 zip. I thought LAC would struggle more but they walked away with the first

MG, that is difficult to say this year. I was too caught up on how poorly my boys did this year.
