Nick Young scored all 17 of his points in the first half and Chris Kaman finished with a double-double.quote from Lakers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr T Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Lakers 4-4 preseason. It was nice that we walked away with some wins more importantly though is we had time to play together to get a feel for how my Lakers will look this season. We have our first real game Tuesday vs the Clips. We lost all four games to them last season. Kobe will not play the opening game but I'm ready for this season to roll out. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hello all. This 13-14 season saw the return of Kobe Bryant to the floor following his ruptured achilles tendon that put him out for 8 months of surgery and rehab. He signed another astronomical deal with my boys who were playing pretty well. They payed him WAY too much imo. We have Nash out, Farmar out, a bunch of new guys, Pau not happy and there is talk of trading him, and Kobe has played 3 games so far this season and we lost each game. Kobe has had a fantastic career see here Kobe Bryant Career Stats, Statistics | HostNumber.com but my question, is he hurting or helping the team being back on the floor right now? Last night against the Thunder he had 4 points. 4 points for the Mamba? We have a LONG way to go for anything close to an NBA challenger and I'm highly doubting, at this point, getting out of the west as a challenger. I will be faithful to my team. They are my team and I wish us well but paying Kobe that much money when he should be coming off the bench with much fewer minutes and getting back in shape before he gets back pout there to be successful as he has in the past and not getting more injuries is yet to be seen. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 As of 1/20/14 we are 11.5 games back. We won our last two games which were road games and still have many to go on this long road trip. We take on the Bulls next, GO LAKERS!

Dr T Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Exactly Pale. We have our work cut out for us. I can't believe the Pacers and how well they are playing. Then all the West teams are great as usual. We were demolished by the Clippers last week for the biggest lost we've ever had. My mom is a Clippers fan-she LOVED that game.
