If you really want to know who's best in LA .... it's Sun Yue, the second-coming of Yao Ming!! :bow:

Either that, or the great Didier Ilunga Mbenga.

Lakers getting hammered by a team with a better defense, the Pistons, 89-71, in the fourth. :sweat:

And end up losing 106-95. Meanwhile Denver goes into Boston and beats the Celtics :woot: Nuggets 4-1 since trading A.I. Maybe this is the proverbial "trade that helped both teams" :crazy: [/list:u]

And the Pistons are 3-2 with A.I.... But why did one of the wins have to be against the Lakers? :grumble:

well, glad to hear Celtics lose another game..
but sucks for the Lakers and lose their first, i would consider it a very OFF night, and at home too. :banghead:

Lakers lead the Bulls, 73-58, early in the 3rd.

Hmm, ever since Andrew Bynum got that fat contact, he hasn't scored in double figures... :shakehead:

Lakers forget to play defense and play sloppy ball, so they lose to the Pacers, 118-117, in the final seconds of the game. :shakehead:

It was on at the gym and a lot of people cheered when the Lakers lost. I wasn't watching but I thought the Lakers had won when I heard all that. I didn't know so many locals didn't like the Lakers.

Probably Clippers fans. :beaten:

Lakers back on the winning track, 114-102, over the Sixers, though their D is still suspect. :sweat:

Who would want to admit to being one. It'll be interesting to see which happens first; The Lakers win 20, or the Clips lose 20. [/list:u]

I think Billy Crystal and Penny Marshall are. :)

The Lakers nearly blow another lead, this one being 20 points, but escape with a 106-104 win over the Wizards. :shakehead:

The unpredictable Lakers from last season are starting to show themselves again. :sweat: :grumble:
