The East has 9 teams that are 4 games or more UNDER .500.

The West only has 2 teams that are 4 games or more UNDER .500.

So much for the revival of the Eastern Conference.

How do you feel about the cavs this season? I kno their record isnt bad but their lookin like pretenders to me.

Cant wait for Christmas. I hope Drew shows Shaq how much he improved from their last christmas matchup against each other.

@kurt… I’d take 4-1 for any 5 game streach for the rest of the season that would put us at right around 67 wins which would almost guarantee HCA throughout.

New thread up: Jordan Farmar is earning the backup PG spot.

4-1 on a road trip where three of the five games are the second night of a back-to-back? I’ll take that every time.

Mike (38) or anyone else,

What’s the word on Pau’s workout regimen? I remember that last year, there was a lot of attention given to Pau working out, given the result of the 2008 Finals. I know last year he worked out due to a desire not to get pushed around as much, but what about this year? I hear he’s as hungry as last year (if not more), but is he working for it? Still lifting weights? (I know he’s a beast right now, but I want to see how he does against the big dogs, like Denver, Boston, etc.)

If you didn’t know how lopsided the confrences are then you will have no doubts after you take a look at the current standings. After checking it out try to imagine if the lakers swapped spots with the celts or the cavs (petty nice, huh). Yes, I did notice that the south east has a descent amount of talent but it is no where near the competitive divisions of the west.

The Lakers need better and smarter play from the bench when the game is out of reach in the 4th Q so the starters do not have to come back in the game.

Quote from PJ after the game. Though he did not mention the bench, it was directed towards them (Taco Unit members)

“Even with the lead we had built, we still had to use our starters down the stretch to finish off the game. We’ve got to be better than this going forward.”

Bench a combined 6-27 tonight. That’s 22%.

If the bench players were as good as our starters they would be… wait for it… starters.

22-4 but according to a substantial amount of posters here the Lakers are horrible. Terrible PG, no Center worth anything, ball-hogging superstar, pure scrubs off of the bench, and a coach that has no grasp of the basic stuff like timeouts and player rotations…

*shakes head*

Good night all, and go Lakers.

the entire bench stunk it up tonight – 6 for 27 (and that’s with LO’s 3 for 5).
