This game seems to be popular enough in other team forums, how 'bout we try it here? </p> I'll start by asking a true/false question. Next person answers and asks another. And so on.</p> True or False: Kobe will be a Laker at the end of the season.</p> </p>
False. No chance the Lakers trade Kobe Bryant unless they get an unbelievable deal for him. The Lakers cannot afford to upset season ticket holders, sponsers, and their fans by dealing away their best player for the second time in less than 5 years.</p> TRUE of FALSE - The Lakers make a significant improvement on the defensive end this season?</p>
False, the offseason is pretty much over. We haven't done a thing to improve defensively, we actually may have gotten worse by signing Derek Fisher. The Lakers also never make trades during midseason, and that's not going to change.</p> True of False, Lamar Odom will put up the type of numbers he did before his injury last season against the Rockets.</p>
True, but it may take a few weeks into the season before we see it.</p> T/F: PJax coaches another NBA Championship team.</p> </p>
False, The Lakers don't have the pieces right now to win a championship.</p> T/F, Kobe averages 30+ PPG.</p>
True, I see no reason why not, he played terrific basketball last season and is only going to get better.</p> </p> True/False: Lakers make the playoffs.</p>
True, I think if the Lakers stay healthy and show some type of defensive improvement, they should be able to get in.</p> T/F, Lakers make it past the 1st round of the playoffs.</p>
False - Kobe has to be absolutely lights-out unconcsious in 4 of 7 games and he's still going to need help from his teammates.</p> T/F: Kobe will win another championship before he retires.</p> </p>
True- I believe that Kobe will win another championship.</p> T/F: PJax signs an extension during the season.</p>
False, he's clearly not happy with the Lakers organization, I think this might be his last year.</p> </p> True/False: Odom makes the all-star game.</p>
False - i'm going to say false but it probably depends on how good he's playing and how much he's helping the lakers (carrying the team where kobe might struggle), also with KG in the east now, who knows maybe the coaches will vote him in. </p> true/false: lakers will trade radmanovic before the trading deadline</p>
False the Lakers are not making no more trades Mitch has clearly shown he can't make a trade without getting rip off.</p> T/F Kobe wins MVP</p>
False they aren't going to vote for Kobe.</p> T/F Mitch gets fired this or next season</p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p> </p>
False - He's been able to last this long, and with Jim Buss taking more control of the operations from daddy, Mitch will have a bigger role being the human shield for all criticism directed at management.</p> T or F - The Lakers finish with a winning record on the road this season?</p>
False, they won't it's a pretty hard task to have a winning record on the road and only elite teams do such a thing.</p> </p> True/False: Javaris Crittenton starts by the end of the season.</p>
False. It seems to me that Crittenton is a project and while he may pick up a few starts here and there due to injuries or whatever, I can't see him securing the starting job at anytime during this season unless the Lakers don't meet expectations and turn this into a rebuilding year.</p> </p> True or False: The Lakers acquire another All-Star before the trading deadline.</p>
False the Lakers are not making no more trades Mitch has clearly shown he can't make a trade or even think of one</p> T/F</p> Lakers retire Shaqs #34</p>
