    After two disappointing losses, we need to relax (mainly me--too many cunt's, ****'s shit's, fuckin', etc..)

    1) We're injury rattled. Bynum is coming back soon, Gasol should be back Sunday, Odom was sicker than a dog against Memphis, Kobe's got multiple injuries--a bum ankle, torn ligaments in his shooting hand, broken finger in his shooting hand, gnarley cut under his eye. Ariza is still down, Fisher has a tear in his foot that takes 6-8 weeks to heal..pile these major injuries on top of the regular wear and tear of an NBA season, and you're going to eventually hit a rough patch in your season.

    2) Relief is coming! Gasol will be back by Wednesday of next week, I've got a feeling he'll be back Sunday. Bynum should be back by the end of the season, Ariza should be back for the playoffs. With these players back, Kobe will be able to rest more and take less of the offensive load. Our defense will also drastically improve.

    Any more reason to zen out, fellas? Post them.

    Someone sticky this thread.

    Remove Kobe from all injury lists, the guy is in the zone. How's he doing it? There aren't enough superlatives to describe it.

    You'll probably be an even stronger contender next season?

    hey guys, I'm real sorry for being MIA this season, I didn't fully make the transfer from JBB to here.

    I'm back, and the website is bookmarked and I hope you guys won't mind having me around again =)

    I really miss you dudes, I miss talking REAL basketball, real Laker stuff. I can't STAND the people at LakersGround, some of the worst bipolar fans ever man.

    What's up man!

    Dude, LG is suicidal after a loss...

    Glad to see your boys having a great year! Hopefully he doesn't Walton us and make it just a contract year thing. That 4-14 hurt though.

    Stick around, I love your insight. You're very level-headed, you call it how it is. Respect that about you.

    Yo Mamba, yeah bro I really missed you, shape, Brian, huevon, and the rest of the guys.

    It was SO nice to come here after a loss and just honestly discuss the game without all the BS found on other Lakers forums.

    Yeah, my boy Sasha man, has really came through this year. A little upset at those 14 attempts yesterday, we had to penetrate that zone yet we kept on shooting those 3's.

    Alright man, thanks again for the warm welcome, off to work now, cya.

    Hey it's good to see you back.

    S2 has also grown into its own after they updated their look.

    Yeah the 14 attempts hurt, and I was pissed at him in the heat of the moment, but after calming down and soaking the loss in I realized every shooter has his off nights. He's a gunner, he'll keep shooting, and eventually find his stroke again.

    I'm just happy that this team is near the top still with 90% of our team injured.

    Good to have you back Ill!

    As for the Lakers, I'm just happy to be near the top while our some of our top players are dealing with injuries. Once the playoffs comes and this team is healthy, we'll be a force.

    Hey Brian and Moo! thanks for the warm welcome back, definitely great to see you guys again....I forgot how much of a family we all kind of were, lol.

    I'm so happy I decided to google Shapecity two days ago, LOL.

    And about the Lakers, yeah man, everyone is all down on us, when Pau and Bynum get back, I'd dare ANYONE to beat us with a frontline of LO/Pau/BYNUM and Kobe in the back, it's OVA!
