    I'd be surprised if OKC won more than two in a row this season.

    The Lakers have had three back to backs actually...10/28-10/29, 11/11-11/12 and 11/20-11/21...and then tonight will be their 4th.

    And the only reason they have the 2nd best record is because they've played fewer games, therefore fewer chances to chalk up wins. Though you could argue as well, that it's few chances to put a loss in the column too.

    9-73 (Philly) is the record in 72-73.

    That's ridiculous. If they beat the lowly Pacers last night, they'd have the best record in the league. But they didn't. So they're second. And falling.

    The Raptors, are falling, slowly. The Lakers...lost. The Celtics have also, lost. I mean, it's almost impossible to win every game. So lets say the Blazer where in the Lakers position. And they lost to Indy, and I came in here and said they are falling. Do you know what would happen? I'd getting raped in the ass because you would all challenge my knowledge of basketball and call me a troll. So please, the Lakers are better than the Blazers still and one lose by a tip in doesn't mean the team is falling. You're falling...right off your chair...and in to stupidity.

    It's a gradual deflation. They will win games here and there but the direction they're going is down.

    Re: OT: Lakers' downfall.

    The Lakers are probably the best team in the NBA, though I hate them. I appreciate what Kingspeed is trying to do, but let not lose track of reality. This season is theirs- in a couple seasons it's ours.

    Not to worry- just a question of time. Kobe will slow down, while Roy is ascendant. Oden will be better than Bynum, though both have all star games in their future. and the rest of the team is already better than the rest of the Lakers.

    And, just maybe, we sign Kobe in the offseason- kicking the Lakers to the lottery!
