Thread: Lakers season thread

It's funny though how Kupchak was the antichrist all of a few months ago.

Now Bynum has panned out and not trading him for Kidd was brilliant.
Now Farmar has turned into a very serviceable PG and a quality backup so far.
Fisher looks great.
The Ariza trade was great both in adding a quality player and dumping garbage in Cook.

For all the flak he's gotten, guy (and Jim Buss, who insisted on Bynum) deserves some credit here.

When the Lakers make it to the Playoffs, then we can start patting them on their backs. Let's not forget about last year's collapse.

I said some credit, not that we should erect statues in their honor.

I like the roster. Good depth and balance. But why do we still have Mihm?

Throwbacks are cool and all but I'm not down with the short shorts.

Vujacic looks WAY too comfortable in the short shorts.

Maybe they should have waited for a night where they aren't playing the best team in the league to break those out.

Kobe 3-16 fg so far. Ouch.

Ugly. Absolutely hideous.
