Surprising!!

Darn that selfish Kobe and his 10 assists!

Oh, not the squad...

VF21 - I'll keep it to a minimum...

Talk about mixed feelings? I missed one of my fantasy drafts this year and the computer gave me Kobe.

You should take advantage of the pre-draft rankings and utilize the filter system, like I do.

FSM will never play on any of my fantasy teams, whether I'm there for the draft or not. Nor will Bam-Boozer, nor Shat, nor anyone in a Lakers jersey.

Lamar_Odom - Nah, it's not a crime. You, Gargamel and hoopsfan have almost always been exemplary posters around here.

Iirc, we've all been banned before too. Happens to the best of us.

PS: Ostertag WAS a vegetable. A big fat sour turnip.

Good thing he decided to pass and give Vince a sourpuss on the defensive end. His shooting was vominous.

Which explains my "almost always exemplary" comment. In fact, even when you were banned it was exemplary in nature.

 

[Lamar_Odom]

I've never been banned. That was my evil twin.

You know what else is surprising.

The Kings are all of 0.5 games behind the Lakers, and while the Laker's "great" start is a pleasant surprise, the Kings almost identical start is basically "ho-hum"


I didn't think expectations were/are particularly different for the two teams this season... why the different reactions to their starts?

 

[hoopsfan]

We're past the "great start"...which was 3-0 for the Lakers and 1-2 for the Kings. I think that was the "start" that was talked about. At least that's how I saw it...it's a month into the season now.

 

[Lamar_Odom]

If somebody would have told me that after 14 games, the Lakers will be leading the Pacific followed closely by the Kings, I would tell that person, pass that good stuff around!

Tough to draw any conclusions yet about either the Kings or the Lakers IMO. Both have played home-heavy schedules and have looked like different teams on the road.

However, not like anyone else in the Pacific is all that impressive....

Sure you can. Wins are wins. You can expect .500 at best on the road for each team. If each team is playing nicely at home, don't expect that to deviate too much for the rest of the season barring injury.

Both teams should make the playoffs, imo. They have more collective exp than GSW or NO and their respective stars are grizzled vets to their neophytes. Both teams have winning cultures. GSW and NO don't. That accounts for something in my book.

Lakers have had the softest beginining schedule in the history of the NBA.

OK, enough is enough, 3 pages???? Do we really need a lakers thread. I think not.
