hate to hurt ur feelings, but payton is unhappy. and bottom line kobe is hurting the team. he is playing selfish ball and malone, payton, and shaq arent happy. phil needs to works some of that magic he has in order for this team to go to the promise land

I disagree..
Payton is ONLY happy when he wins.. it's as simple as that.. GP was never happy, anywhere, when not winning. Ever see GP on the bench, when the Lakers are winning.. Nuff Said. I'm also sure ALL of the Mavs aren't happy losing.

Kobe selfish? How's he selfish? His points are down, his assists are up.. he doesn't shoot the ball in the first quarter, simply to get the team game going. When malone and Shaq are injuried.. He has to become more selfish, cause he's the only guy on the court, other then GP, that can create a shot.

Malone was very happy, until his knee blew up.. I'm sure you wouldn't be happy sittin' on your ass, not playin' ball... wait ya do

Shaq? Extremely happy, it's his team.. He personally made sure that Malone and GP would join the team. Shaq has always wanted to play with a PG like GP. He's always wanted to have a PF that could take away triple and double teams. He argu's and fights with Kobe, but he is happy. I believe Kobe is also happy playing with Shaq.

It's a Laker-Hater style comment, to make, about the Lakers "not being happy" That's just a cop-out.

Wins = Happiness

look dude i am an all around fan of the game. i respect any team no matter what the player or record. but players on la have quoted that kobe has been trying to be the hero on the court and no one is liking it. but i think the la team will take off when malone and shaq come back.

Hmmm, I would love it, if you could post a few direct quotes for me??

i think that if everybody gets back healthy the lakers will easily win the championship, it seems like malone for some reason is the key to winning for the lakers and they need him back badly

[LakersFan187]

Well, in all honesty, it would be great to have just one of our 4 injured starters back!

Fox - 1 week
Kobe - 1-2 weeks
Shaq - 1 week maybe w (big baby!) ;D
Malone 2-3 weeks

Getting these players back, I believe the Lakers can still get home court, it will be interesting.. I haven't even thought of what other team would win, if for some reason a player or two won't get back..

I think that the Lakers at full strength are the best team in the league and they proved it at the beginning of the season when they went 17-3 or whatever. But I just dont believe they will have enough healthy players come playoff time to make a championship run this year. I say the champion comes out of Minnesota or Sacramento this year, but if the Pacers or Pistons get to the championship out of the east this season I definetly think that an east team could win a championship for the first time since Jordan left the Bulls.

I'm curious.. but why is it, that you don't believe the Lakers will be at full streangth by playoff time? Do you know of some injurys that are schedualed to happen? Is Malone never gonna heal, and be a gimp for the rest of his life?? The Lakers, as long as no NEW injurys arise, will be injury free within' a month. Shaq, may be playing with soreness for the rest of his career, but tell me a season he wasn't playing hurt??
