Lakers (and their fans) have gone away

Think it's bad now...



Wait until that marketing plan around Andrew Bynum is implemented...

Thats because they became Clipper fans!

The front line came up big but it's because of the offensive rebounds they got and put back. I just don't understand why they don't take advantage of their big front line.

Lakers - and their fans - have gone away" .Lakers - only Dogue and Dj have gone away <- Fixed!

LOL!

Lol, and it begins, the bandwagon is finally about to crash, lucky for them the next team they will all jump to is in the same buliding.

how much of the Lakers crappiness can be attributed to the new coach? If Phil had stayed, would the Lakeshow be this mediocre?

I doubt the laker fans have gone away, more realistically no one wants to pay those ridiculous prices to see them play a bad team. Come playoff time, the lakers will sell out like always. And yes, im sure many of the bandwagon fans went to the clippers (and good for them for finally havin fans) but rest assured laker nation hasn't gone anywhere.

ps - was this the best FN could offer today? Let me offer a hand... What about the foxsports article interviewing Shaq where he says it would be a travesty if Howard left Orl (pot calling the kettle black anyone?)

Because it's all about Kobe this year... again.

Kobe will be both the hero and the goat by the time this season is done. On one hand it looks like he's doing it all... on the other, it's pretty clear that he's taking touches and time away from the rest of the team.

What I find funny is how people seem to think the Lakers are still a contender and Boston is all washed up... yet they pretty much have the same record this far into the season.

Yes because it isn't the coaching, rather some of the talent. Artest is worthless out there (even as a defender at this point) and the ghost of fisher can't guard anyone. At this point Arenas would be an upgrade for fisher and barnes should be getting all of Artest's minutes. If you remember last year, it was pretty clear that some of the guys like artest had basically tuned PJ out.

I would have gone with how Jason Whitlock is trying to cover his tracks from his stereotypical Tweet the other day about JLin. He has another article out today.
