Lakers ARE making the playoffs, dont even worry bout that. This is still early in the season. What counts is getting to the play-offs, and who is winning throughout the play-offs. The Lakers got into the trend of not really trippin early in the season, but then when the shit starts to have some pressure in it, they whoop on ALL TEAMS. Kings exact opposite, good early in the season, then when they need to be good, they bitch up.
Pistons fucked my Lakers up last season, but that was a good thing too many egos were on the laker squad. Now that punk ass Shaq is gone, there wont be all that drama.
I got a bet on Lakers vs. Kings later this month. My wife is gonna have to pay up!! She roll with them punk ass kings
