Currently the Lakers SOS is tied for 6th toughest at .507.
(it has been the third easiest over the last 10...damn that Miami).
Here it says 15th.

I just found a 3rd site that says the Lakers at 12???? Maybe none of them know what the heck they are talking about. lol.
God, how I love bating Lakers fans! I'm practically a master at it.
Some might say I'm a master bater...
Seriously, when the Lakers start developing something more than theoretical dominance over playoff powers in the East and West alike, then I might sit up and pay attention. Right now we just see the Lakers nation patting itself on the back as the Lakers do what every playoff team can do, which is destroy lottery teams that are trying to tank.
I'm going to plant that seed of doubt in your minds. It is medically impossible for Bynum to ever be 100% ever again. I'll explain:
Once you tear the ligaments in your knee, ankle, arm, or other extremity, the body heals only up to a certain point. While a great deal of the original functionality and strength of the ligament can be restored through rest and special exercises, the body part in question is never the same as it was before the injury. It will always be susceptible to future, easy reinjury. And the body part stays like that for the rest of your life. This is why you see NBA players, and indeed, athletes in any sport, wear protective bandages, braces, and wraps on their bodies. It is for the added support, but it's also precautionary, because the body part (in this case Bynum's knee) can give out at any moment. And again, Andrew Bynum will have a weak knee now, for the rest of his life. Have a nice weekend!

Gee, I couldn't see this coming.
Fisher is slumping, and was the primary cause of the loss tonight, not his shooting but he didn't guard Blake at all. It's called a bad game by our guards. Where were you the last couple of games when Farmar and Sasha were scoring around 40 combined?
But if we go off one games, I guess Steve Nash is a turnover machine so the Suns have a PG problem.
BTW, the Lakers are historically bad in the Rose Garden...I mean rarely win there bad. And even with that ATROCIOUS shooting, they lost by 8 on the road in the second game of a b2b. You should think thrice before posting.
If Nash is doing 2 turnover,he's covering with 20 assists
And I agree,of course you can not show your point with a single game,shooters can go cold etc,but despite powerful "Gasol-Kobe-Odom" trio,this team will suffer because of the guards in play-offs when facing teams like Mavs,Spurs and yes even Suns
No I wasn't, but nice try though. You should be more worried about the Suns record against Western Conference teams more than anything. Or your inability to read and decipher information, like Bynum being out an addition 8 weeks, which isn't true. Or Bynum's injury is career threatening, and that he tore a ligament in his knee, which also is not true.
