Hahahaha... look at the Lakers now. They started the season talking so much shit, saying they were gonna win 70 games... hell, saying they were going to beat the Bull's record of seventy-two wins.
Now, look at 'em. Look at 'em. They're pathetic. What? They make me sick. What? LOL...
Nah, 29-12 is hardly pathetic in anyone's estimation. But they're still a full three games behind the Kings. And with one more loss, they'll be mathematically incapable of having a 70-win season.
Serves 'em right, the smug bastards.

It's funny... you would think, in theory, that the Shaq/Kobe combo would be at least as good as MJ/Pippen/Rodman.
Difference is that the Bulls had role players that were constantly stepping up. And that when one of their stars was injured, it didn't mean the rest of the team started losing to all the cellar-dwellers.
An interesting couple of notes about the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who finished a league-best-ever 72-10:
--The only team to beat the Bulls twice in that season was the Indiana Pacers.
--The most surprising loss the Bulls suffered that year was a loss to the expansion Toronto Raptors.

You're talking about regular season right? Because i'm pretty sure the Hornets beat them once in the regular season and once in the playoffs that year? I could be wrong though.
And who could forget Van Gundy's first win came when the Knicks blew out the Bulls one Saturday on NBC. God I hated that team. Oh yeah, the Lakers are still winning the title.
Laugh all you want at the 70 wins prediction, I dont care what sorry teams got victories over them either. Because in the end, none of these teams can beat THE LAKERS in best of 5 or 7 series.
i still would like to see kings vs lakers in best of 5.... who knows... depends how well the lakers play the rest of the year... but we all know how they play in the playoffs....
are you enjoying the dance of life?.... no?... change the music then.....
Oof! How about a SECOND epic Lakers collapse in one series? Blowing a 13-point lead with 8 minutes left is just a complete stomach punch. And who got the Thunder rally started in the 4th quarter? Yup...Derek Fisher. How's that trade working out?
