Official 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers Thread | Page 58

They're playing at an insane pace right now. Really, an 8 point loss in Denver or a 7 point loss vs. New Orleans really isn't awful (the Clips game is another story, obviously), but it looks a lot worse when it's 134-126 than it does when it's 98-90.

Phil Jackson is leaning toward accepting a front office job with the New York Knicks, according to a source. Jackson's role would be president of basketball operations, in complete control of all basketball-related matters, according to the source.Jackson could also become head coach next season, though that aspect of the deal is not yet settled.Jackson is expected to make a decision with the next week.

I'm not sure Laker Land would react very well to this...

What's the over/under on how many points okc will score today? I think they could put up 150 if the Lakers figure out a way to keep up with them and push them to keep scoring.

We wouldn't be in this situation right now if it wasn't for the most flagrant screw job in NBA history, when Stern vetoed a perfectly legal and agreed upon trade for "basketball reasons".
