Good luck man. I'm sure this can go for a long time if you keep it up, at least you will be interested with a monster team like this.

I thought this was going to be a Timberwolves Association when I saw the thread title.

Thanks man!

Sorry for the miscommunication, the Lakers nickname came from the state of Minnesota, which is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes"

I think Bynum looks better in black glasses...

Maybe...

Why?

Cause it's called the land of the 1000 lakes.

Lakers Season Opener at Home
Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers Nov. 2nd
Kobe led the Lakers to a quick start as he exploded in the first half for 27 points. Kobe ended up finishing with 39 with 6 assists and 1 block! The Lakers did an amazing job stopping Carmelo all throughout the game leaving him with a dissapointing 17 points. Both the Nuggets and the Lakers had many turnovers, but it equaled out since they each had 16 turnovers. Lakers did a great job on their boards as Gasol, Bynum, and Odom got double-doubles with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Lakers also had many blocks and forced the Nuggets to take more outside shots. Nuggets had a poor FG%, but when they got fouled they took advantage of it and made their free throws. In the end the Lakers managed to beat the Nuggets with a double-digit lead and take home a nice opening game W.

Lakers 2nd Game at the Energy Solutions Arena
Los Angeles Lakers @ Utah Jazz Nov. 3rd

Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to their 2nd win with 26 points, who shot perfect from downtown, but struggled at the free throw line only hitting 50% of his free throws. Gasol had a monster game with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 blocks. Raja Bell rang the bell shooting 6 of 8 from down town, ending the game with 26 points. AK-47 also helped out late getting 9 of his 19 points in the 4th quarter. Deron Williams also had a nice game with 12 assists. Whenever Bynum got the ball he threw up a hook shot and it kept going in. Deron Williams was hacked by Pau Gasol, going up for a lay-up, and has Back Spasms for 1-2 weeks. Lakers really took advantage on defense as they had 13 blocks, and held the Jazz to 38% FG shooting. The Lakers took this game in a 20-point sweep with the help of their defense, the bench players sharing 30 points, and out-rebounding the jazz by 8 rebounds.

Land of one Raper.....
Good luck.

[kibaxx7]

Good job keeping the Jazz to 9 points Weird how Raja Bell exploded, he never scored more than 10 against me... I guess the signing of Iverson in my story killed his minutes.

Yeah Kobe's a beast Thanks.

Yeah well that was mostly because Paul Millsap got the ball everytime in the post and was getting denied or missing his shots because of the height advantage of Gasol. The Jazz called a lot of plays for him trying to get him open with screens, and they worked. Raja Bell was on fire

November 5th. the day every Lakers fan cried.

It's a sad day in Los Angeles as Kobe Bryant falls on his knee awkwardly after attempting a lay-up on Friday's practice. and completely tore his Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL). He will unfortunately be missing the remainder of this season with only playing 2 games this year. Derek Fisher says "It's really hard to see a guy like Kobe go down, but now we have to survive on our own, and prove that we all make this team great." Pau Gasol noted "I feel like since Kobe is gone, a lot of motivation and ambition will be taken away, and I will try to take over as this team's leader for this year."

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL.

This makes this a better association. I am for sure going to read this one.

Reload the roster man, reset the association. This can't be happening

[Fresh8]

I guess i'm sorta glad it makes it interesting, but now I'm screwed, I basically have to make up 20+ points every game because Kobe's not here.

That would be cheating.

[Fresh8]

Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom can make up for Bryant's output.
