Had to happen at some stage.

You are right in saying that Detroit always seem to have our measure.

I'd be confident in beating the majority of teams in the league in a playoff series, but there are a few I'd be wary of. Detroit are one of them.

Radmanovic is starting to really annoy me.

 

[peternorth]

Radmanovic is starting to really annoy me.

he's just there in the hope that he catches fire and hits 2 3's......for the entire game.

problem is if we start ariza we dont have the spark for the second unit. in one way is perfect for the starting 5 as he doesnt need shots. in another, his defender will double kobe et al and leave him open.

so many conundrums....

I love Ariza and hate Radmanovic. How can Vlad be starting in a top NBA side let alone any NBA side.

I want Korver as a Laker and Radmanovic as a Jazzman.

 

[walkers a legend]

Oh yeah and i wish we still had Crittenton but it was worth Gasol.

 

[Biggie]

I want Korver as a Laker and Radmanovic as a Jazzman.

I'd take that.

 

[walkers a legend]

Yeah well Korver is better then Radmanovic at what he's best at

 

[exhaddy]

radmanovic dominating yesterday....well sorta but not really 4-5 three point attempts now he`ll play 10 bad games

Western Conference Insider: Lakers resemble '95-96 Bulls

Sacramento Kings assistant coach Randy Brown knows what a 70-win NBA team looks like.

He was on one.

Or should I say, he was on it, because the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls are the lone team in league history to reach the 70-win plateau during their record-setting 72-10 season.

You might remember Brown, a role player who wore No. 0 on the Bulls' 1996-98 championship team, for trying to wrestle the game ball away from Michael Jordan after Chicago downed Seattle in Game 6 of the 1996 NBA Finals.

"I went for that ball," Brown told me before his Kings played the Lakers on Sunday. "It's Toni Kukoc's fault. I told him to give me the ball and as you can see, Michael and I are running for it and then it hit me: It's Father's Day, let the guy have the ball. So, I let it go. He was destined for it, so it was no big deal."

With a 118-108 win over Sacramento, Los Angeles pushed its record to 11-1, moving ahead of Chicago's pace in '95-96. The Bulls started their season 10-2, losing to the Sonics on Nov. 26 before going on a 13-game winning streak to set their record at 23-2 by Christmas.

Only seven out of the Lakers' next 16 games leading up to their Finals rematch against Boston on Dec. 25 are against teams with .500 records or better.

Brown thinks that this Lakers team with a clean shaven Zen Master and No. 24 running the show can match the feat accomplished 12 years ago by the bearded coach and No. 23.

"Of course Phil [Jackson] is down there, but they are a little more talented than we were when I played for the Bulls," Brown said. "At the same time, the NBA is getting some parity. There are a lot of teams out there that are good ... hopefully if they stay injury free, maybe they can get there.

"But 70 games to win in the NBA is a lot of games now because so many teams are good at home. Some teams are getting good now, the East is catching up with the West and the West is going to be strong for some years to come. It's a long season, anything can happen.

The Lakers aren't reveling in their torrid start. While L.A.'s average point differential through the first dozen games is a league best +13.25 (the Bulls' was +9.2 through 12 games in '95-96) there was hardly a feeling of "mission accomplished" in the locker room on Sunday after the Lakers allowed 108 points to a 5-10 Kings team. It was just the third time all season that the newly defensive minded L.A. squad let up 100 points or more to its opponent.

"All we're worried about is the Lakers," Lamar Odom said. "We're not worried about what any other team is doing. We're not concerned with any other uniform or any other organization but the Lakers."

Jackson echoed his sixth man's sentiments when asked if the Bulls' record was on his team's radar.

"We're not thinking about anything at all besides the next game," Jackson said. "New Jersey, they're on a streak, we have to play one game at a time and see what it brings. We have a home stretch here where it's really important to take advantage of this."

By not acknowledging the hot start, the Lakers are actually taking the same approach that the Bulls did over a decade ago.

"I'd be lying if we said we [made 70 wins our goal]," Brown said. "It never was a focus of ours. It never was a team goal. It's funny, I think when we got to 68, 69, Phil Jackson started chirping, 'Why not go ahead and win 70,' but, we were just in a groove. Michael was on a mission and we had a bunch of players that played their role. Like I said, we had no idea that we were going to win 70 games but at some point, after winning so many games in a row, we felt like we could get there. It was a memorable season."

While Brown and the Bulls didn't dwell on 70 wins when they were in the moment, the former 12-year vet with Sacramento, Chicago, Boston and Phoenix now has plenty of time to reflect on it.

"I think about it everyday and I think about how much I didn't take advantage of it because I thought that team would go on forever," Brown said. "After three championships, we thought we could win four, thought we could win five, but, Michael retires, Phil leaves town and next thing you know, there's no more Bulls. I tell the stories to the guys everyday, it was a great time in my life."

I really love the Lakers. I think I'll have to jet over to CA when I'm in the US, catch at least one game.

I predicted this rise last year, but didn't think it'd be this awesome.
