Clippers deserve props. I don't care who they played, 17 straight is hard to do.
But when it comes down to it, the streak doesn't matter unless you win it all in the end
Kobe on the Clippers win streak "I really don't give a (bleep).."

Also matters when you peak.
Would be quite interesting if closing out the season they start slowing down while we pick up steam. Which looks to be the case.
Doesn't seem like the Lakers are really interested about the top seed they just want to make sure they MAKE the playoffs and to peak right when they are entering so that they can carry all that momentum throughout.
So if we're the 4th or 5th seed and chemistry is perfect and Dwight is looking like DWIGHT. Then they would rather enter the playoffs that way. Which is a good idea. I don't want us to go 20-0 and then lose in the playoffs. If we go 20-0 I want it to be end season AND playoffs!! To get it put on a ring

If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.
You should reach more often

While a winning streak like this later in the season would be more impressive, this is still pretty impressive.
No need to dump on accomplishments from other teams.

Snapping the streak will be a major step forward for this Laker team.

Simple being above .500 right now (and staying there for longer than 2 days) would be a major step forward.

Bets way to get rid of some Clippers is to throwem in a Lake, GO LAKERS!

Not the same thing
Kobe said he knew who Lin was but didn't keep up with what was going on with the Knicks.

Who would you have shooting free throw in a playoff game? Blake or D12? D. Jordan ain't too good either.

We can be the #8 seed and I still wouldn't bet against this Lakers team.
I'll take my chances on a team that features Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and Pau Gasol.

What a road to the Finals that would be — Start with the top seed LAC, then 4/5 which right now is GS and MEM. In the WCF would most likely be the 2/3, which could be OKC or SAS. Then the icing on the cake, face MIA in the Finals. That would be legendary if the Lakers pull it off.We can be the #8 seed and I still wouldn't bet against this Lakers team.

I hear people say that you can be a Laker fan and a Clipper fan and I just don't believe that. I hate the Clippers and I don't care that they are from L.A. I can't see myself ever pulling for them as a due hard fan.

Agreed. Here in NY no die-hard fan can root for both Yankees+Mets, or Giants+Jets, or Knicks+Nets, etc.

I am a die hard Niner Dodger and especially Lakers fan. I don't see how you can say I like the Clippers or I like Raiders or I like the Angels. I don't care to hear well they also represent the city,because in my eyes they don't and I always want the Clippers to loose unless it effects our team in a positive way for them to winAgreed.
