Lakers Booed at Home against McHale and Timberpuppies

There was even another appearance of a recent phenomenon at Lakers home games -- booing. Lakers fans were not enthused after Minnesota center Al Jefferson blocked Andrew Bynum's shot, dribbled all the way down court and hit a short runner.

The Timberwolves had 16 offensive rebounds to only nine for the Lakers, as good an indicator as any that things just weren't right for the home team

The Lakers' fans are starting to sound like their beat writers. Earlier in the season, when the Lakers were beating everyone by 20, a beat writer projected a 17-game winning streak leading up to the Christmas Day tilt against the Celtics.

Now the fans not only expect wins, they expect flawless wins.

Where do these people come from? Shaq and company were successful, but it's not like they won every regular season game in a laugher. Chill, Laker Nation, chill.

Trouble in Laker fandom say it ain't so. That's what happens when you crown your team 2009 champs right after an embarrassing finals showing. The truth is they haven't really solved their problems from last season. Bynum is just a bandaid

Exactly right again.

Let' see how good Andrew Bynum is before we start handing him MVP trophies!!!
