Metta World Peace is past his prime, but that won't prevent him from pursuing a prime and positively preposterous number this season: 73. That's the amount of victories he professes is a "goal" for the Lakers, which would surpass the stupendous 72-10 mark set by the dynastic and fantastic Chicago Bulls in 1995-96. To accomplish this, L.A. would have to win 89% of its games, a Jennifer Aniston-sized bump up from the 62% it triumphed in last year.
Sadly, The Artist Formerly Known As Artest's outrageous objective is more predictable than peculiar. Like making out in middle-school, Metta is over-the-top, twitching his tongue too much, anxious to go all the way before anyone is ready (Dwight Howard, physically and Antawn Jamison, emotionally). Call us pessimists, but when it comes to setting a new World record, we're not giving Peace a chance.
