Bynum + Ariza returning=Lakers winning the title

[The_Game]

They are cruising right now but come june the lakers defense will be fine and they will win the title

thats the only reason why Boston won last year..Bynum interior defense will be the factor come june

yes lakers aren't playing great now but they are 21-3 while playing average

lakers will be NBA champs this year.

LAKERS ARE THE BEST TEAM

[Def Rowe]

Wha? Maybe...

[Kobe™]

Ehh Defense is horrible ATM.
Even if you are "Cruising"
All these close games with mediocre teams should not be happening..

Our rotations have been weak, too much gambling, weak mentality.

[YellowFever]

Only problem with your analysis is that the Lakers guards are gambling more on steal and playing closer to their man knowing that Bynum is behind them and covering for them...

....Only problem is that Bynum is slow as hell getting to the basket before the point guards get there.

They are getting burned bad by point guards and that won't change until:

1) Bynum is quicker and covers for the guards

or

2) The guards somehow miraculously get quicker...(not likely)

newsflash

Celtics are the greatest franchise EVER



top 2 defense, the best player the world in Lebron who is playing at such a high level, good depth, good interior defense and now they have a PG who can spread the floor with his outside shooting in Mo Williams which is something they lacked last post season.

Anybody disagree?

doubt it. tlong has a higher chance of becoming a laker fan than the lakers actually winning it all this year.

[stretch]

The team is soft, relies on the three, plays defense that consists entirely of steals and blocks, and has low defensive IQ.

Cavs are winning it all.

Unfortunately, Bynum suffers from big man disease. He's gonna be slow.

once lakers defense improves the rest of the league will be in trouble. They can play defense but are just playing lazy right now and are still 21-3..everybody should be scared of them.

You mean like Yao?

[DrHouse]

It is a bit startling that the Lakers are 21-3 despite playing with such laziness and complacency.

I suspect as the season goes on the D will significantly improve along with the mental focus and effort. This is a Phil Jackson coached team, they won't start peaking until post ASB. Fortunately the Celtics are already at their peak....unfortunately, that peak is good enough to win a ring.
