2010-2011 Los Angeles Lakers are not contenders.

[O.J Mayo]

Here are the facts:

- Kobe Bryant has declined too much
- Andrew Bynum is another glass knee fracture from not playing.
- Pau Gasol is just another Euro overrated no defense softie.
- Ron Artest was one of the worst signings in the summer of 09.
- No elite quick footed defensive wings (Bryant not elite and Artest declining)
- No interior defensive presence.
- No real shot-blocking presence on the team
- Derrick Caracter's hyped arrival ignores his inability to play basketball.

Few bright spots include:

- Steve Blake actually replaces Jordan Farmar.
- Matt Barnes fits the douchebag Lakers to a T.
- Phil is still a great coach.

Projection:

45 wins - 8th seed in the West - 1st round loss in the playoffs

This isn't "material."

This is the reality of the 2010-11 Los Angeles Lakers.

If my post is accurate and these points are understood then the post would not be taken as an "insult."

Glad to see you acknowledging the facts. You may exit the thread and find a new one to spam, thanks.

Year and after year, post-Gasol trade, we have all tried finding reasons to degrade the Lakers contendership. But in all fairness to the Champs, they still the champs, and must I hate to admit, championship pedigree is hard to challenge unless you are the Spurs, Celtics, etc.


Still, fuck the Lakers.

[Medvedenko]

Good post OJ, good post indeed. We're these the same issues last year?

[Giuseppe]

....especially the Artest will implode issue.

tee, hee.

[namlook]

45 wins is a generous prediction for the Lakers. Unfortunately I think they are looking at the lottery. And Phil is not a great coach. He's been lucky to have great players.

[Duncan21kid]

shame assholes, heaps of NBA analysts believe the lakers are going to win less than 50 games.

go fuck yourselves.
good day

By the time they're finished waiting for that, he'll have raffled off enough rings to buy the Heat and send James down to the d-league. Just for kicks.
