After seeing the first game (Lakers defeat Suns), and how the Lakers basically throttled the Suns in the second half. I have come to this conclusion:
Lakers > Spurs
Since the Suns made it to the WCF 2006 and the Spurs did not, one can make this assumption, no?
Discuss. :cooldevil
Well, and the Suns had Amare back last night, while the Lakers played without Mihm, Brown, and that Bryant kid.
I think this year's Lakers are probably the greatest basketball team ever assembled. I'm not even sure the 1992 Dream Team would have a chance against this year's Lakers squad at full strength.
Congratulations, adidas -- your patience is about to pay off.
Well Lakers deserve props for the quality win. Is Bill Simmons Ewing Theory in effect for Kobe? lol. Maybe they should trade him. Discuss.
Bynum > Shaq
Kobe > MJ
Odom > Pippen
Luke Walton > Bill Walton
Oh yeah...possibly the best ever
Jordan Farmar is better than Kobe. And Shaq. Better than both.
The Lakers are on pace to win 82 games... The spurs are on pace to never play again. I think the math speaks for itself.

WIth this kind of logic, the bulls are the best team in the league because they owned the champions. And when Kobe returns, say goodbye to your team, he will search a 100 point game all by himselfQuote:

Is there really any reason to go through the motions after one game?
A new Laker dynasty has begun......
:rolleyes
So, does that mean that they'll lose 2 regular season games? Or are you suggesting that after an undefeated run through the regular season and the first three rounds of the playoffs, the Lakers will crap out after Game 2 of the Finals and lose 4 straight?Quote:

He's probably suggesting the latter. As we saw last year, the Finals are meaningless in determining the NBA's best team.
As of just last year, of course... ;)
^what he said
You are so right, I'm calling to cancel League Pass. I mean - why bother? I guess I could then see all the Laker games . . . but after the 20th or so, it'll just get repetitive.

Well, I'm pretty sure that those who advocate that position would argue that the principle applies equally to 2003.Quote:

But they're wrong. It's a new league.
It's the new ball variable

Man I was at that game. Didn't find out that Atlanta would go on to win the championship, but was pretty convinced afterwards that the Spurs were not going to win. I still didn't give up hope, but I sure didn't see the hustle or heart.Quote:

The Lakers are pretty good when their shots aren't contested.
Yes people, welcome back to another season of NBA basketball!
I'm sure you all missed me the entire summer.
Lakers are a PG away to be a contender.
:lol @ Thread Title
After last year's playoffs and what Stern got away with, who could doubt that this is the Lakers' year? Kobe will average 30 points a game on foul shots alone.
hilarious thread, original op should just leave with his head between his legs, he got spanked so hard by the homeboys
I agree, the Lakers look as good as they ever have, and I include the Jabbar, Worthy and Magic glory days, through the Shaq and Kobe 3 peat teams.
This team is scary good, and I am so depressed about it.
The Bulls mark of 72 victories is going to be in serious jeapordy this season. You heard it her first.

Seems like someone got ahold of the brown acid.Quote:

:wakeup For crying out loud it's only 1 game and yet some people are already yapping out how dominant the Lakers will be this season. This hype is only equalled years ago when the Lakers signed Malone and Payton and everybody conceded the title to Los Angeles. Sure they beat our Spurs team and they got past the Twolves. But did they win the title? No. Detroit practically handed L.A. their collective asses. The 1 reason why I think L.A. dominated Phoenix is the fact they wanted to get back at the Suns for climbing out of a 3 - 1 hole and eliminating them in last year's playoffs. So don't count your chickens the eggs haven't even been laid yet. :wakeupQuote:

I think the colloquial term for the Lakers' system is "jelqing".

This is why I love Spurstalk...cuz of threads like these. :spin
Ok, the lakers win the first game and the spurs win the last game of the season.
Along with this perfect season, Kobe will average 38 assists a game, making Nash look like Stephon Marbury.
You know, the Lakers won their second game. Ronny Turiaf was the high man with 23 points and 9 rebounds in 31 minutes. :)
hmmmm DISCUSS :dizzy :hungry: :downspin:Quote:
