Can the Lakers win 72? Of course thy won't have a problem steam rolling SA in the playoffs yet again, then curb stomping LeShaq in the finals.
Artest is pretty durable he'll play big minutes which will keep Luke off the court. Kobe already knows how to pace himself.
I'm thinking 72 is in reach if Bynum can avoid flying Kobes at his knee. That way Pau won't have to play 36+ a night like last season.
Your kidding right? If spurs get a Zaza, Sheed, or Mcdyess spurs back for #5. To be honest artest hasn't been as good the last couple of years. Artest is gonna beat the sh!t out of kobe or kobe is gonna to get him traded ruins team chemistry , no le.
Work on getting out of the first round before even contemplating number 5.
Why does Artest make you so confident? All you Laker fans said the only thing the Lakers have to do is re-sign Ariza and Odom to repeat. Now your overly confident after losing a guy that bailed you the out TWICE in the Denver series and went on huge unprecedented scoring runs in the Magic series. Your such a front running pussy. Have fun reaching 72 with two psycho paths(kobe and artest), a soft big man in Pau, a center who's knees are made of paper ing mashay and a point guard who couldn't guard another if 100 blow jobs depended on it. Your team is good no doubt, but like most said one of the weaker championship teams in recent years. They weren't tested, Yao was out, KG was out, Ginobili was out. You won in the year of injuries. So go suck another le out of the lakers ass.
I dont think Artest replacing Ariza is a garuantee of making the team better. Or do you add up statistics from each player and base your assessment on that?
You're an idiot.
Sorry we didn't have the officials help us out.
Work on getting out of the first round before even contemplating number 5.Nuggets would have owned lakers if not for stupid foul calls.
Blair gonna throw gasol down worse then he hasheem.
Artest is perfect for the triangle. Phil Jackson is maybe one of two coaches that can handle Ron. He's capable of playing heavier minutes than Ariza which will keep players like Sasha and Luke off the floor.
Ariza was a solid roleplayer but Artest is a beast. In the triangle, next to Kobe and Pau his efficiency will sky rocket negating his biggest weakness while he can focus on being the defensive behemoth he was born to play.
Buddy it's too earlier to say. The last time lakers beat spurs was without Manu and Rj not to mention that they are now much younger and chasing after a solid big man.
no, even if you add the postseason games.
Yeah the Lakers are really scared of a one-legged grandpa Manu, a volume shooter that has no idea how to play defense and a short, chubby rookie PF with no ACLs.
Much respect to Timmy. But 2003 was a long time ago.
Man ur an idoit.
Your posts are terrible, and I'm a Lakers fan.
Count me in on some 83 win ecstasy.

I just want to make the 2010 playoffs and win the last game we play.
There is nothing else.
LMAO at manu being a volume shooter and no defense. HHAHHHAHAHAH, i know ur in around but thank you for that. And blair played with those no ACLs all through college, yea he did ty
Again, some people don't like to tell the entire story!!
Work on getting out of the first round before even contemplating number 5.
The Spurs lost in the first round for the first time in 9 years. The Lakers lost in the first round in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
It happens to every good team once awhile.
I will take that ratio once in nine years.....
Don't forget the context when you are making a point!!
21 bags - the front running fool who disappears at the first sign of trouble - kind of like Ron Artest, the TO of basketball. Just remember Mr. "Backdoor F'n Sweep" who disappeared from ST for months after last years implosion by the Lakers -
Ron Ron is a glorified role player who destroys offensive motion time and time again. Did you watch the playoff games where he just started hoisting threes too early in the offense set?
Kobe is one year younger than Manu - his skills will diminish very soon. Maybe he breaks down in a few years, but the combination of being 31 years old with an extra 3-4 years of NBA mileage on his legs. Kobe could break down in 2-3 years or 2-3 months at this point in his career.
King Phillip is in such bad shape physically he MAY have only one year of coaching left in him. Chaos ensues when PJ hangs em up because the new coach will be afraid of offending Kobe and getting thrown under the bus.
21 bags will be shedding Derek Fisher tears (Spurs fans know what I'm talking about) very soon. And he'll disappear again.
Well, two of those years we were summarily "smushed." Oh, it was just awful. You'll never know the pain.
Christ, will you Spurs fans ever just let that .4 Event go? It's over already. And in the end we didn't get the ring that year. Sure, you didn't either, and sure we got four rings in the decade, but, this continuous self flaggelation you guys do over this .4 Fiasco is just pitiful.
lmfao you make it sound like the Spurs have never made it out the first round.

This is pretty sad lol. Please someone tell me this is a troll!
Hey, 89 post moron. I was not talking about the .4 thing. Please watch game six of the 2003 Western Conference semis with about two minutes left in the game. Damn. so many Laker fans are uneducated and probably a bunch a teenaged fools. If only they would all crawl back under the rocks like they did from 2004 to 2007things would be better around here.
At least we can provide the public service of educating Laker "fans" when its needed.
I get that.....
But it happens!
I just like context when someone is making a point.
21-Blessings makes seem like the Spurs have never got out of the first round like the Nuggets finally did this year.
You have to tell the entire story...not just the part you want to slam your opponent with!
That's if Artest doesn't punchout a fan in the stands and then gets a season long suspension.
