Lakers will lose 2 to SA, 3 to Portland, 1 to Utah, 1 to PHX and 4-5 games to scrub teams next year..and that's just only from the WC.
maybe if the lakers were in the east and play the cavs 64 games

If only we could play the Spurs 72 games. Imagine the WCF + Bynum.
Bynum is Greg Oden's . We gonna whoop your ass!
Bynum sounds like a homer fan. Good luck with that.
Stop it !

Isn't this the same wit who went snowboarding during the '07 All Star Break and ed himself up so bad he missed the rest of the season?
Yeah.
REALLY scary!!!

At least my team won't be rebuilding in 3 years!!![]()
72 wins gives them a first round matchup with the younger and more hungry Blazers team that will see a larger increase in production from adding Oden and Rudy than the Lakers will get from adding Bynum. 2007 Mavs vs Warriors all over again.
Lol, so the guy has a couple good games and he can say stuff like this.
This is ridiculous;it shows how immature the youngster really is.
My suggestion is get him back to high school to pass some of his classes. And when he is ready with an improved IQ, bring him back….![]()
at least my team has 3 of the last 5 NBA Championships and 4 in 9 years. at least my team has the most wins of any NBA team since 97. at least my team has the best winning % of any team in the NBA, NFL, NHL, or MLB since 1997.
BTW, don't think that for one second the Lakers are shoo-ins to win anything in the next handful of years. Yes they will have the talent, but that does not guarantee success.
The Spurs still have the Big 4. They will get some new blood in this year, if only 2-3 pieces. Then next year, maybe add 1 or 2 more young pieces. Then in 2010, I am sure they will go for one of the top FAs on the market.
Portland looks to be building a solid team out there. If Oden can get healthy, they will be a force most definitely, and they always give the Lakers fits.
Oklahoma City looks like they are starting to build a nice young nucleus. If PJ can get them to play defense, they will be a scary team.
NO has shown they are a formidable opponent for the next few years. A few minor adjustments to that roster and they are set to go after the le.
If Houston can stay healthy, they have some nice players over there. I think they still need some depth on the bench, but health is their biggest opponent.
Utah is building a solid team. They still need a few more players. I will be very upset if they are able to draft Brandon Rush. He would definitely solidify their SG position.
Dallas and PHX are done, IMO. They will be regular season contenders, but once again playoff pretenders. Denver will be Denver and go nowhere near the 2nd round, if they make the playoffs at all.
So please do not think the Lakers have a cake walk over the next 5 years or so. Just like every team in the West, they will be walking on broken glass to get to the Finals.
Yes they will. People forget that Kobe has been in the league longer than Duncan. Big men age better than high wire acts. You have no other franchise player.
Uh, shouldn't Bynum be focused on the current series and not next year?
On paper, he may be right in that this team, if he's healthy, looks formidable. And that would be great....if the game were played on paper....but it's not.![]()
I hope they go for it. The last two teams (Detroit 64 and Dallas 67) that did had NOTHING left for their playoff run.
Bynum speaks the truth. Get used to it spur fans.![]()
Actually, one of the last two is in the NBA Finals right now.
The Rockets will stop you! Bynum can't guard Yao. Gasol will have to double.
Assuming Kobe stays in L.A.
Thats exactly what i thought when i read that. Im guessing he just saying the Lakers will be in great shape for next year and beyond
That was a pretty foolish statement by Bynum. Even though I think LA will be the best team in the league for the next couple of seasons, it's going to take a miracle for them to come close to 72 wins. Not with the WC being as compe ive as it is, if they can hit 65 wins I'll be impressed.
I too am interested to see how Pau and Bynum will mesh together. Pau is going to have to drop some weight and get more mobile if he wants to play PF, and Odom is going to have to work on his midrange shot all during the offseason if he wants to stay on this team and play SF. Phil has been historically great at working these kind of things out though, so I'm confident he'll figure it out.
Regardless, having too much talent is a good problem to have. The Lakers will have a lot of versatility next season and can matchup with pretty much any kind of team.
lol..you wanted to get flamed didnt you?
And then the Lakers will sweep SA in playoffs en route to another repeat (something the Spurs will never accomplish), just like in 2001.
It will be a nice problem to have next year. We'll have the depth and versatility with a full season of gasol and Bynum. Should be sweet, and of course to reach 72 wins you need a lot of health and luck on your side. Also, it doesn't matter what the record is unless you win the ring.
