Oh Boy
Aww poor faker fan upset cause a guy named SimonHymen on his basketball forums doesn't share his wet dream. Get over yourself Kobe Pubes Puller.
Oh Boy
Lakers are deep but not deep at the C/PF position. I think they are gonna miss Turiaf alot. I can see them losing games due to some injuries, but i dont see them winning even close to 70 games. I dont even see them winning the 1st spot in the west.
Why do people act like Bynum is freaking Abdul Jabbar? Its ridiculous. People gotta remember hes like 20 years old. No freaking way do i believe a 20 year old center can lead a team to 70 wins much less a championship. Not this year laker fans.
Kobe will be Kobe. Odom leaving the bench wont be as great as people make it out to be. I think he thrives with great players around him but he cant be the kinda 6th man that manu is. no way.
Gasol is a great player but still soft. Radmonovic in the starting 5 makes it easier for alot of teams to deal with now to tell you the truth. hes pretty limited offensively and is not really a dead on shooter like peja or kapono.
Fall flat on his face when it's time to play like a champion, fantasic, look forward to it...
Did you see them winning the first spot in the west last year? How bout making the playoffs? How bout getting to the finals?
WOW.....they really seperated themselves from the rest of the teams....1-2 games....![]()
Im not gonna lie i didnt see them getting to the Finals but you also HAVE to take it into consideration there was much controversy regarding last years WCF's.
i wont even get into it at this point.
Stupidest post of all-times
ESPN > Allanon
Al you are usually one of the most sensible Laker fans to post, so I'm going to overlook this one.![]()
Sure the Magic Lakers were talented, but how many players deep could they go? The Lakers can go 12 deep this year. I believe at their best, Magic's Lakers could go 8 or 9.
70 wins, deeper than Magic's Lakers? Sure, I can be smokin' crack or watching through homer eyes. It's bold and crazy, I know.
We shall see guys, maybe I'll have to eat crow in a couple of months![]()
Kareem, Worthy, Rambis, AC Green, McAdoo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> today's Lakers frontcourt
Magic, Scott, Cooper >>>>>> Kobe, Fish, Sasha
That's only 8 players and yes, nicer than the current Lakers 8.
But I said deeper because the Lakers can go to 12 men this year.
Farmar, Ariza, Luke, Mihm, Powell are all great subs.
Some of my follow Lakers need to calm the down and drop that 70 wins crap. Season havnt started yet and while looked good in the last couple of the preseason games, people need to remember who we played. CHA, OKC and Barca
I do have high hopes for this Lakers team but lets get to Feb (at least) before we start talking breaking the Bulls record. I dont even care about that record anyway. Just get the Ring and im happy.
Damn I didn't cout
But it's not about quan y.
Think quality
Yah, I know it's not the same quality, I was just thinking from the quan y standpoint.![]()
The Lakers are going to be quite impressive. 70 wins? No. 60 I can see maybe.
70 wins?????
uh...no. remember you arent sneaking up on anybody this year. you have the target on your back so you will get your best effort from the...
Spurs
Celtics
Pistons
Mavs (still no pushover)
Hornets
Jazz
Rockets
Blazers
Suns
Clippers
did you guys forget how compe ive the West is?
True. The Suns are really deep this year.
Lakers have a talented team but their depth is dramatically overrated.
Luke Walton is trash.
Sasha is a nice offensive player but is soft and not a very good defender.
Farmar is looking like he could be something but the jury is still out on him. This is make or break for him this season.
Odom/Ariza could be nice sparks off the bench.
Powell/Mihm are average at best but they arent going to do much other than grab a few boards and have a combined 12 fouls to use. In fact I think they got weaker in this area after losing Ronny.
Overall it isnt a scrub bench but it isnt the deepest bench in the league. It is solid but that is as high as they are going to get.
You forgot Odom.
Lakers will be good, but not Rocket or Celtic-good![]()
