Isn't a little early to proclaim who's the best???
I'm not so sure it's even close at this point. If Lamar Odom continues to play even close to the way he played @ Boston and @ Cleveland, and if the defense is at least adequate, they are going to be almost impossible to beat in a series, and that isn't even factoring in Bynum's return for the playoffs. The only team that might match up decently with L.A. is Orlando, and with Jameer out, it'll be a long shot for the Magic to get that far anyway.
Best in the league with a bullet. The LakeShow took that game today and shoved it right up the rectal cavities of "our beloved Cavs" and made them like it.

At this point, they're the best by a considerable margin.
It certainly looks that way, but Odom is inconsistent, and Cleveland wasn't exactly blown out. Right now though, for whatever it's worth, LA is playing the best ball in the League. If the playoffs started today, they would be the favorites.
Way too early to give them the le or anything. But, as of today, they are definitely the best. But so were the Mavs at this point in 07.
Don't take this one too hard JT, it's a long season and both teams have a long way to go...Knowing the Lakers they are going to bookend this 6-0 road trip w/ home losses to the Bobcats and Thunder
Good luck the rest of the way and hope to see you or the Celts in the finals
They can be the best all they want now.
We'll see how good they are when it really counts.
62-24 points in the paint. It was total domination.
It's true; Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton could never lose.
Joe Tait, do not say such things. The Cavs are the best team in the NBA because the King is the best player in the NBA.
If Lamar Odom can sustain that type of play? Lamar Odom is not a 28/17 player, Lamar is an inconsistent pothead 9/6 player. He shows flashes here and there, but he withers when it counts, as he did in the Finals.
How often is Lamar frickin odom gonna outplay Lebron James? How often is Kobe gonna shoot almost 50% in a Finals game?
The game was lost in the 3rd quarter, when Odom had 15 points and 10 rebounds. that's a 60/40 game, that's a fluke if I ever saw one.
"Right now" doesn't mean much, a few weeks ago I could've said the Twolves were the best team in the NBA because they were undefeated in 2009. Now that wouldn't have made much sense, now would it?
An impressive stretch for the Lakers, but the Cavs are still the best team in the NBA.
I will agree though that the 62-24 points in the paint stat was very troubling.
But the Cavs have the King, and the King will lead a team to a le even without much offensive production from the 4/5 slots, just like Jordan did.
We need to frame this. Ghazi's first post without the word "fluke"
Yes, yes they are.
Again........no respect. The Spurs just biatch slapped the Celtics at home and no mention at all. Yes, the Lakers are probably the best right now, but the Spurs along with the Celtics are in the same sentence with Cleveland for sure.
True. And this Ghazi guy is a trip. Talk about denial.We need to frame this. Ghazi's first post without the word "fluke"
Let me add by saying that nothin is won or lost in February. AND yes too, Lamar doesn't have a history of coming up big in big games. And even tho this is just the regular season. Lamar is atleast showing signs that he might be turning the corner in terms of that mental state of mind. I know hes not a 28/17 guy, but if we get 16 -20 pt lamar and 10 boards guy. NO ONE IS BEATING LA even without Bynum. He's such a mismatch and he exploits it like this then watchout NBA.
Lebron didn't have his A game I'll admit. But I think the Lakers D had alot to do with that as well. Making others guy beat them and for playing his dribble drives well. I won't make too much of this win other than we exploited them. However, I'm not that scared of the Cavs or Lebron James at this point. This is moreless the level the Lakers will play at come playoff time. This I don't believe is how the Cavs will play come playoff time. I know they are better.
Yep, Lakeshow are the best in the league right now.

The Spurs didn't exactly slap the Celtics. It was a combination of Mason hitting a huge shot and KG performing his usual 4th quarter disappearing act hoping Pierce or Allen will bail him out.
How many games has Mason single-handedly won for the Spurs?
I think they're like a .500 team without his game winners
Great game to watch Joe Tait. Good luck in the ECF, maybe there will be a rematch in the Finals.
3 when they were behind in the final 24 seconds, GayAndConfused.How many games has Mason single-handedly won for the Spurs?

Kobe=Bowen
Kobe got stripped as he was going up to shoot. Not even comparable.
Kobe=Bowen
If Jameer Nelson didn't get hurt, would the Orlando Magic be the best team in the league, having a comparably great record and having beaten the Lakers twice?
If they could get through Boston and Cleveland, then yes.
Let's be honest, they'd be the "favorites" anyway...just ask the media.
