No way the Lakers win the le this year

[resistanze]

The Lakers have some serious flaws but their sheer talent and cohesion masks it for the most part.

In any other NBA year I could see them screwing up (if teams like BOS, ORL and SAS) were healthy. Fortunately for the Lakers, it's one of those years where they were able to stay relatively healthy while other haven't. I don't see any team posing much a threat to them, unless we saw CIA Brown in the regular season.

They were playing against a banged up Jazz squad with a star PF who has a tendency to quit and a coach who, when faced with adversity, panics.

Lakers are fine for now. But there are 3 squads playing some very nice ball and will test the Lakers.

Lakers are supposed to take it easy: They are the 1, the Jazz are the 8.

The Lakers will make it to the Finals, but there's no way they beat the Cavs.

The Lakers would beat them. LeBron is better than Kobe in my oipinion but Lakers are strong and will even be stronger by finals time.

They are WAY too complacent. Thy'e good and they know it, which can backfire. I'm not saying we'll take 'em out but playing with your prey before killing them will catch up to you eventually.

I guess I may have been on to something, though LA technically can still win the le.
