You're crazy if you think that any team could overcome the size disadvantage Phoenix would have there. Diaw would be guarding Gasol and Amare would be guarding Bynum.
Good enough guys. We'll wait and see.

I agree with Boris/Pau but the problem with Bynum post-surgery this year is that he's quite slow. He couldn't have run with Amare. Pre-surgery Bynum, sure but Bynum's slow as right now.

The 2007 Suns were a very consistent team, these Lakers are not. If the Suns had gotten past the Spurs, they would have been the champs in 2007.
Manu > Gasol
Manu's efficiency is under appreciated because the Spurs are a slow paced team and his minutes were always monitored.
And efficiency is what wins les, just ask Dirk Nowitzki.
What was so rigged about the 06 Finals? I think the only thing rigged in the 06 playoffs was Stern allowing the Mavs to get to the Finals in the first place......
Obviously they would have. And you might be the one person to say the 2007 Suns were consistent. Jump shooting teams aren't consistent. There was a whole saying about them, "If you're down by 20 keep playing cause they might blow the lead, and if you're up by 20 keep playing cause they can storm back."
Bynum guarding Amare would be a problem but Fish always does a good job on Nash and Ariza is the type of defender who always gives Marion problems.
Derek in Fisher couldn't hold Hall of Famer Steve Nash's jockstrap.
Fair enough I suppose.
Maybe I talk down the 2007 Suns more than I should but Phoenix isn't going anywhere as long as most of the fans are in denial about the Nash-D'antoni project not working and believing that the 2007 Suns were some in amazing team that would have face ed the 1986 Celtics, so I do my best to point out that team simply wasn't THAT good and overachieved in a very weak era.
You can make a strong argument that they do. Andrew Bynum. A lot of short-sided fans like yourself have probably given up on him, but I think if that kid can stay healthy the Lakers have a huge piece that will keep them compe ive as Kobe declines.
Bynum's a good talent who with some luck will have a bright future, but pegging him as a can't-miss all-star like Rose or Durant is a bit much, especially with the guy's injury history. If they can't afford to keep Odom this summer, then they most likely won't be as good a team next year. I'm not sure they can afford to keep him and Ariza, as no one is going to take Vujacic's or Walton's contracts without a nice draft pick or something in return, which the Lakers will not have. Buss has never been a huge spender even when they were competing for les in the first half of the decade, so I'm not convinced he'll spend like Cuban to keep the entire team together. You're looking at salary approaching $86-$87 million or so to bring back Odom and Ariza, and that's with them dropping Sun Yue, letting Brown and Powell walk, and trading out of the first round. The Lakers committed salary could easily push $90 million next year if they don't make some cost-cutting moves.
ROTFFLMFAO
Lil' ghazi is in the closet on this one!
one ring gots
Mavs don't have a ring Bag.
