Ok, what moves will other teams need to make to beat LA?

[Nahtanoj]

Spurs: a frontcourt
Mavs: a rabbit's foot
Suns: a clue

[Rogue]

Brooks - Top 10 PG
Healthy TMac - Top 5 SG
Artest - Top 5 SF
Scola - Top 5 PF (or close to it)
Yao - Top 5 Center

dry water
yellow sky
smart idiot
delicious
honest liar
slumdog millionaire (this might be true though)
etc, etc, etc...

Yao - Top 5 Center

10 pg's better than brooks: nash/kidd/rondo/harris/sessions/rose/williams/cpwhistle/parker/nelson. forgetting a few

5 2 guards better than "healthy" T-Mac: kobe, d-whistle, iguodala, ginobili, johnson

5 sf's better than artest: LBJ, Pierce, Butler, Durant, Granger

6 pf's better than Scola: Dirk/Duncan/KG/Gasol/Stoudemire/Bosh

Yao is given

STILL INCORRECT ASSESSMENT IMO IMHO

I can agree with that, but it's not a whole lot.

5 2 guards better than "healthy" T-Mac: kobe, d-whistle, iguodala, ginobili, johnson

I disagree...Kobe/DWhistle, Ginobili, yup. But not Iggy & Johnson. Brandon Roy is Top 5 as well.

5 sf's better than artest: LBJ, Pierce, Butler, Durant, Granger

I'd put Artest before Granger due to Ron's superior defense.

6 pf's better than Scola: Dirk/Duncan/KG/Gasol/Stoudemire/Bosh

Agree, Scola #7

STILL INCORRECT ASSESSMENT IMO IMHO

It's pretty close.

LOL at mavs fans still hating on rox..........

Mavs have no future

yea they do dude, just like small tweaks, if they get shaq they will be contenders fersure

[sook]

The thing with the rox is that we don't need "Top" players, its about our chemistry and team play. Thats what we are all about now, hard nosed tough guys that play defense on every position

[SpursDynasty]

A healthy Manu for the Spurs.

A healthy KG for the Celtics.

A healthy Yao for the Rockets.

That's all there is to it. This isn't a team that other teams need to make moves in order to beat...they have had a cakewalk the last two years with teams missing their key players. Boston would beat them with KG, as they did last year.

[tlongII]

We don't need to do anything. We can beat them now and we're only getting better.

[iggypop123]

portland needs a real sf or pg. what they have is just not good enough. playing hard works in the regular season but in the playoffs they got beat cause they werent that good, one the experience came in to play

We got beat because we weren't prepared for the intensity of the playoffs in game 1. That happens when you haven't been there before. Fortunately we have more talent than the Lakers and now we've got some experience too.

Actually the blazer got beat cause rockets was the better team. With that being said, I would rather have the blazer win the championship over the lakers..
