You got some f'in nerve:::your Terry scrambles out the same side door...into the same hole...same time...every year. Like f'in clock work.
Damn that is a ty ass bench. Luckily their top 5 players are as solid as it gets

The problem is that it's the same bench as last year...
And, um, they won the le last year...
did you also notice that the rest of the elite teams got reloaded??
Yes the other teams did reload, but they were also pretty far behind the Lakers. So they might have just caught up, who knows. But the Lakers upgraded as well with Artest.
the jury is still out on that one
Well, by that logic you can say the jury is out on all the other teams upgrades as well.
Same bench won it all last year.
Lakers bench > Cavs bench
Celtics and Magic and Cavs were not that far behind the Lakers IMO. Not that they're better now, but the gap wasn't that large. Still think Lakers are the best team in the NBA, but even though I said this last year I'll say it again: they will need more outta Bynum to repeat and I think he's capable..
Finley and Bonner are better than pretty much everyone on the Lakers bench outside of Odom. Hill is just as good as Farmar or Brown.
I agree about Bynum on both accounts, but I think the Lakers were far superior to any other team last year. A healthy Celtics would have been close, but they were not.
Please. Hill is easily just as good, if not better than Farmar (the one that showed up last year) and Brown.
Finley>>>>>>>any of your shooters coming off the bench and so is Bonner.
Uhhhhhhhhh, no. Bonner actually has good shooting percentages and started. He was at the top of the league in 3PT shooting, where was Sasha?
You are a staunch supporter of that garbage on that bench, even after the Mavs made those fools look like high school kids. Like I said, Bonner would get no minutes, and neither would Hill. In fact, Bonner is the Spurs version of Sasha.
I am not a supporter of those players, but they are better than the trash on the Lakers bench.
The Mavs would have made Farmar/Brown/Sasha/Luke/Josh all look like 1st graders.
We will see who has a better year next year, Hill or Farmar.
I am talking about sustainable success, not fluke runs.
I disagree DPG.
All of them contributed somewhat in the playoffs, and I don't see any way the Mavs would be able to throw a defensive gameplan at them to completely shut them down. We never have. No matter who dawns that uniform, they seem to play just fine against Dallas.
Do you mean with those players with the Lakers team? Then no. But those players on the Spurs last year, would not have done any better than Bonner, Finley, Mason....
I think a lot of people are sleeping on Shannon Brown. If he gets PT he'll have a solid year. If he has a solid year then the Lakers are 7 deep. That should be enough to contend for a le in 09/10.
The Machine got minutes.
Not when it mattered. I think(I may be wrong on this) Sasha only got 18 minutes the entire NBA Finals.
22 minutes actually. God you're so ignorant!!
I am not saying Bonner is the best player in the world. But he was on a Spurs team devoid of bigs.
He is certainly better than Powell and has proved this. Played a starters role and helped the team get to 54 wins.
If he was on a team, deep with bigs, he would not play. But he is better than the guys on the Lakers bench.
Hill would definitely compete with Farmar and Brown for minutes. He is a better defender than both and a freak athlete as well.
Yeah, he barely played, he'd spell Kobe like three minutes in the second quarter but that was it.
But Sasha did.

"Bonner is a power puff forward, and he would get no time on our championship team."

"But Sasha did."
Ipso facto, twixt the two rests "our championship team."
