Playing above average defense for one round against mediocre teams, doesn't somehow vault you into defensive juggernaut status. Only teams who really play championship level defense and have proven such all year are orlando,cleveland,boston,la.
Props to your teams first round wins, but any notion that these teams are championship caliber is laughable. The big men depth of blair,mcdyess,bonner and jarron collins,amare,frye simply will not get it done period. At the championship level, you need defense and rebounds and must control the paint. Neither of teams have done that at any point all year and the stats don't lie.

Spurs fans obviously don't believe it the way they've been nosin' that Suns ass since they ended the Mavs.

It's a gd disgrace is what it is.
A leopard cannot change his spots, and a 19th ranked defense over the season isn't going to somehow evolve into a juggernaut overnight. The suns aren't sniffing a le with that defense.
What's a gd disgrace is having a bunch of children who barely qualified for the playoffs take two games from the #1 seed.
Do Laker trolls know their series is still going? I bet Artest plays real well tonight. , he might even shoot 40%.
What you eggheads don't bother to realize is that the Thunder have ranked in the top 5 in defense all year long. So really, the thunder are actually better equipped than spurs/suns/jazz EVER could be because they actually play some defense. Suns and Jazz as good defensive teams is laughable. Spurs I will give some respect to because they were about 9th all year which is above average.
Got nothing to do with you climbin' into bed with the Suns and lickin' their balloon knot.
So...you like big men. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm sorry but any team who starts Jarron Collins cannot realistically believe they are at a championship level can they?
How about one that starts Derek Fisher?
Championships are won in the paint, not on the perimeter. Suns/Jazz/Spurs are highly deficient in paint protection and rebounding. A big NO NO as far as le aspirations go. This has been proven over the last 20 years that you need defense and rebounding to win it all.
- "ssssssssssssshhhhhhhh." - Derek Fisher - Philadelphia, PA. - June.15.2001
If we assume the Lakers make it to the Finals, the championship will be won on the perimeter because the Lakers have Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, and Shannon Brown. Oh and Ron Artest.
5 year deal
neither the suns, spurs, or lakers are sniffing a championship this year.
So Utah is making the finals?
Id rather have my role players and weakest liabilities at perimter positions than at front court positions. Bonner,Blair,Mydyess,Collins,Amare,Frye not one of these guys could guard a red cone used for DMV driving tests.
Dice is fine on defense. Did very well on Dirk, who is a better shooter than anyone the Lakers have. I have a hard time seeing Gasoft or Andrea post up McDyess effectively. He's too strong to allow them to manhandle him. Bonner sucks but that's nothing new. Good luck with Deron Williams
You really going to want Mcdyess to try guarding either odom/bynum for 40 minutes a night? Dude will be fouling out by the 1st half with that strategy. Once Mcdyess is out, than its either blair/bonner/manhinmi and that is where the game will be lost for your team.
lakers will probably make the finals, but the beatdown will be so severe that it won't even be considered close
If they face Queen James than yeah I agree. It will be a bloodbath, mostly a red carpet parade to the free throw line. If its celtics/magic we could get a fantastic series and probably 7 games either way.
OKC is our lone stumbling block. If we can trimuph over them the remainder to 16 is shaved pussy.
Says the guy with the dead horse in the race.
4 and option.If we assume the Lakers make it to the Finals, the championship will be won on the perimeter because the Lakers have Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, and Shannon Brown. Oh and Ron Artest.
5 year deal
And yeah, laugh all you want as your team heads for irrelevance as ous contends for les.
