the lakers
please get real
This is the best team ball I've ever seen the Lakers play and that's including Magic / Kareem teams. The 2000-01 Lakers was basically Shaq and Kobe show. This year the wins have been a real team effort and its surprising to me to see the Lakers bench actually executing the offense -- especially when Barnes, Blake and Bratliff are new to the system. I didn't expect it from Barnes.

1985 team was deep...but not as deep as this squad...unless you think Nevitt and Jones can beat Carachter and Ebanks.
But, this team, as cons uted hasn't won a ring. All the other Lakers teams mentioned have. By June you may not be able to pull a straight pin outta Blakes & Barnes asses with a 20 mule team. Walton's ass would turn the damn thing into a diamond.
85 was more versatile
, Magic could play 4 positions (don't mention the C position vs Philly, he started at center, that was about it)
the 1985 lineup is just deeper than the 2010 lineup. the 1984-1985 lineup has been a proven champion, while the 2010-2011 lineup is just a work in progress.
and do you seriously compare mcadoo to lamar?
By the time lakers get to the playoffs they will well rested and tbh this is not even th best as it gets. It's not our fault we barely even try and blow teams out. This team and kobe especially can go up a couple gears if needed
Lakers fans lurk this board looking for Lakers haters comments. A number of these posts originated here:

right now the lakers are beating the teams they're supposed to beat and just staying below the radar, kinda like San Antone (4-1) and not saying while all the cameras are on the Heat.
With that said, if it don't make Dollaz, it don't make Sense.
im comparing the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th etc. We are talking about "DEEP", not top 8.
Im also not comapring being proven champions. The question is "which team is deeper"...take it at face value.
ain't that the truth?
I have no doubts the heat will gel well but man they're really getting hyped. It use to be the Lakers getting all the love on espn but now it's the heat.
I think Sasha is getting the least minutes right now, so technically he's our 13th man. And considering we used to think enough of this dude a few years ago to be on the court at the end of playoff games for us, I'd consider this the deepest team.
bingo...walton and sasha.
No more Adam Morrison type players. lol
Especially when you consider he took the last two shots on June 17th of this year.
Though last evening I was watching "it" again on the DVR and Adam looked pretty dashing in his all black ensemble. Like a young Johnny Cash.
Best of all? No Jordan Farmar...That, my friends, is a championship in itself...
Man Gem, you REALLY disliked JF didn't you?
That track is banging
Love it when she talks dirty.
That track is banging
one of the most underrated producers out there and a classic diss record.......
Oh, yeah, when she ends her visit with the terse & curt "Thanks." I about hit the ceiling.
She's all girl.
Besides the fact that he is a Bruin and I'm a Trojan, I just thought he believed in himself way too much to have me support him. There were so many breakaways that I would thinkg to myself...'Oh great...Farmar is running the break--it'll end up as A) an offensive foul...B) a turnover solely on the fault of his...or C) he'll put anyone running with him at a horrible angle and make a fastbreak falter...You can see how much better our 2nd unit is w/o him.
Man Gem, you REALLY disliked JF didn't you?
*There are maybe two or three ex-players I really am glad to have seen gone from the Lakers at the point they leave...he was just irksome to me.
He dunked on KG. He has my respect forever.
The Lakers and 72 wins? Phil Jackson isn’t into it.
Kurt Helin
Before the season the talk was about the Heat and 72 wins, with everybody sane saying it wouldn’t happen and wasn’t worth the effort. But that never stops the talk.
But the Lakers? They are off to a 7-0 start. They look deeper, they have a healthy Kobe Bryant and a rested Pau Gasol and an inspired Lamar Odom. And they haven’t even gotten Andrew Bynum in the fold yet.
Why not the Lakers and 72 wins? Because Phil Jackson isn’t convinced these Lakers play good enough defense, for one. Also, he’s been down that road and knows a lot of things have to fall your way. Here is his quote from via the Daily News.
“In ’92, after the first championship (with the Bulls), I think we’re 46-3 or 43-6, something like that around the All-Star break,” Jackson recalled. “The owner called me up and said, ‘I hope you’re not trying to win the most games ever won in one season.’
“And I said, ‘Well, we have a lot of depth. We have a young team. I’m not trying to wear them out. We’re just trying to use momentum and win games.’
“That team ended up winning 67 games. They had a little letdown at the end of the season. You get a feel like teams know how to win games and know how to turn it on at the end. They know how to expend the right amount of energy to win a ballgame.
“That really happened with the team in ’95-96. They knew how to blow teams out and put them away in the early part of the second period. Everything kind of fell into place for us, also.
“We went on a long road trip and three of the five teams or eight teams we played on that road trip had injuries to players who were important players. We won seven out of eight games on that road trip. Things like that happened.”
There you go. I’m not going to disagree with Phil Jackson.
That was about his only moment that I'll applaud him for...
