    I think they're like a .500 team without his game winners

    actually Manu won the game with the in-bound steal, Mason put them ahead by 1.

    When you get stripped, you kick your foot in the air?

    lakers are actually better without bynum. odom allows the lakers' offense to flow better and lets the offense come to him rather than trying to force it and take away shots from gasol.

    Agreed. Right now (sadly) the Lakers are the best.

    I'm hoping the Celts don't go into another tailspin. Lakers have some C's kryptonite this year.

    Offensively yes.

    Defensively no.

    What matters more in the playoffs?

    Tt's still just reg season but if Bynum is even 90% what he was pre-injury i would say we west favorites ...it would be disrespoectful not to place celts as overall favorites ...

    lakers were 22-4 last season when gasol was healthy and playing. bynum's lost won't do much to slow the lakers. if you extrapolate those stats into around where the season is right now it turns into 44-8, even better than where the lakers are right now. it was also during a long stretch of road games. so bynum's impact during the regular season is very small. his shot blocking is always useful though but lakers will be the best team with or without him.

    "If Lamar Odom continues to play even close to the way he played @ Boston and @ Cleveland, and if the defense is at least adequate..."

    Man, those are two big ifs. Odom is nothing if not inconsistent. If Phil Jackson could get Odom to produce like that night in and night out - well, he'd be COY for sure. And the Lakers defense is inconsistent at BEST.

    Since Odom is inconsistent, maybe Pop should put Bowen on him (instead of guarding Kobe)

    How often is Lamar frickin odom gonna outplay Lebron James? How often is Kobe gonna shoot almost 50% in a Finals game?

    The game was lost in the 3rd quarter, when Odom had 15 points and 10 rebounds. that's a 60/40 game, that's a fluke if I ever saw one.

    "Right now" doesn't mean much, a few weeks ago I could've said the Twolves were the best team in the NBA because they were undefeated in 2009. Now that wouldn't have made much sense, now would it?

    An impressive stretch for the Lakers, but the Cavs are still the best team in the NBA.

    I will agree though that the 62-24 points in the paint stat was very troubling.

    But the Cavs have the King, and the King will lead a team to a le even without much offensive production from the 4/5 slots, just like Jordan did.
    you're getting pretty annoying now.

    Ghazi is officially a , I don't know what happened to him, his "beloved" shtick was really annoying, but now he has turned into a complete troll.

    As for the question, there is no doubt the Lakers right now are far and away the best team. Bynum is important somewhat to their defense, but their offense flows so much better with Odom and Gasol. If Ariza can lock down the perimeter, I don't think it's impossible to argue that the Lakers are actually better with Odom and Gasol as starters. I know Bynum was playing impressively before he got hurt, but it was just a stretch. He had had a subpar season before that. Right now there is no beating them, and Kobe is headed towards a second straight well deserved MVP, eventhough stats wise LeBron is having a superb season.
