You're up 3-1, but you're not that good

Well, they're not an all time great team but they're certainly very good.

But I don't think they've been "stacked", at least during these playoffs. With Bynum playing like a below average center instead of a top 5 center (which he was playing like before the injury), it takes away an element from the Lakers and therefore they've looked very beatable in the Denver and Orlando series, but those teams just couldn't make enough plays down the stretch of swing games.

If Bynum bounces back to pre-injury form next year (which I think he will) and Ariza improves then the Lakers are gonna be even better next year, and perhaps "stacked".

But as far as these playoffs, they haven't been 'stacked'. they were beatable.

Very good post.

They don't have to be that good. They just have to be better than everyone else.
