Lakers is your 2010 NBA Champions

[ginobili's bald spot]

You just got raped the last two games by losing teams. Take it one step at a time kid.

I'm actually a big fan of the Cavs losing games. I look at it this way, last year they breezed through the whole season and won 66 games. It was almost too easy and they didn't face any adversity as far as losing streaks and stuff. Once they had that adversity they folded against the Magic when the going got tough. So I look at it like, if they are going to be successful in the playoffs, they need to figure out their weaknesses in the regular season. Same goes for every team but I don't hang on the regular season record anymore like I used to

nothing happened to me, it was the Nuggets.

Geez people, we are FANS and not actually part of the team It's just a game, move on

It sucks when the Nuggets lose but it doesn't bother me that much, life goes on.

If i was the cavs, i'd fake a shaq injury, like broken thumb, or bruised shoulder, and save shaq till the playoffs, where it really counts, will do wonders for their team chemistry and defence, and have a not so winded shaq for the post season.

lol seriously, some people on this forum invest too much into their teams, if they lose, life does go on.

In the end, it's just a form of entertainment, not a way of life.

i'd like to see the lakers play a good rebounding and defensive team. The spurs - if they can get it together- would be such a team. We are such a team. The bobcats are such a team. Bucks could be such a team with more pieces.

The lakers have a very hard time against aggresive rebounding & defending teams. They have great size upfront, but they are soft -let's be sincere.


Second of thought, they are not the most mentally stable team. Odom & bynum fade ALOT. Artest is a ticking bomb. When things go wrong kobe can play some ugly ball. Their bench can get outmuscled easily.

So, bottom line, if they play a team that has great mental strength and great d they are going to have real trouble.

every team has their mental and physical deficiencies.

Kinda funny how everyone keeps hoping, artest will implode, odom will fade once getting his contract, bynum will get injured, kobe will rape some other white chick.

Those are all long shot situations.

I can say, KG's gna get injured again, Ray allen is going to go ice cold shooting again, the refs will stop falling for Paul Pierce's many flops, Glen davis is gonna get injured in a nightclub fight again.

I think the OP is stupid enough to think he can predict the NBA champion of 2010 and even more stupid to think Blair can be a franchise player, Celtics rebuilding around Perkins (seriously) and Rondo (give me a break), Orlando and Pheonix are two completely different teams, they have Dwight Howard, little more defense? Ya, so LeBron will definitely leave Cleveland? Oh, and Shaq is done.

Jazz scored 120 on the magic... yeah more defence all right. Dwight's not even gonna sniff that DPOY at all.

Oh ya, once again, it is just one game where Dwight Howard completely sucked like . Teams lose games.

Orlando was the #1 D in the NBA last year, and they're currently 9th even after last night's horrible outing..Chieflion is clearly hitting it here, while you're wrong, as expected..

if the lakers prove to be unstoppable this year, look for two of the trio of james and wade to join foces. if not with each other than with chris bosh. i believe the only teams that can compete with the lakers are for sure the celtics and maybe the magic. spurs are not yet ready and the blazers equally looks like a complete mess and now missing oden. nuggets are too immature to beat the lakers in a seven game series.

and yes, it will probably get worse next year as the celtics age into oblivion and the spurs still with their question marks. blazers might finally step up and the magic will still stay at the top but the compe ion will get thinner for the lakers unless james and wade make some offseason splashes.
