lakers have it tough vs.
Cavs
Celtics
Rockets
Blazers
those are all tough matchups
I know I'm sure as rooting for the Rockets to be that 8th seed and face the Lakers in the first round, but is anyone else as excited as I am? I mean they will probably lose to the Lakers, but could you imagine how epic of a series that would be?
Brooks/Laundry
Martin/
Ariza/Battier
Scola/Hill
Hayes/Anderson

Dont forget the Thuggets, who wipe their asses with us as of right now.
Not scared of Celtics. Or Magic.
over the past couple years, Mavs (with the exception of that abortion of a game in LA earlier this year) play the Lakers pretty tough. If the Mavs gel, they can definitely give the Lakers a rough series.
Rockets would be a great 8th seed. Lakers can't stop Brooks. Ariza will want revenge and Battier can shut down Kobe.
I guess nuggets, but they are too inconsistent
Celtics play their best vs. Lakers. Kinda like Mavs play their best vs. Spurs![]()
Who is this Kyle Laundry guy? We are actually a great team for Martin because he'll always be able to guard the slowest and worst PG/SG/SF on the other team. I can see Martin guarding Fisher on the defensive side.
Mavericks now that they got Butler and Haywood to match the Lakers size.
When did we pick up a Laundry at the PG spot? Must be a 10 day contract...![]()
- Rockets screwed up when they traded Landry; he was difficult for the Lakers to handle.
- Blazers don't have Roy or Oden; they don't stand a chance.
- Lakers scored 2 points in 7 minutes last night to close the game. The best Closer in the game will be back for the Finals if the Celtics make it.
- Nuggz did everything in their power to lose the game last night but Cavs couldn't buy a bucket to close out. You make those crunch-time mistakes against the Lakers and you're done for.
That only leaves the Mavs and Cavs in the Lakers way.
Roy's playing tonight actually. With Camby we should be able to take you out.
As of right now the Lakers toughest matchup is your mom. The following is my list of reasons.
1. Your mom has that rotted cooch so it will give them all kinds of VD.
2. Your mom also blows guys from other teams so she could give out valuable information when her mouth isn't full.
3. Your mom is fat as so they run the risk of getting something broken when she tries to ride them.
4. Your mom knows what Kobe's thing is so he constantly has that on his mind.
5. For as old and fat as she is she trains hard so they run the risk of getting worn out and dehydrated.
6. She looks like Phil Jackson so it confuses them when they are told to do things.
Not without Steve "Nash against the Lakers" Blake you won't.
Vote goes to Nuggets and Cavs at the moment. They seem to have LA's numbers. I would be very scared facing this teams without HCA.
Denver will beat the Lake Show even without HCA. Nuggets in six.
Now go ahead and talk .
you base the nuggets-lakers potential playoff series on ONE game (that the nuggets won in a very difficult building?)
praying that the Spurs take the 8th spot.
After seeing the new-look Mavs in action the other night against the Suns, the league is going to have a hard time with them. Butler and Haywood are great additions to that team.
It's the same problem with the Nuggets for the last few years.
It's the same reason why the Nuggets lost to the Lakers last year.
You saw it at the end of the All Star game between Melo and George Karl. And we saw it again last night.
The Lakers are the best closing team in the NBA, you make 3 mistakes (like the ones last night in crunch time) against the Lakers and you're screwed.
Nothing has changed.

against spurs front court: dice wheelchair, bonner the sg in a pf body, the beast who cannot look pau in the eyes too little, Ian the "he could bring something but he will stay on the bench cauz pop doesn't like him", Theo "the spurs hired me for that but they finally think the best way to beat the lakers is to reinforce the cats", finley the "sure I can guard Odom" and RJ the "bring the Walton!"
Using a scrub team like the Suns (that play no defense) is not a very good indicator.
Great, another bandwagon Laker .
