see the spurs maybe old but they are experienced tim duncan is still gonna be a threat manu is gonna be healthy soon tony parker is still young jefferson is good and they got a good post rookie to play with tim duncan who is dejuan blair so lakers are a good 3rd place behind nuggets and first place spursCOMTONDAJATT said:http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4367213
Well, sorry rest of the NBA looks like the Lakeshow isnt going anywhere anytime soon
Lakers 3rd? They are the defending champions and will have a healthy Bynum and a world class wing defender next year in Artest. No team in the west has answers for them. Manu might never be productive like he was before, Timmy is not the same as he was a few years ago and is on the decline. Dejaun Blair? Are you serious?jsidhu said:
l0l im sorry bro, your making bynum seem like hes a superstar or something or even a huge contributing factor. He's just a big body thats hit nd he has streaks where he plays good at times, when the opposing teams defense is whack. None of the lakers point guards can guard tony parker no matter how old hes getting. Manu coming off the bench destructive, RJ i followed him in jersey, hes not a perimeter threat he can put it on the floor and drop it down with some authority. The Lakers come in 2nd to the spurs and then the nuggets, as go0d as the nuggets were, billups is gettin old. but Melo is NASTTYYYY =]COMTONDAJATT said:
Dude is like younger than me and has shown flashes of brilliance both times before he got 2 random freak injuries. He is one of the best young players in the game.singh5327 said:
Are you referring to the Jamario Moon summer session where he went bonkers...yeah how about 7 ppg.COMTONDAJATT said:
Moon has some crazy nasty dunks man! haha I pretty much agree with you. If I had to rank the NBA teams in Preseason it would go something like thisSaab said:
hater, hahaha. We got a kings fan in the forum. haha.Somia said:
I think those 3 teams in the east are really close, I just like Orlando's front court depth now with Bass and Gortat back. I think Boston is gonna be really lucky if all 4 of their main guys are healthy, if they are then I think they are the top dog in the east.Kush said:
Steal one? i dont think so man. Lakers are gonna come out hungry for another "Larry" and if Boston comes out as the top dog in the east regular season and the ECC, the Lakers are gonna be even hungrier for revenge for that embarressing championship run they had against boston. on top of that, with Ron Ron on the perimeter playing every game like a pit, the Lakers will be ranked 1 in defense this next season, and most definitlely 1 on offense, and the fact that their possible contender will be boston (if all four guys are healty) he'll create problems for pierce, kobe can take ray, shuting out their two main offensive threats.Kush said:
well i dont argue that if lamar is back with lakers then there the threat, i was lookin at it as if he wasnt coming back, no doubt lakers will be a serious threat with him. I still dont believe in bynum, i have a hard time believing he can be a star in the league, like i said he's a big body. Nd i really can't see boston coming out on top in the east. Their starting line-up is just so old, and adding Wallace doesnt make it any younger. If there takin to game 7's (bulls and hawks) i dont see them winning consistently, there are too many young talented teams that can keep em running and winded. Artest can guard Pierce, cause pierce is getting old and he's had to carry that team for soo long, its got to be getting to him, and Ray Allen is ice cold in the playoffs, so lakers dont need to worry bout him, he'll have probably one breakout game in the playoffs, but it wont be in the finals.ENVY BANG-RUH said:
