The fans have stated that Dwight Howard was a coward, lacked mental toughness and could not handle the LA spotlight. Kareem stated yesterday that Dwight was limited offensively as well defensively...The fans have stated that the Lakers are better off without Dwight Howard and that they do not need him. So therefore I declare...now
That the lakers should win a title this year...Kobe Bryant being injured is no excuse. With or without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers should win the title. If they do not...They are a complete and utter failure. If Kobe Bryant is not on the court for season opener, he is a complete failure who lacks mental toughness. NO EXCUSES....there is a sense of urgency and he needs to act like it....Kobe should start...and pick up exactly where the left off last year. I expect the Lakers to get the #1 seed in the western conference and win the NBA title....no exceptions....no excuses...now that Dwight Howard and Earl Clark are gone....the Lakers should be a far better team than they were last year....Title or BUST.....
They have the best players, and are a far more defensively sound team than they were last year...just look at their starting five...

Plus they have the amazing all star talent Nick Young coming off the bench who once went 2 for 21 in a game last year for Philly and during the 2012 season with the wizards average a phenomenal 0.9 assists per game...Nick Young will not start as Kobe will be ready for the season opener...contrary to reports that he will not be ready...which we know is a pile of BS...Kobe is not Dwight Howard...he has mental toughness...and a sense of urgency...never mind that the average recovery period for an ACL is a year...Kobe will do it in less than 6 months...NO EXCUSES....
Go Lakers!!
