disagreed he will clash with shaq and the celtics win championship

[xxxvince]

lets see if they get him first

[UCONS23]

True True

[THEGREAT30]

should be champs

[texhooper]

how often do teams who make these big trades mid season actually win the championship?

[obamaismyuncle]

They would still lose to the Lakers

Have you watched your Celtics play at all this year? They look like an AARP intramural squad at times.

98 percent of the time they reach the finals

[tigerbalm13]

I think Cleveland could do it.

[tbonmusikman]

Cleveland definitely has strong chance but they'll have to get by some strong teams too...Can we consolidate all of this Stoudemire talk? There are like 4 threads already

[vyomguy]

Lakers are the best team..period. They have so much depth its ridiculous. Lakers can easily beat Cleavland in 5 games in playoffs...they are that good. Amare would be a factor...but still they wont be good enough for the lakers.

[jsmithj88]

this trade isnt even finalized

[tltaylor89]

Not as easy as you think if they get Amare the Lakers and the Cavs will be evenly matched

Carbenero, are you from Latin America?

[carbonero77]

is carbonero, and yes I am from Uruguay,,do you know? I went to texas one time,,beatiful...

[eviltsi]

Part of me wants him to win it with the squad he has now, but then that means Amare, Bosh, Johnson etc will end up somewhere else. Guy like Amare really needs a passer, a la nash or bron to keep hime going until he gets a back to basket game. Bosh would be retarted in Clev. Shaq is going to take a pay cut to stick around next year and play limited minutes. Mo and West just fit in. And Andy, well he's not goign anywhere.

Lakers are def on there way out. Is Brown or Farmar going to lead the team at the 2 when Kobe leaves? this team should have made a trade for DWill or CP3 a long time ago.
Cavs winning the ship at 2.5 done and done

lakers are to long with gasol and bynum, stoudamire before the knee injury was unstoppable

Gasol and Bynum Dec 25th v. Cavs: 6-15 shooting, 15 points, 12 boards, 1 block
Gasol and Bynum Jan 21st v. Cavs: 8-19 shooting, 20 points, 18 boards, 2 blocks

Hardly intimidating numbers for guys that should be much more dominant. Cleveland controlled the paint against LA.

How confident do you feel come playoff time though.
How big of a favorite do you anticipate the lakers being??
Amare would change everything but hes not going to cleveland.

Oh I'd be very confident going against the Lakers as they are now in the finals. In fact, if you could guarantee me that the Lakers won't make a move for Hinrich I'd be 100% happy with the Cavs without a trade of any sort. The Lakers may be big, but they are very soft for their size. Also, Gasol and Odom will never get the kind of touches they deserve against Cleveland with Kobe on the floor.

[FishFace5]

C'MON big will. Kobe clearly knows how to win. He'll get those guys enough touches to win games. Who is gonna score points for the cavs? I know you're a die hard Cavs fan and you basically have to say you feel good about your team but you have to be praying one of the lakers big guns goes down for the season.
