Lakers a Long Shot to Repeat?

Lebron: Take notes on how to play playoff ball

[stealthyburrito]

I'm far more worried about Orlando than I am about the Lakers. The Lakers aren't tough enough to stick with the Cavs.

shame we won't get to see it happen

Lakers looking good, good day, truism

i'll laugh my ass off when orlando or boston beats the flakers

orlando proved they have weaknesses and the lakers will take advantage of them, its easy to look like a good team when you are playing shitty opponents

orlando's scorers can be shut down as proven yesterday by boston, and they will have problems deffending lakers many weapons on offense

I can see boston beating lakers the way they are playing now but only time will tell

Your looking af the series the wrong way. If they play Howard 1 on 1 that eliminates the three point threat, doc isnrolling the dice to not double team him. Will that hold upmtimemwill tell

[stymie]

looking good after last night

[hoopster42]

celtics > the lakers

[hoopster42]

the celtics are the team to beat now, without a doubt

[lakerboy]

you bumped this twice in a 5 hour gap looking for a argument?

the thread is about the lakers being a long shot to repeat. do you think the lakers are a long shot?

This might be the best laker team this decade

if the finals started right now, the lakers would be the favorites because of home court but the celtics would win, so yes, right now, i believe the lakers are a longshot to repeat. you got your asses kicked by these guys in '08 and now rondo is better, but you guys are not better than you were 2 yrs ago because bynum is useless with the fukked up knee, are you ready to get beaten again lakerboy?

lol hoopster did your alarm clock go off? look when this thread started. the lakers are not a longshot to repeat. they will beat boston. watch and see. if you think the lakers arent better than 2 years ago then you are more clueless than i thought. radmanovic started for la then.

rondo improved but are the big 3 still the same as 08? gasol and odom also improved from 08, and they also got artest now who is a big factor to defend pierce, in 08 radmanovic always HELPS pierce get going with his BULLSHIT DEFENSE

[t-wizzle]

The chemistry between Gasol and the rest of his teammates (particularly Kobe) is so much better it's not even funny.


Butttttt.... will Gasol revert to his old ways of shying away from physical play?

[kobefanatic]

1 thing for sure in this series
pierce won't go off like he did in 08
reason: artest ain't a pussy like radmanovic, if artest can somewhat hold his own against a budding superstar like KD, he can surely hold up against pierce who is not as athletic as KD

[shoebox]

Kobe,
a healthy pierce is deadly, I don't think Ron can impact his game like your saying no way.

shoe the lakers lineup from 2008 is way different. the celtics are the same if not worse.

i know pierce is deadly but artest is a way better defender than radmanovic ever will be, radmanovic helps pierce gets in his groove like crazy, his defense was shit and will always be

[shoebox]

Fair enough but you can't tell me a veteran pro like Paul is gonna get shut down by artest?

[shoebox]

Better than the shaq era!!

[kobefanatic]

he won't get shut down what i meant was he won't be playing like he did in 08 because artest can defend better than radmanovic, pierce will get his points but won't be as much as he did in 08

[paco]

Better than the shaq era!!

Imo

Well if sheed wakes up like he has been we might have ourselves one hell of a finals.

[lakerboy]

no he wont . the lakers arent the magic shoe. they offer so many different looks unlike orlando. they are resting bynum in this series right now and no one is even noticing that. kobe is gonna chill as well. i know boston is strong but they arent deep enough to beat la. there weak ass bench will become a factor. the laker bench isnt strong but its better.

[paco]

Celtics will give the Lakers a hard time for sure

[kobefanatic]

i don't think the celtics has a weak bench, big baby,sheed and tony allen are worth something

[lakerboy]

i would rather have odom/brown and farmar. wallace is an explosion and momentum swinger

Rondo 100x better. Allen Pierce and KG all the same as they were then. Rasheed is nothing. They are the underdogs once again. It's going to be a hard fought 7 games for Kobe for his 5th.
