Lakers Could Easily Lose In 1st Round

[jjgold]

Kobe seems to be lacking the energy and is definately down a notch, this team is in trouble. It will be a miracle if they ever got to the finals.

[Holtgetsback]

Sharp play JJ. I suggest you jump on some Maverick futures

[dwaechte]

Any team that makes it in the West can give them a run.

[jjgold]

A guy like Roy now is better than Kobe

[beerman2619]

Lakers are done there is no switch they going to flip on come playoff time either.

I don't think the Lakers make the finals this year, don't see them losing in the 1st round though. I am real interested to see how far Oklahoma City will go, it could be deep into the playoffs.

[dwaechte]

Kobe will need to dig deep and push himself further than he ever has, as well as get good support. Fisher/Farmar will be key.

Lakers offense is looking pathetic in recent times.

[Brock Landers]

these games mean as much as preseason games do, which is to say they mean nothing, been jaking it for weeks now knowing it. Lakers will kick ass in the playoffs, where the real players play

[Holtgetsback]

Can't wait to bet on Bavetta ..

he will stretch out a series or two.

[jjgold]

Every series could go the distance

all 8 teams in west could get to the finals

Should be fascinating, cannot wait for them to get underway.

I don't see them losing to anyone but San Antonio though Portland would have a chance.

You don't think Denver/Dallas have a decent shot at em?

Or Utah? I think Utah might be the worst matchup for LA.

Phoenix is good but the Lakers are not a good matchup for them.
