Zolor23 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 3rd. Celtics and Spurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 2, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yeah, I think we can beat Orlando in a seven-gamer without Gasol. Bynum is a monster as long as he's healthy. But we'd lose to Boston without Pau, and same with the Spurs. Both teams have a frontcourt player that is way too versatile as a scorer and a defensive player. If Dwight Howard ever added more scoring abilities to his game, I'd change my stance as well. But Gasol will be fine soon, and so will the Lakers.

Revis Island Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Behind Celtics and Spurs. Still beat the Nuggets and Magic. Though I would still have confidence in Lakers vs Spurs, simply because Kobe owns them. Edited November 2, 2009 by ClutchCityOwns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I would still have confidence in Lakers vs Spurs, simply because Kobe owns them.Well, there's always reason to have confidence with Kobe on your team, but the problem is, Bryant will have his hands full defending Ginobili. Parker and Duncan are the other two guys we'd have to be concerned with, and Ron can't guard either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember last season he managed to do so, I'm not sure if that Duncan was healthy though. But a fully healthy Spurs team is better than a Laker team without Pau Gasol. If Ariza were still on the Lakers, I'm not sure If I would say this, because Ariza is the better individual player than Artest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted November 3, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 because Ariza is the better individual player than Artest.Come on now. Ariza is probably the better scorer today, but he's not a better rebounder, passer, or defender (and I know you'll say he's a better defensive player, but Ariza is a team defender, while Artest is a better physical man defender, and that shouldn't even be debated, especially if you watch how incredible he has been for us already).

Lkr Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 We're worse than the Mavs without Pau as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 They would be 3rd or 4th in the league behind the Spurs, Celtics and maybe Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
