I admit and despise how good the Lakers could be from 2009-13, but they will never have a championship banner that says 2008. Odom will miss FTs late in the 4th quarter, there is no way I'm even going to debate this with you.. it's that obvious. I'm shocked that you don't admit to his lack of mental strenght. He will probably also laugh while missing the 1st FT of 2 because he's that insecure. The Spurs are obviously past their prime but still capable enough to down the Lakers in a 7-game-series. I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this. We will both watch and see soon enough. To be honest, I bet you know I'm right also. You just don't want to jinx your team.
Never did I say they can't compete. Everybody in the WC playoffs can compete this year. But the Spurs are that kind of team you REALLY have to outplay to beat in 7 games. When you are just a little better, the Spurs are going to win the series. The Lakers can hope for horribly officiated games in their favor, though. I mean, how much better would Lakers - Celtics be for the NBA, compared to the more likely scenario of Spurs - Pistons?

You act like he's a veteran coming back from an ankle sprain. When the facts are that he's young as fuck and coming off a knee injury and has yet to play a basketball game with Gasol in his life. Also, Lamar Odom is proven to be a faggot in the clutch, always missing FTs and all. Don't forget that Fisher is injured and has even been in a slump before that. Do you really think Farmar isn't too young to hold his own in a Game 7 against the Spurs, when Parker is making him work on the defensive end like no other while Bowen is doing nasty things to him? Next year it will be better, but right now it is quite absurd to act as if the Lakers were an untouchable playoff team... sorry.

No ring for Kobe this year, sorry.
There is a rumor on Clublakers posted by a moderator : Bynum out another 6 weeks ...
i think the lakers are a great team and will no doubt compete but the thing that annoys non laker fans is the fact you dont admit the other "challenges" are great teams too. thats the thing thats hard to stomach.

Well sorry if few other teams don't have the swag to take the Lakers in 7 games. Outside of San Antonio, Boston, and Detroit, who is there?
