Magic Johnson: Lakers Not on Celtics’ Level

[teecee]

I know how much NIK respects Magic (i think he even said he was better than MJ23 once), so I thought I would post this:::



"You don’t need one of the greatest basketball players to tell you the following: Right now, the Boston Celtics are a better, hungrier team than the Los Angeles Lakers. All one has to do is watch the games and take a quick scan of the standings.

But if you need to hear it from a great former player, here it is. Courtest of the LA Times:

“Those guys have got to come out and really prove something to themselves and show the league that they are really ready to challenge the Celtics. Right now, the Celtics believe that the Lakers can’t beat them. It’s all about the Lakers on Christmas Day.”

 
“The Celtics are playing better on both ends of the court,” said Johnson. “You can just tell that they really want to repeat. The Lakers have been struggling big time on the defensive end, so they’ve got a lot of work to do to come up to where the Celtics are.”

The truth hurts.

With the Christmas showdown a mere three days away, the Lakers are currently on a two-game slide. As for the C’s, they’ve won 18 (!) in a row, tying a franchise record.

Suffice it to say, the Lakers will have a lot to prove this week."


In fact, as of now the Lakers arent even on The Cavs level right now with their shit defense.  You know when Kobe has to start going for 40 and tehy are losing, that things aren't going that well.  Oh well, we all know that NIK, even if the lakers don't win it all, will take satisfaction in the idea that IF the Lakers played to their potential they COULD be the best.   

Kobe will get 45 on Christmas, but Celtics by 15

I feel sorry for the Magic Man if he crosses paths with NIKKY BABy

championships aren't won in December though, I think the Lakers will get it together

[GangstaBoogy]

The Celtics are tough and grimy - 2 things I would kill for the Lakers to be.

Magic is right...we're currently not playing on the Celtics level. Not at all.

But when we play to our potential Lakers>Celtics. That's all I gotta say 'bout that.

I think the Celtics know exactly when championships are won....considering they just won one.

[thisoneguy360]

^ He's not saying the Celtics don't know how to win a championship..he's saying that it's only December and there's still A LOT of basketball to play.
