Howard just needs that extra push to get him to greatness. Right now Howard isn't ready to take over the team, but you can't be on Kobe's team and not be a killer. This year it's like Metta World Peace was ready to be Ron Artest again and rush the stands again. Gasol will be ready, Jamison actually might have been the best signing of the off season. I like our team, in 2006 we'd win the NBA championship. In 2012, it's still a very good team and I think has enough to get to Miami and play in the Finals.

Ron will be ready, dude is beasting right now. I have no questions Ron will be the Ron Ron that'll rush a Detroit crowd. He looks ready to go. My only question is Gasol, but that gold medal game had me wishing he was on Team USA, so that's a good sign. Kobe is not Kobe anymore, but he's better than 90% of the players in the league. Nash ain't Nash no more, but he's better than 85% of the guards out there. And it looks like Ron Ron and D12 will man the D with Gasol getting his. I'm excited.

YA THINK?

And I think. I only question the age and what a full season does to the team. I don't worry about Ron Ron, I don't worry about Kobe, they are workout-a-holics. But I do worry about Nash losing a step against Russell Westbrook, I worry that Pau Gasol might go soft, I worry that Howard will have back problems, I worry that Jamison lost a step. These are questions that have to be answered before I start crowning the Lakers as NBA champions for the next two years.

KOBE IS STILL MUCH BETTER THAN PEOPLE GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR. IT'S AMAZING THAT A PLAYER OF HIS CALIBER HAS BEEN SO UNDERRATED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. HE WAS 0.1 PPG AWAY FROM LEADING THE LEAGUE IN SCORING LAST YEAR, AT THE AGE OF 33. HE'S STILL ALL-NBA AND ALL-DEFENSE AND WILL BE EVEN BETTER THIS YEAR, WITH STEVE NASH 2 PLAY OFF OF. NASH-KOBE-ARTEST-PAU-DWIGHT...ARE U KIDDING ME? DUHON-MEEKS-EBANKS-JAMISON-HILL AS A 2ND UNIT...DWAMN! 3RD UNIT=BLAKE-GUODELOCK-CLARK-JOHNSONODOM-SACRE. BEASTMODE.

As a big sports fan, like I am, you know injuries and underachieving are a possibility. Before this year, the best Laker team on paper was 2004, and we remember how that turned out, or the 1969 team, or the 1996-1997. It all looks good on paper, but you just have to do it, and it's a beasting team, Artest is a beast, Howard is a beast, Kobe is the greatest player of this generation, Nash is the best point guard since John Stockton, Gasol is Mr. International all-star, the bench looks solid. BUT, there are too many questions to answer and as a sports fan you know this. Will Howard stay off the IR, can Kobe adjust to this much talent, is Artest now guard the other teams best players, can Gasol show up in big moments, has Nash lost too many steps? These are legit questions and not amount of CAPS LOCKS will change this.
