Title: Your official prediction for how far the Lakers go this season
Post by: jeromechickenbone on February 02, 2008, 04:40:04 AM
Early in the year, I thought with the obvious development of Bynum and a needed vet like Fisher, the Lakers were going to get past the Suns and into the 2nd round.  With the addition of Gasol, they are def a more dangerous team. 

However, Bynum must get back and be 100% if they plan on going any further than that.  I'm sticking w/ my initial prediction that the Lakers make it to the 2nd Round.

its a diff season in the playoffs and this team is a bunch of playoff losers the last 5 years, including gasol, so i aint sold on them even beatin the suns, but theres no way they can beat dallas or san antonio in a series. so the prediction is they wont even make the conference finals.

If Bynum is back and healthy, then the Lakers can go all the way. Realistically I see them going to the conference finals.

well when u look at the fact that the lakers aint won even ONE series since shaq left and that dallas has, its pretty easy to see which team is the playoff losers. dont be pissed at me that your team loses when it counts every year, go cry in the jews lap.

nobody mentioned rings or championships but you, groupie ass nigga. the thread is about prediction on how FAR INTO the playoffs the weac lakers team will go, and given the fact that your heros the lakers cant even get out of the FIRST round or win even ONE series makes them well known playoff losers since shaq left. of course dallas has also lost playoff games and series, but at least they can get to the finals and win some playoff series, something your team cant do at all. so your team is a team full of first round playoff losers. get it now? thats why they are predicted to succ when it counts again. shiet they succ so much they cant even beat 1st rounders.

sticc with the topic or just go watch yotuube vids with the jew.

They will get beat in the 1st round.  If they make the 2nd round they get beat in no more than five games by either SA or Phoenix.

lol,losing is losing homie no matter how you spin it. Your a mad hater. its not that you even hate the lakers but your obsession with NIK is obvious. by the way its easy as fuck to jaw jack on the sideline when you dont have to mention who your team is. i can guarantee this though if you did there wouldnt be a thread started everytime they lost "HA HA _____ lost again,,they succ". Stick to what you know,followin NIK into threads,suckin off Wack Wilson and internet crippin.

its IMPOSSIBLE to ever truly predict what will happen in the playoffs during the middle of the season. A few of us will get lucky and get it right, but thats about it. Id wait and see how Gasol works out before predicting anything

Post by: tempo2 on February 05, 2008, 04:19:56 AM
there is sbsoloutley no doubt that the lakers have improved with the addition of gasol. But before everyone predicts on what will happen there is loads of things to take into consideration. The game of basketball is such a fickle game wherby the slightest thing can make or break a team. will they be chemistry issues? will Bynum be fully fit when he gets back? how will odom or bynum like being 3rd and 4th options? how will gasol and bynum blend? what happens if theres an injury?

I think to get a true measure the next 20 games will be a test for the lakers to get aclimatised for the playoffs. The thing in the west is that any team can beat another team on any given night. San antionio are still the champs and until they get bounced from the playoffs the championship goes through them. And are the lakers really that much better than a team like Utah? who have been lighting it up latley. Although a Celtics V Lakers final is quote mouth wartering no?

LOL...lets see


C Andrew Bynum >   C Mehmet Okur
PF Pau Gasol       >   PF Carlos Boozer
SF Lamar Odom   >   SF Andrei Kirlienko
SG Kobe Bryant   >   SG Ronnie Brewer
PG Derek Fsher   <    PG Deron Williams

Phil Jackson > Jerry Sloan


I think it's safe to say the Lakers are better than the Utah Jazz.

The Lakers are a great team, but you can't hand them the championship because of this trade, the West is stacked. As far as the individual comparisons between them and the Jazz, that would be a great matchup, I think AK-47 is just as good as Odom and Boozer is better than Gasol. The benches would be exciting too, especially Millsap and Turiaf on the inside.

Boozer would be better than Gasol if he played defense. Right now, Gasol>Boozer.

how is a nigga gonna mention defense as a advantage over boozer when gasol is a horrible defender.

Title: Re: Your official prediction for how far the Lakers go this season
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on February 05, 2008, 08:20:45 PM
Gasol is not the greatest defender, but he's not a "horrible defender". Definitely has way better defense than Boozer. At least he'll block some shots and challenges anyone who steps in the post. 2 blocks per game on his career. Boozer provides 0 post presence on defense. When is the last time you heard of a center averaging .3 blocks a game? :-X

im pretty sure utah could win the lakers in a 7 game series. and boozer shits on gasol, boozer will average 30ppg on his ass and will outrebound him 2 to 1. plus AK will clean up his defensive mistakes.

Gasol is really good, but you're reaching again Nik. Boozer > Gasol.

Reaching? You can't be serious...It's a very even match-up. The only difference = Boozer rebounds better, Gasol defends and passes better...I'd take Gasol over Boozer any day...ESPECIALLY in the triangle...PeACe

Gasol is clearly the better fit for the Lakers, whereas Boozer is clearly the better fit for the Jazz.

As individual players, Boozer has got the edge.

Well see by the end of this season, now that Gasol is with a winning team.

i dont typically agree with Scittles on much, but id take Gasol over Boozer. With that being said, i say Kirilenko over Lamar.
