Take some time and actually break down the West:

I see OKC and Portland as legit challengers. Dallas is the wild card. They could easily end the regular season on a tear. The West is not what it once was. That's all I wanted to say.

The west is weaker, but what you neglect to mention is that the Lakers are part of that weaker west.

OK fine, I was wrong about their age. SORRY. Let's move on. Bottom line and all that matters: Is Portland better than the Lakers? Do you think they'd beat LA in a 7-game series? Answer that question truthfully.

There is only one team that would 'scare' me and that's OKC and I've explained that already.

You didn't explain much..

I think the Lakers could be beaten by all the teams you listed outside of Utah and 1-6 Portland is a better team than LA but LA has a true go to superstar in Kobe.

I do think they will contend for the west this season..but they are FAR from shitting on teams

did you literally not just watch two denver games where they were far more athletic than you and should have beaten you twice

do you literally not realise that fucking tony parker is literally more athletic than your entire team at this point

do you literally think we're not in a lockout shortened season by the end of which teams like the heat and thunder who can run up and down on everyones ass will be the only ones left standing

you are severely underrating how old your team is, how little your team defends, and how shallow your team's construction is

are you literally asking for a non homer opinion when you are acting like the biggest homer of all time atm

Ty Lawson and Co. are NOT gonna beat the Lakers in a 7 game series, sorry. That's just not gonna happen. And seriously, Tony Parker? Duncan playing 25 mins a game with career lows in every statistical category. That's a team that will beat the Lakers?

That's arguable. Before the season started I'd agree but after seeing Bynum 2.0 and Kobe rejuvenated from that procedure on his knee, I'm not sure that's the case. Ask yourself these 2 questions: Is Bynum better this year? Is Kobe better this year? Yes to both and they offset the loss of Lamar.

A fair assessment, for once.
 
Are there any Pacers-age here?

It's funny that you watched other people get banned in real time for being trolls but you continue to do the same thing..
 
toney was gud last year imo when playing behind felton dont turn on him because he was put into a position everyone knew he wasnt fit for out of necessity :(

his shooting will pick back up and he wont have as many minutes it'll be all good
 
I'm not a player, I just Shump a lot.

Shumpert's name is ALL you hear from the radio and TV broadcasts. Even when he's on the bench. Melo and Stat who?
