On a scale of 1-10, how much does this team scare you?

[PyrrhusX]

2.5ish, being generous.

[Hoiids]

Only MWP.
Guy is crazy

[Quickening]

Rapists are scary I guess.

[RaininTwos]

Depends on the context, I think that it would be pretty scary watching them descend or ascend a staircase. Senior citizens tend to have a lot of falls on those things, they might break a hip.

Kobe should change his number to 14 and MWP to 18 :roll:


10,12,14,16,18

[Clutch]

So they have a good guy (Nash), a soft guy (Pau) and a clown (Dwight).

Rapist (Kobe) and a crazy guy (MWP) surely make them scarier but nothing to be afraid of since Kobe won't rape men.
Basically the only guy who someone should be afraid of is MWP.

I'll give them a 4 just because they have a lunatic on the roster.

[ballup]

3. Most of these guys are soft and MWP aint not Artest. Kobe is all serious and what not, but he's not going to go after you.

[tpols]

but nothing to be afraid of since Kobe won't rape men.
.
What?

:no:

[Clutch]

I rest my case:

[kennethgriffin]

on a serious note. people don't realise the advantage LA has now


they think its just a tallent upgrade... its not

A) nash will get the benifit of the calls his way, fisher/sessions never did

B) howard will get the benifit of the calls his way, bynum never did

C) the lakers will get the benifit of the calls again*... they havent in a while

D) the rules are geared to let old PG's play into their 40's now.

E) kobe can focus strictly on scoring now. no more wasting energy having to run the offense

F) bynum was a cancer and people didnt even know it. he held back team chemistry by not wanting anything to do with the team, acting out, not being involved in time outs or play calling. and acting weird off the court. hes gone

G) mike brown will have ZERO to do with the teams offense this year. they hired offensive coaches to take over his job. and nash/kobe will take care of the self inplimented triangle like offense

H) the nba/reffs/stern will once again know the best possible finals will be LA/MIA




trust me... if i were not a fan of the lakers. i'd be scared

10/10

[Stuckey]

9.9 if healthy

[ralph_i_el]

Good- Nash
Bad- MWP
Ugly- Pau

[BankShot]

As a Wolves fan, this Lakers team isn't any different than last year's in a practical sense.

The Wolves weren't gonna beat last year's Lakers, and they won't this year.

It does however make the Suns more beatable, which could add a win or two.

Net gain.

[ncrizzle]

probably an 8. If age/injuries/bench were not issues it would easily be 10

[swi7ch]

If I'm the Heat, 10.
If I'm the Thunder, 0.

Heat are built to lose to LAL.
OKC are built to beat the LAL.

By that logic the Heat shouldn't be worried about them at all because the OKC will beat LA. :lol

[DaSeba5]

I'd say a 6. I think OKC will beat LA, but they are pretty scary on paper.

[lilgodfather1]

On a scale of 1-10 for me is a 0. Couldn't care less i'm not going to lose a game to them, and unless we are talking about a handicapped WWE style match then I am not too worried about losing in a fight to any of them. You know the fact that I will likely never be in a position to fight any one of them, and if I was other than Artest's crazy ass I would like my chances anyways.

6

definitely not goin to the finals :lol

[DixieNourmous]

Its good not to be scared, but the chances the Lakers are going to beat many teams this year by 20+. it could make it embarrassing.for some.


I say an 8

Dont know about a title but they definitely have the tools for it.

[TaLvsCuaL]

If all 4 were in their prime would be really scary, but I think Lakers will suffer many problems with that old perimeter defense.

[B-Low]

2. They are still much inferior to OKC.

Howard is hardly an uprade to Bynum. What your really paying for is Howard has good knees and Bynum wasn't even injured last year.

Kobe will decline even further and he was already terrible last year.

Nash is the only real upgrade and I don't think his skills will be utilized as much on a primarily halfcourt team. He will go back to Dallas Nash, worse actually now that he's ancient.

I would be terrified though if Kobe completely changes his game so that he turns into a facilitator that picks his spots averaging 18 PPG and works the offense through Howard/Gasol while letting Nash pick up the pace at his own comfort. Kobe will make it all about him though which is why LA will not win it all. LA would be one of the best teams in that scenario, but if Kobe wouldn't defer to Shaq, what makes you think he'll defer to Howard. :roll: :roll:

Not anymore. Those games were close..and that was with last years vastly inferior LA team. They made SEVERAL upgrades...and improved their bench as well.


Dudes on here are crazy.

[Anaximandro1]

As a Spurs fan, I'd say 10


I think it's funny that people actually think the Thunder have a chance against a healthy Lakers squad. Thunder have NO chance in a 7 game series. None.

Durant,Westbrook and Harden will be 24 by the time the playoffs start.Their best years are ahead of them

Nash will be 39 and Kobe and Pau ~ 35/33

[Rubio2Gasol]

How much did this team scare you?

Rondo-Allen-Pierce-KG-Shaq?

:D

Lakers are very very old, we at least need to see them play to put them above teams like Boston and OKC.

[Rubio2Gasol]

While I agree that the Thunder have a good matchup against the Lakers....alot of that is depending on Kendrick Perkins lol.

Howard evened out the scope of that series for me.

[It's A VC3!!!]

This same Laker team lost 4-1 to OKC. The addition of Nash only makes Westbrook happy, and Perkins can contain Howard and make him non-existent. This Laker team just put a band-aid over themselves. They should just rebuild. I certainly don't believe they can even push OKC to 6, and they are probably not even better then the Spurs.

Coming from a guy whose team signed Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace to long term contracts :roll:

Perkins can't do anything anymore from what I saw, that's the problem, If he was the Perkins from Boston you may have a point.Plus, Howard gets to freelance on defense is bad for Westbrook.

I'm sorry. I just read that hilarious hot garbage above and had to get that out of my system:lol

Just gotta love it how haters OVERRATE the hell out of Perkins, like he's some defensive machine:rolleyes:

Yeah, he can contain Howard, like he "contained" Bynum too....right? GTFOH:roll:

[pauk]

lol, to be honest when you see the picture it looks like the most stacked lineup in NBA history.

[Canelo_Griffin]

Not scared at all. Bynum would always rape the Clippers (Deandre Jordan) anyways and I'm looking forward to Griffin posterizing Dwight at least a couple times. Nash is meh, so I think scared is far from one of the top adjectives to describe how i feel towards my team facing the Lakers.

This year i would go with a 4. it takes awhile for a team to gel and can they mesh with kobe play style. nash won't be effective watching kobe from the top of the key. with this team gasol wont have an impact on offense.

if howard fully recovers? pretty high. I'm not a fan of Gasol though. That guy is too inconsistent, and another thing after all these years he still doesn't know how to motor at 80% and then shift into overdrive when needed. As a result he's constantly worn out.

if they get Jackson? real high level.... when you figure if he can lure Jimmy away, he'll bring Cleamons along with him... that team's gonna be real serious threat. Those guys got a way with players, that is for sure.
