I think the 2009/2010 Lakers can beat any champioship teams post Jordan era

[keep-itreal]

except for the Shaq-Kobe Lakers.

That team was stacked.

Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Kobe, Ron Artest.

Anyone else agree?

It was a great team for sure. Great balance of roles on that team.

[ISHGoat]

They were a great team, but I think that without Christian Thomson and other wind defenders they cannot a healthy cavs

[Duderonomy]

2008 Celtics
2011 mavs (swept the same team pretty much)
2004 Pistons
2001 Lakers
1999 Spurs
(Non-champions) 2002 Kings

That's all I got.

2012 Heat would smash them.

2012 Heat would smash them.

2012 Heat could barely beat a team with David West and Hibbert who feasted in the paint. Tell me how a team with Gasol and Bynum AND Kobe wouldn't demolish that Heat team. Ron Artest guadring Lebron. No contest. 4-1 Lakers.

Bosh always played well against Gasol and Bynum for some reason. I actually think the Heat would beat them comfortably. Just too quick up and down the court for the Lakers.

The Heat always struggled with more brutish PF's and C's.

Yeah, because Bosh was injured. With a healthy Bosh that team smashes the 09/10 Lakers.

I actually think those teams are among the worst champs over the last 10 years.

They barely beat the aging 'big 3' Celtics. I don't think they beat these teams:

2004 Pistons
2005, 2014 Spurs
2008 Celtics
2011 Mavs
2012 Heat
2015 Warriors

So beating a team 4-2 without your best big man and 3rd option on offense is "barely beating" ?


To answer your question, LeBron and Wade, that's why. HEAT in 6.

Didn't the Lakers almost get taken to 7 games by the Thunder in the first round?

Until batman Pau Gasol saved another one of Kobes game winning bricks.
