Lakers will surprise people this year.
They are a dark horse.

I swear, Barkley has to be one of the funniest guys on earth, every time I watch him on inside the NBA he always makes me laugh.

[WeGetRing2012]

Lakers are just an easy punching bag right now. People act like we don't have a nice young core and a team that will only get better has the season goes on. I would take my Lakers over many other teams in the league right now and people still always talk about how bad we are :confusedshrug:

Name them.

[Proctor]

I want the Lakers to be good just as much as anyone else, and no matter how nice some of their young players are, let's not pretend like they aren't garbage. They're better than last year, sure, but that's about it.

:roll:

we're going to act like the Dwightmare Lakers weren't great for the league?

[WeGetRing2012]

Name them.

Celtics, Portland, Knicks, Nets, 76ers, Nuggets, Mavs + other teams that are treadmill teams right now (making the playoffs but no ring in sight...ex Raptors)

Things are will start to come together for us this year, we have good young players + some solid vets if we can make the playoffs we will be in a good place to put our massive cap space to use.

[Mr. Jabbar]

:oldlol: LOL Barkley is SO funny :roll: , for a guy that didn't win a fkn ring that is.

Remember when Barkley won a ring? No, I don't either.

[KNOW1EDGE]

The Lakers are going to battle it out with Portland and Denver for worst team in the West honors this season.

Them being the worst team in CA is a given.

You would take the Lakers over the Celtics?

[All Net]

Kind of expected really. He wanted some opening night attention

Was this some kind of secret? California has the Warriors (the champions), a very good team the Clippers (who would've been in the CF if they didn't choke) and the Kings who has some good players like Cousins and Gay.

Lakers are rebuilding, we all know they will suck for some time. There's no reason to beat on a dead horse.

LA fans getting mad. :djparty

[HurricaneKid]

SMH.

Chuck forgot about Loyola Marymount AND the San Bernadino U18 AAU squad.

[West-Side]

Lakers won 16 more titles than Barkley has in his career, who really cares?

Whaaa?

Russell and Randle? GTFO. They have combined for less than a game of subpar basketball and have been a disappointment to this point. Clarkson might end up an adequate rotation player but will never amount to anything more than that.

And the "vets" they have are castoffs. Hibbert? C'mon, he can't play in the new NBA. Teams will just go small and he won't be able to stay on the floor. Nevermind his max speed went from 3mph to 2mph. Kobe? I'm not even going to go there (because I don't need to). Swaggy? Ha. Lou Will? Adding LouWill to a team with Swaggy and Kobe would be comical if it weren't so pathetic.

There isn't a single player on this roster that would contribute in a meaningful way to a contender. I mean Brandon Bass is probably the closest. And thats not a good thing.

[MP.Trey]

I missed Barkley. He'd fit right in on ISH. :lol

[kennethgriffin]

at first i was like "no way a WNBA team can beat the lakers"





then i remembered the clippers swept us last year

[catch24]

Barkley just talks a lot of shit. :oldlol:

But the Lakers have been absolutely terrible, so you can't blame him for thinking that way.

How the **** is a team with more draft picks than anyone else a treadmill team?

Just because a team isn't good yet doesn't make them a treadmill team...

[bballnoob1192]

I love Barkley and all, but this ***** needs to put down the fried chicken and realize that the Lakers will always be the best sports team in all of CA. 16 titles motha****er. Choke on that

Only one Laker fan isn't incredibly butthurt by Barkley :oldlol:

[Vancouver-Grizz]

He is right...

Lakers are lost in transition right now. They have all these young talent that they arent ready to give them a full go because of that glimmer of hope of pushing Kobe to the playoffs one last time.

They will lose the pick as well because they have not decided to go through with a direction.

Its only top 3 protected this year. They are bad but they aren't as bad as Portland, Philly, etc.

And Kobe ain't leading that team to the playoffs in the West. Not by a long shot.

alright so we got 11 titles in LA. two back-back and one 3peat. 5 titles in 9 year period and 5 titles in 11 year period. What team do you root for again?

[TheBigVeto]

Barkley is wrong. With a future HoF PG, the Lakers will win it all this year.

[alanLA92]

Barkley seems to love to bully the current era Lakers. Dude's been doing this the past two years. Wonder where was this in his first 13 yrs on TNT. :lol

[dhsilv]

I'd MUCH MUCH rather be a philly fan right now than an LA fan. There's hope in Philly. The lakers basically need Durant to sign with them.

Of course there's more hope for the Sixers. They play in the east. :oldlol:

As if this ringless donut who chooses the Hawks to come out of the east every year knows what a good team looks like:roll: :roll: :roll:

Didn't he say the Hawks aren't very good and got lucky?

He's played on multiple contenders so he knows what a good team looks like.

[Nick Young]

Every year for the past 10 years or so he picks the Hawks as his surprise team out of the east. Donut Chuck is funny but he isn't good at judging talent.

He's played on multiple losing teams and never won a title himself because he couldn't play defense. He doesn't know shit about what a title winning team looks like.

[magmo68]

**** chuck

[AussieG]

Don't worry Chuck, within a few weeks these Lakers fans will be turning their rage onto their own team.

I have to laugh at Charles statement or else I would cry.
