People are way to quick to call Lakers champs... Lakers will still have trouble with the tougher frontcourts and the quicker backcourts and we still don't know whether they will be able to function with Pau, Odom, Artest, Kobe and Bynum wanting the ball as much as they will...

With the exception of Artest being new, whats different at this point? They've been doing fine.

Just thinking about a healthy Bynum with this squad is scary.

Just pointing out that Artest will most likely want the ball more than Ariza did and we all know Bynum wants to try out all the stuff he learns in practice. Don't get me wrong though i think this team will do well (Injury Free) but i just wanted to highlight some possible problems with a team everyone seems to think is perfect.

Though i agree that the amount of possessions shouldn't become a problem unless they're losing...

Nah you right. Im pretty sure Bynum will come back more healty then last year and Pau has been "Less Soft" so Front court will be alright but Back court on their PG is a problem but if Brown has been working hard over this summer that should not be a problem.

Buckle up fellas' looks like were in for another 3 Peat

Stop jumping the shark guys...season has not even started yet.

I think this year will depend on...

1. Health
2. Run Run filling in Ariza's shoes
3. Young guys off the bench stepping up (Farmar, Sasha, Powell, Brown, Luke and Ammo)
4. Defense as always
5. Kobe, Pau, Odom, Fisher, Bynum and Run Run doing their thangy thing thing...

I think we still have the best starting five and best depth in the NBA period. Let's hope for the best...hard work and a lil bit of luck will bring that ship back to LA for the second year in a row no doubt.

Rondo>>>>>>>>>>>>Fisher
Allen<<<<<Kobe
Pierce>>>>>>>>>>>Artest
KG>>>>>>>>>>Gasol
Perkins=Bynum

House, Daniels, Sheed>>>Odom, Brown, Vujacic

its close than you think to be honest, i'll agree with rondo & fish
but kobe is way better than allen (duh)

while pierce is better offensively, i think they balance out a little bit because of ron's defense (props for finals mvp on p.p)

to be honest k.g. is just a little bit than gasol, gasol has been a solid solid (offensively & defensively clutch)

sad to say i'll take perkins over bynum right now

house=brown, brown is clutch and an excellent defender & shooter

Odom>sheed, sheed is living off rep now he's semi-washed up

daniels>sasha, sasha had a really bad yea, probably cause he got paid & hurt.

Sasha hurt? Hurt of what? Most people who are "good" don't need a whole year to recover their skill. I think Sasha just isn't really a good and is overrated and overpaid.
