if Bynum stays healthy..

there's nothing stopping the 3peat

agreed?

[wakencdukest]

the chances definitely go up

[Stuckey]

if i could bet half my bankroll on the lakers winning i probably would do it if i was guaranteed bynum would play every game

[bl2k8]

It will be the first time in the Kobe/Gasol era that they've had a fully healthy team, crazy

[Harion]

so we're now preparing the excuses eh?

[Colby Brian]

lakers are gonna 3peat most likely if everyone stays healthy, and they kinda have a future to because bynums only 23, so they can still be a title contender for the next 2-3 years if bynum developes right

just a speculating on a scenario

I would say if all of the Lakers' key players stay healthy, they will probably 3-peat. The biggest threats to the 3-peat are in the East.

yeah but is it even possible imagining the celtics bulls or heat beating the lakers? they would have to go on a magical hot streak of games, something like '06 with dwhistle

Quoted for truth. Remember the Lakers weakness is transition defense.

Yea... the only way to beat them is to cause a lot of turnovers and hope for long rebounds. Outside of Boston, everyone else struggles with LA's slow tempo.
Most of the reason the Lakers allow so few points is because they slow it down so much... not really because they are good defensively. Bynum is beasting right now tho and making them good defensively which is why teams are struggling to score 90.

[TennesseeFan]

Thats a pretty fair bet.

Spurs would have something to say about it, but yeah, I think they would be the favorite to get out of the West. No guarantee they beat the Celtics though.
