I know this is just a "what if" and the Lakers are definitely a championship team. No doubt they'll be a force in the west for a good while. Kobe, Gasol, and Odom are still pretty young and Bynun is just developing, but with the way we played the Lakers you have to wonder. If Yao Ming hadn't went down, I felt that there was a very good chance( not a certainty) that we would've been the champs had we got past the Lakers. You could argue that the Lakers didn't play to their potential in games 4 and 6 knowing that Yao was not there, but that was the Rockets' defense at work forcing Kobe into bad shots and Aaron Brooks takin charge at the offensive end. Scola & Landry acting like beasts inside. We really could've used Yao Ming in game 7 where we just couldn't get any offense going outside the key and settling for jump shots. That was in part to the Lakers' defense in that game, knowing they didn't have to focus in on that big guy in the middle.

IF in fact we'd gotten by the Lakers in that game, I think that we would've taken Denver in six games and Orlando pretty easily. Both them teams would't had had an answer for Yao Ming and we've shown we domintated those team in the past two years (Rockets were 5-1 vs. Nuggets/Magic this year). It's my opinion that if Yao hadn't went down in game 3, we would've been NBA Champs.

No sir
Yao cannot deal with frontig and double teaming
we don't have strong scorers and passers
so even in our best, LA would've beat us
