I never said that. I was responding to another poster about how the Mavericks were beating the Lakers at the time. You need to read first before you respond.
When you watch the mavs v lakers, you realize how unatheletic and slow footed the rox are. I mean green,odom,ariza and those guys made "athelete " plays. The ability to be out of position or a play and use the size,length, and quickness to get back in the play is amazing. I mean Ariza has always been a great athelete who can defend, yet for yrs the rox stayed away from guys like that. That's going to be a hard team to beat.
An unatheletic and slow footed Celtics owns them last year. The Lakers Starter did not good vs Denver, Clippers, Houston and Dallas starters the bench did and did it with speed and a lot of Fast breaks. The problem in the playoff starters play 40+ minutes and it always comes down to a half court game. Lakers are build to dominate the regular season not so much the playoff, they are built like the past Suns or the previous Mavericks. They are pretty good top 5 team in all NBA, but once playoff comes around they will be just as beatable like any other good team, just as the Rockets, Utah, NO, Celtics, etc. No more no less.
That's what I was thinking when I created this thread: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=156933
The Celtics are not nearly as slow and unathletic as us, especially our starting 5 compared to their's. Rondo > Alston Allen > McGrady Pierce = Artest/Battier KG > Scola Perkins and the rest of the NBA > Yao
