You obviously don't watch enough "Faker" games if you haven't heard that Amare has problems scoring over Bynum standing still with his arms up,...
LOL at Lopez coming back after a month off and being expected to do anything. We saw Kirilenko really kick ass from his layoff this year and...
If they keep Dud and Hill on Kobe 1:1 this series, they're in trouble. Defend Gasol and Odom? OK. Let Steve Nash do his thang? OK. This...
Now they just gotta find a way to match LA's skill and they're set.
They do shoot a lot of 3s when they are prevented from making inside passes. Suns should and probably would try to copy the Thunder and send...
It goes beyond height. Fesenko has height. Lakers have skilled height. The skilled height thing almost makes it crazily overlooked that Kobe is...
Vince would be defended by Artest w/ Barnes on Kobe, most likely. At least for the most part of the series. Howard is a killer, but Bynum and...
I'm a Laker fan. Answer to this one is Cleveland, unequivocally. LA doesn't match up well with them and they have a horde of bench scrubs who...
Blair is the most glaring matchup problem for the Lakers. Pau is actually a suitable man-to-man matchup for Duncan so that they don't have to...
The last time they won there in a game that Kobe played in was 10 months before 9/11. They're 2 and 20+ there since then, including 7 playoff gms.
I never said anything about him being GOAT. Him being GOAT or not is irrelevant. I'm saying fans that dislike him want to pretend he wasn't a...
The refs have no power to stop a play due to injury. The teammate has to create a stoppage.
If he didn't get into that 20 yr small ball phase w/ GS, he would've been remembered well for what he accomplished in MIL. They were a game or 2...
Gasol being the guy that had more than half the non-Laker fans saying things like, "Hm, he's 0-12 in the playoffs, what's he ever done?" After he...
Kobe is about the only player I can think of that opposing fans don't want to credit for titles because of his teammates. Giving him credit for...
Phx isn't physical, teams like that do the Lakers a favor. OKC are newbies against the defending champs. It would be a suprise if they won 1,...
Spurs were done 2 yrs ago. LA in 5, tops, with or without Bynum. Age and mileage goes forward, not backward.
Bynum averaged about 6 and 4 in the playoffs last year, and seemingly 4 fouls. I dare say he wasn't a difference maker.
Portland has lost 8 of 9 there, last win was in the pre-Gasol days.
