Laker fan, always have been always will be. yeah i know we lost today, it happens . we will be in the NBA Finals next year anyway lol

word same here. 

Man, you Lakers fans are sure spoiled. Ha ha.  Kobe and Pau on the same team?  That's almost unfair to the rest of the league.  The thing that's really scary is that in my opinion, your team is better than last years dominant team.

Can't you just let my Jazz win a series with you in the playoffs? (-:  You guys are a huge roadblock for everyone I guess.  I'd rather you win it than the Heat though.

I know what you mean lol over the off-season they got a good defensive player in matt barnes and a great 3-point shooter in steve blake and they got theo ratliff who is old now but he could help guys like odom or bynum even gasol with shot-blocking techniques.

Yeah I think it's mostly your size and length on the frontline that really gives us fits.  When you can start 3 legit 7 footers that's tough for anyone to compete with.  That's why imo the biggest threat to you doesn't come from the west but from Boston.  Even though Boston is getting a little old they are still tough both mentally and physically and have the size to compete with LA.  Steve Blake was a huge upgrade at the point as well.  Farmar just didn't cut it for you.  Fisher is too old to play a lot of minutes too.  Do you think you'll touch 68-70 wins this year?

Hell yeah boston gives us trouble lol despite their age they are still a BIG threat especially with rondo starting to bloom more with those assists and ray allen has been on fire as of late and that nba finals last year that was pretty dam hard to win. I also imo still see boston as the #1 team in the east and on the wins thing for the lakers hmm i think its possible but not too sure yet i think 65 wins sounds like a pretty good number
