you prefer soccer?? come play with me please..hehe..we do have alot of rising stars..in terms of a team,, i still like the Lakers and the Cavs...if the season play out right, for example---no injuries to the players, they will for sure meet in the Finals..i still love watchin Dwade play..all day any time of the day,,i'll put what i'm doin to the side and watch Dwade..Celts and Magics can contend in the East, the nuggets can give the Lakers a long series..but believe me,,,,Carmelo is a soft player so his whole teammates follow in his footsteps..the problem is that they are the only team in the West that can atleast play with the Lakers..and trust me,,,John Wall will be the number one draft pick...and of course,,,he'll be heading to New Jersey...what a freaken team...they suck big time...
Lakers will take the Finals!! Dont matter if Cavs beat em in all regular season meetings..The Playoffs is a diffrent story. Theres more Pressure and more Stepping up taking place. Lakers excel when in comes to Pressure and stepping up...Not only do they rank number five in offensive play..They rank 9th in the defensive end. Put dat together and you have an elite team.
Cavs have their excellent defense but have only Lebron to make the scores...They rank over the 30 mark in the offensive end....It all comes down to Kobe's Health.
Lakers defensive end has improved alot from last season-With the addition of Ron Artest..And like Trevor ariza's brilliance on defense...Ron artest is also a scorer.
Lakers will finish strong in battle of the West..and eventually win the CHampionship..
Yes, I know he gets cocky at times, but you gotta admit. He's one heck of a player! His intelligence on the game just blows the court. Lakers win last season was beautiful. Although, I do believe it's time to put Derek Fisher on the bench and get a better point guard.
Best Point Guard: Chris Paul Best Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant Best Power Forward: Kevin Garnett Best Small Foward:Lebron James Best Center: Dwight Howard
These are my favorite players, even tho I think Steve Nash and Ginobili are pretty awesome as well. :) Anyone care to argue?
Yes, Lebron is a great player. But let me ask you who made it to the finals last season? Because from what I recall it was all Kobe and Howard, ain't nobody saw James on the court. I'm just telling you how it is. Plus, in case you haven't noticed. Lebron has a black ball hoggin behind as well! haha.
96941.. and 2 seasons before that?? i didn't see Kobe and Howard...
c'mon guys.. i mean.. there can not be a repeat with Kobe and the lakers this year... admit it.. there are better teams this year than the lakers..
Cavs, Boston, Magic, Spurs...
but gotta give it to the Young one.. LeBron James... he just recorded 40+ pts last game... they're on a winning streak.. lakers were on a losing streak.. lol
i know the intensity of the playoffs is different from the regular season.. but.. c'mon... the games they had this season they played it like elimination games because they're rivals on the court now.. they battling for the top spot..
Myspacer...You look at the lakers roster..They have more to Boast then the CAVS..What do the cavs have...Just LBJ! Thats it..! Dont expect much from Shaq..Hes old and fat!..No offense Shaq, but you need to retire... The Cavs are inexperienced and thier run will be short lived...We shall see the lakers Dominate in the Playoffs...
Shaq vs Bynum- Andrew may be young but hes alot faster then Shaq.. Kobe Vs A.Parker- Parker will be running around in circles... Fisher Vs D. Gibson Gibson Who? Gasol vs. Hickson A 6'9 on a 7 footer? lol! Artest Vs. Lebron Artest is a gud defender
Lakers Bench Vs. Cavs Bench...Lakers have Brown, Odom and Jordan Farmer and Walton...Great Key Players...Cavs..have a bunch of Unknowns...
Defense...goes to Cavs Offense goes to lakers.. Experience goes to Lakers Bench Goes to Lakers Rebounding goes to Lakers MVP-KOBE!!!!
wow POW, you are serious about your lakers huh?? thanks for taking the time to type your point across..very informative. and though i agree about the experienced players, I just can't get on the kobe bandwagon. not gonna knock down the lakers, they used to be my faves a while back (prior to kobe..lol)..now i will stick to my spurs. and please..don't remind me that they lost a few days ago. lol
Kawie... Hey long time my gewd fewn...what happened?...did u find ureself a new pet poodle? awwww thats no fair...:(...lol! I think the Lakers will take this one as well...But my Team has always been Miami Heat...Their still young so...it will take time for my Team to develope...
96941, The Lakers Will take the crown this year.. but it will not be as easy as last season..Myspacer is right about one thing...There are more additions of improveing teams this year..Including Myspacers Cavs...and this will make the Lakers Journey into the finals a Long and ardious journey...Good luck Kobe and Get better...you need it...
KAWIE...SOO SORRY...I MEANT NO HARM... JUST WASNT SPURS DAY THAT GAME.... IF ITS ANY COMFORT TO YOU...TONY PARKER WAS EXPLOSIVE IN THE GAME..THE HIGHEST SCORER IN THE GAME...BUT SAN ANTONIO WAS PLAGUED WITH FOUL TROUBLE....SAN ANTONIO IS A GOOD TEAM...INFACT ONE OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS THIS YEAR....
SAVIOR..MAGIC IS A GOOD TEAM..BUT IS STILL NOT STABLE ENOUGH..THEY HAVE A CHANCE FOR A REMATCH AGAINST THE LAKERS BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON OTHER PLAYERS TAKEING KEY ROLES IN THE GAME...D-HOWARD MAY BE THE SUPERMAN OF THE NBA...BUT HES STILL HUMAN...
no thanks, but u should develop your brain cells, cus, "maybe grower," has got to be the dumbest end phrase i have ever heard! so yea drink up that milk and maybe it'll help you more than me...
Hey Virtue.. Perhaps some of your brain cells needs to be replaced..Becuase nobody asked for your opinion when you said Micros suck in basketball because thier short.I dont know...where in this thread was there mention about SHORT MICRONESAINS but buddy i think ur in the wrong thread.....Im 6 foot...and im a micro..that definitly doesnt prove your claim...lol!
Just for your info guys-The Lakers Won for the third time in a game playing without Kobe and Bynum..Obliterating the Utah Jazz..Final Score 96-81
Pau Gasol -22 points 19 rebs. 5 blks. 4 asts. Lamar Odom -25 points 11 rebs. 2 blks. 3stls. 3 asts. Jordan Farmer -18 points 4 from beyond the arc. Shannon Brown -11points 3 rebs. 4 asts
The Lakers used its Bigger men to control the boards..While taking accurate attacks from beyond the arch and in the paint.Gasol and Odom controlled the lanes forceing the Utah Jazz to take outside shots.***Pau Gasol-Lamar Odom-and Jordan Farmer were key role players in the win...
Agian without Kobe and Bynum..*maybe this is a good thing..Now the rest of the Players on the roster are finally feeling more dependent as a team aside from always looking towards kobe...Good excercise before the Finals...!! Gooo Lakers!!
firstly, this is the INTERNET, in case you didnt know, i CAN post any damn thing i like, whether or not someone asked my opinion. see how Freedom of press/speech can be interpreted in different ways, i am so in love with the constitution..ok anyways, whether or not Kobe and Bynum sit that game out, those other player like PAu, Lamar and i-forgot-the-rest were exceptional players who were born to play ball-its in their blood. and plus the Utah JAzz is pretty much a shitty team, the Lakers could have beat them blindfolded!
First of all...Not Firstly...You sound like a child. :) Yes, you have the power to say any damn thing you please..Just as i have every right to have my views about you. Yes i think..your pretty much disturbed for that matter to just up and out of no where place your insignificant comments...funny if i might add. I mean come on!.... is it not wierd to be talking about somthing else and then have you pop out of nowhere talking about something else? Its like you asking for a cheesburger and they give you roast pig...lol! Your wrong about the Utah Jazz...They were on a 9 game winning streek and a very formidable opponent for the Lakers. What more could you expect from Carlos Boozer (allstar) Deron williams (allstar) and Ronnie Brewer (One of the best defensive players to date) Kyle Krover (3 point Specialist) and Andrei Kirelienko...So Shitty team? I think not...Never underestimate the Utah Jazz...
so much hostility dude. chill out! haha. you crack us up. thanks for the entertainment, but uh can we get back to the topic. LA will bring its game! :)
i m gonna leave this one for you! you can continue on imagining how yourself and other micro will eventually end up in the NBA, let along be as competitive as the LAkers or Jazz! Good luck pal. Honestly, i pray for you.
BTW, i dont care if the JAzz have those players you proudly name! Quite frankly, they SUCK...try do a Google search on the Utah Jazz, you'll be surprised on how different sources tell the exact same thing that Jazz is pretty much f$%#&* throughout history and also to this very day!
AGIAN WITH THE STUPIDITY VIRTUE?..*CHUCKLES* OKAY BRO' FOR REALS NOW I BELIEVE YOUR LOST. LOL!..AGAIN, WHEN DID THE THREAD START TALKING ABOUT WE MICROS GOING AFTER THE NBA DRAFT? PRAY ALL YOU WANT MY FRIEND...BECAUSE IN TRUTH...WE DONT KNOW FOR SURE IF YOUR OF SOUND MIND...OR LEGALLY CONSIDERED SANE...TALK ABOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER....HEHEHEH! FO' REALS YOU CRACK ME UP....
ILL LEAVE YOUR OPINIONS OF THE JAZZ FOR YOU TO JUDGE...I CAN GIVE YOU THAT MUCH...BUT TO HELP YOU ON YOUR FIRST PARAGRAPH...I BELEIVE PSYCHIATRIC EVALUTAION WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU...SEE YA VIRTUE...
HEHEHEH..LOL@ VIRTUE.. NO VIRTUE- ITS NOT *CHUUKLES* ITS *CHUCKLES* WHICH SCHOOL THEY TEACH YA THAT ONE? HAHAHAHAHAH! VIRTUE-WHATS WRONG DID I BLOW A FUSE? HEHEHEH! AWWWW COME ON MAN- NO NEED TO GET PERSONAL HEA...IM MERELY TRYING TO CLARIFY YOUR SITUATION. ON THE OTHER HAND, AT LEAST YOUR MORE ACCUSTOMED TO THE MENTAL DISORDER THAT YOU HAVE...YAH? DONT FRET, BIPOLAR DISORDER IS CURABLE JUST TAKE ALOT OF MOOD PILLS KEEP VISITING THE LOCAL PSYCOLOGIST AND YOU WILL BE BETTER IN NO TIME...AFTERWARDS YOU CAN COME BACK AND WE TALK SENSIBLY ABOUT WHAT THIS TOPIC REALLY IS ABOUT...LOL!
