Lakers' defensive rating last year without Dwight on the court was 110.5 which would've been 3rd worst in the league. It's gonna be 82 games of that or worse.

while i dont have the Lakers that high, been saying they will make the playoffs no problem and this was after the day Dwight left.
if everyone is healthy i think they should be a fairly decent team.

I think John Wall will have a breakout year.

I think the Lakers can finish ahead of the Rockets and/or the Warriors. We're not sure how the chemistry will work out with the Rockets and the Warriors have three injury prone guys in the starting line up so if the Lakers can stay healthy and find their rhythm early in the season they should be good for the 5 seed.

Don't eem begin to see what's funny.
You guys are right. The defensive side of the ball will be a struggle. But if they are healthy, they'll be potent enough to offset that to a degree. (And by degree, I mean they can offset that to get a fifth place finish in the conference)

So I just did my homework on jrue, I never checked for him much, but son is cold. He's like pg version of James harden. The bottom half of my top 10 pgs are definitely written in pencil, it could change at any given time: jrue, kyrie, conley, curry, Lillard is where it stands now. I think.

The Warriors and Grizzlies will slaughter the Lakers. The Lakers aren't even better than the Pelicans, Blazers and Wolves. That team is really, really bad. Kobe will win them some games on his own but I don't think it's gonna be enough for them to make the playoffs.

To be real, kobe is my favorite player and all, but I wouldn't be totally upset if he joined the nets for one season... And you know why.

at the Lakers competing with the Warriors and Grizzlies.They're going to be a mess this season. They'll be lucky to finish tenth in the conference.

Rck, where art thou?
And the Lakers will finish ahead of the Rockets and Warriors??? Are you talking about your 2K1 simulator?

Ironically, the Rockets probably shouldn't have traded Patterson mid-season. He would have fit in nicely next to Howard. But then again, they needed to clear the $3 million owed to Patterson to sign Howard.

if I turn on the tv and see dwight doing one of his corny impersonations, singing, making corny *** jokes, or smiling and laughing I already know houston will never go anywhere with him. it seriously boggles my mind how corny this guy is. I see mchale losing his mind somewhere around the all star game. but then again mchale and most of houston's roster are cornballs so maybe it will work.
on paper the spurs roster is not impressive
