Dude. There is no bench. You think 36 year old Jamison is gonna do s**t? Cuz hes way past his prime, and steve blake is terrible. Lakers aint got s**t behind their starters.
I like how they are the only two players you mentioned.
Continue to prove how moronic you are.
Jordan Hill - young big man, a bust if he doesnt come up big. and due to dwight hogging minutes, i doubt it
Earl Clark - who?
Chris Duhon - i thought he retired already
Robert Sacre - last pick of the draft. wont be seeing the court cause of hill and dwight
Jodie Meeks - didnt exceed expectations on a Philly team weak on shooting guards. what makes you think hell be doing it backing up kobe?
Devin Ebanks - signed to fill up the roster
Steve Blake - well at least you have a 3 point shooter
Matt Barnes - did he improve his game in jail over the summer?
Darius Johnson-Odom - Steve Nash and Steve Blake. Wont be seeing time on court.
Andrew Goudelock - refer to Johnson-Odom
Troy Murphy - big white guy only good for shooting, no good for defense.
Antawn Jamison - your best player on the bench is losing gas on the tank.
I did the research for him. And i can still say that especially defensively, the Lakers have NO bench.
Miami Heat = 3rd NBA Title
LeBron James = 4th MVP
You're a dumbass if you think Miami even has a chance this year.
3 Time NBA Champion, 6 time all star, fully healthy for next year, Dwyane Wade. And he isnt even the best player on the team. We also have 4 time MVP and the best player in the world, 4 time all star big man who covered the softest 7 footer in the league in the lakers perfectly, the NBAs all time 3 Point shooter, and a bench that surpasses the Lakers bench by a landslide
And they don't even have a slight chance?
If Miami has no chance, then LA isnt even in the same league.
LAL is in the West. Therefore they are automatically in a tougher league. West > East, by a longshot.
Lakers have to play teams like Denver (underrated severely), Oklahoma City, San Antonio, LAC (also underrated), Memphis (sleeper team), Hornets (have a shot at the playoffs if all of their talent can come together and stay healthy), Phoenix, Portland (don't underestimate Portland; they took Phoenix to a 7 game series with an injury-depleted roster and Phoenix had an easier time with San Antonio!), an underrated Houston team if all of their talent comes together, a new look Mavericks team that can easily dominate, a Sacramento team that can make some noise if all of the team's talent comes together on the court, and a Golden State team that can do the same thing given the chance. And you're saying that Miami even has competition?
Ha... Miami took a loss against New York, I don't want to hear your s**t. You guys should have swept them easily.
Case closed, West > East by a mile. The East it's pretty much predetermined who makes the playoffs, the West, well, it can go any way there is. In 2009 the First and Eighth seed were only 7 games apart.
I won't argue with the fact that the West is the tougher league, i totally agree, and those teams all do have chances. but that doesnt mean the East hasn't gotten better.
Miami are the kings of the East and can win in the Finals with hard work and good defense. But then theres
Indiana, same young team getting better this year who challenged Miami,
Boston, who drafted two real good big men and have Jeff Green coming back this year while signing Terry and KG back,
Bynum is in a Philadelphia team that had it all except a big man anchoring the post, lost Iggy, but have lots of young pieces and shooters (Wright, Young, Turner, Holiday etc.).
Star-Studded Brooklyn with Deron, Joe Johnson, Defensive leader Gerald Wallace and Brook Lopez is coming back for them.
New York to me downgraded, but Amare is coming back strong after a hard working summer, Melo is still Melo, they have the defensive player of the year, and Jason Kidd is a playmaker and solid on all three offensive assets. Plus Iman Shumpert is coming back from that ACL pretty soon. NY won last year because of Wade's poor decisionmaking and cause Melo was on his prime that game.
Not even gonna include Chicago in the list. But they can surprise.
Milwaukee has Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, two amazing offensive players, along with good young plauyers like John Henson and Tobias Harris.
Even Washington has a more mature John Wall, rookie Bradley Beal, Trevor Ariza, and a post with Nene and Emeka Okafor.
So the West is great, but the East doesn't suck. And this isnt even the argument. My argument from the beginning was that the Heat have a solid chance to repeat the title this year.
Miami vs. OKC is gonna be a great 2013 matchup
