Even if they do make it to the Finals, (which they aren't) they will lose to Miami. Let's face it, the Lakers don't have a good bench.

Miami doesnt have a good bench either, they got lucky on the finals cuz the bench came out and destroyed, but that was unusual... I think the Lakers will make it very far and could potentially take it all, I mean they really only have a couple seasons to win, otherwise everyone will retire

But they have to go through OKC and their spectacular bench.

Exactly, potentially through the Spurs and their spectacular bench as well lol

Either way, the West is still way stronger and the East is Miami... OKCs bench disappointed me greatly on the finals tho, they really didnt come through, and they were making the difference the whole season, so even tho they have an amazing bench, it all depends on whether they'll show up when things get competitive

I agree with you completely. This might sound strange and many of you will probably disagree with me, but I think too much star power can cause problems and that is exactly what the lakers have.

That is spot on. Remember when Miami first made their own Big 3? There were always problems in the '10-11 season about who would take the big shot in close games, who takes more shots in general, or who is the leader of the team. I believe the same thing will happen to the Lakers. How are you going to get Bryant, Gasol and Howard their 15+ shots per game each? I don't see them being ultimately successful in the long run. In a couple years, Kobe will be gone, most likely Nash will retire as well, and you be left with an aging Gasol and Howard who is going to be the only one in his prime.

yup. Basically Lakers are on a time clock before they go to Rocket style mediocrity. I think they only have 2 or 3 seasons (If Kobe wants to decide to play 1 more year to have 1 last shot at a title) to get a championship. take 1 season away for them not working together. And probably take out another for Howard being Howard, and Kobe being Kobe. I think in the long run it's gonna be a Howard/Kobe shootout every game with Gasol taking every shot he has his hands on. so then it means Kobe and Dwight taking 25+ shots a game and Gasol shooting horrible since he tries to nail every shot he makes. and then Nash would be shooting too if he sees Kobe or Dwight having a bad day which will make it even more miserable.


So yeah it'll be chaos the first season. Idk if they can even overtake the thunder in the Conference finals. I think THunder is gonna get it together and get the lakers, and then rematch with the heat and lose to the heat again
