Other Sports Lakers will win the world champioship again. - Page 53

Anyone wanna bet on another team?

I have to say that the Lakers having won 10 straight seem to be better than any of the last championship teams. Not only that but they are relaxed and having fun like none of the other teams ever have. It's weird watching Kobe joking with Shaq and Carl and Payton. The confidence is just oozing out of their pours. It's like they already know they have won it all. The D is playing great. Offensive boards are off the scale. This team has just beginning to gel and they are already unbeatable IMO. The only thing that can stop them now is a major injury or two.

Phil said he would play on 2nd team if he returned.

Well if KG had half the swagger of Zaza they would have.

He's a poser and a primadona. He acts tough thumping his chest and screaming, but he backs down from the 7 foot Russian and then gets tough with he 5ft ref.

Bynum doesnt have to play at the same level. He just has to play well enough so that people do not bring the ball in the paint. He's long he can jump and he's a pretty decent shotblocker. That will be his job if he makes it back.

Ariza will be back for the end of the next series. So thats a plus. The guy is fast and plays great defense.

Awesome, Utah loses. Sure glad I am not betting in the playoffs this year.

Celtics better not let me down tonight. To be the perfect season the Lakers would have to beat them in the finals.

BIG_DADDY · 05-08-2008, 10:36 AM

Kobe MVP, Lakers 6-0 in the playoffs. It's a beautiful thang.

I'm not fully convinced Kobe deserved the award. I mean, just for bitching all off season and then the start of the season about wanting to leave the team, he should be taken out of consideration for being a dickwad.

If they meet in the finals, there is no way the Celtics lose. Period.

Dude, they could barely get past the Hawks. There is no telling what Celtics team shows up. The East sucks ass.

One more thing, did the Celtics buy the NBA along with 3 franchise players? The Celtics are all the NBA network talks about.

Sir, if I knew you and if I had the extra money, and if I was a betting man, I would bet you $1000.00 that you are way wrong.

Anything short of sweeping the playoffs on a championship run would be coming up short for the Celtics considering how much talent they have on that one team.

The Hawks are a much better team than their record showed. They played loose, and with nothing to lose. The Celtics played down to the Hawks on the road for some reason, almost like they were afraid to lose instead of having the instinct to win.

And yes, the Celtics did by a couple TV Networks. I forget which ones though.

Championship calibur teams do NOT play down to their opponents in the play offs. You do that, your going to find your ass losing sooner or later in the play offs.

I am not saying they cant win it all, they got alot of talent on that team, but the Lakers and the Hornets look VERY VERY strong and fast. Both of them teams are very young and can push the ball.
