Other Sports Lakers will win the world champioship again. - Page 50

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.

They could always put Bynum in with the 2nd and 3rd teams so he doesn't affect the 1st team chemistry.

Then again, if they put Bynum in, they'll just sit Rad, and shift Pau and Lamar down a position. Aside from that steal and dunk last game, what really has Rad done in the last few games to make him irreplaceable?

He has averaged 8.4 points this season; and in his last three games he scored 2 points, 2 points, and 14 points (averaging 6 points over that stretch). He played no less than 23 minutes in each of those games. Is there anyone who thinks Bynum (regardless of health) couldn't duplicate that?

I rather them move Rad to Small Forward and completely take out Luke Waltons worthless ass. At least when Rad is on, he's on and he can fire from downtown. WHen Luke has the ball i just cringe everytime.

If and when Bynum does come back, he's not going to start thats for sure.

I'm with you on Walton. I think Phil has him like 3rd string now. I believe the plan is when Bynum gets back, Gasol moves to PF, and Odom slides down to SF.

Walton continues to ride the bench as he should. <<< A couple weeks ago I watched the bum miss SIX layups.

I want him back BIG TIME!!!

I think the problem with Luke is he tries to ball-handle and put moves on too much! He shouldn't be dribbling so goddamn often! He's a good passer and has a reliable shot. Know you're roll!

BTW, I'm seriously doubting now that Bynum OR Ariza will be back anytime this season. Ariza's foot is still fractured. Oh well. On the bright side, if we focus on FA retention, the Lakers will be even better next year!

Local sports talk radio here in PHX is looking forward to a Lakers-Suns match up to see Kobe vs. Shaq in a hate match.
I say the Suns gotta' get by the Spurs first, which I think they can do but you never take Mr. Duncan & Co. lightly.

LA should sweep Mello & AI but those Nuggets play with a lot of heart and can sometimes be pesky.

The Butt Nuggets could win one or maybe even two if they have really scorching hot shooting nights. I don't think they will win any though.

One down 3 to go. Sure hope Bynum makes it back. They are talking about him possibly making it back for the Western Conference Finals if he makes it back at all.

The Lakers don't don't need Bynum this year. Let him get healthy and next year they will be back even better.

Certainly makes resigning him a cheaper proposition.

2 Down and 2 to go. Butt Nuggets are going down like Denver Queef on prom night. Couldn't happen to a better bunch of guys out there in dog killing country.

Funny to see them bitching about the officiating. Officials were calling any blocked shot a foul when they drove to the hoop. They just wanted to keep shooting the long ball though. Thanks god for that.
