  • There is a guy by the name of Lebron James who is the best basketball player on the planet. Who just won his first championship, and got a huge burden off his back. He is playing the best basketball in the NBA. And he disagrees with this thread. And also The Heat's upgrades this off season were the richer getting richer. Lakers wont win the ship.

  • While the dude above me is licking Ledouche's cock, Howard in the paint will pose issues for the Heat offense and LeDouche playing near the basket.

    Add in Nash, and the Lakers are significantly better.

    Ray Allen is old, his addition isn't much.

  • So the Nash addition is a good one but Allen isn't because he is old? You do realize Nash is like 39 right he doesn't even play a lot of minutes these days. The lakers will face the same thing the heat did their first season which is a really really below talent bench. Plus I don see Howard signing an extension with a 35 year old Kobe and 39 year old Nash. OH and OKC matches up pretty good with the lakers Ibaka and Perkins can detain Howard.

    Allen sucked last year. He's coming off the bench and needs a pg to create him a shot (Or LBJ).

    Nash is a drastic improvement over what they had last year, and Howard is the best center in the league whern healthy.

    The Lakers got a lot better...

    Allen was having his best shooting year until he got hurt (played the rest of the way with bone spurs) and this is the perfect place for him if he cant create his own shot lol all he has to do is stand out their and wait for one of the best passers in the game to find him.

    Your right the Lakers did get a lot better but again the heats bench in its first year was better than this current lakers bench and they were terrible.

    Kobe is the 2nd best player on the planet and Howard is probably the 3rd best. Lebron is the best, Wade is probably 8-10th best ---advantage Lakers.

  • The NBA is a league with 3 - 4 teams and the rest are just schedule fillers.

    We still aren't past the Ledouche stuff? I agree this is huge for the Lakeshow but the Heat are still favorites in my opinion. Kobe is a great player top 10 in the league for sure but his game has definitely changed, and isn't quite as dynamic as he used to be. Has everyone already forgot how lost the Heat were last year, Although Kobe is a much greater leader than Wade was, they are still going to go through the same growing pains that the Heat had to go through. Ray is old, and it's debatable how much his addition really will help the team. The Heat already have 3 or 4 guys that play the same style that Allen plays, We'll see, just glad the Dwight drama is over.

    You took Lebron leaving Cleveland that personal? It's not that serious. Name a player who's better, or playing better than Lebron right now? I wont hold my breath while you think of a player because there isnt one. So while you're throwing out insults because I can see objectivily that The Miami Heat are still the team to beat, you are so bitter that someone can appreciate the Talent that Lebron James has.

    5th grade insults from you aside, while you say LA is better, who is going to help gel this talented team (LA)? Coach Mike Brown? LOL. Yes, he has a very serious resume for handling talented teams.

    While Dhoward is an upgrade on the defensive end of the floor, he does not pose a bigger threat than Bynum on the offensive end. And you do realize that Pau and Bynum was a good force down low, but Kobe is too big of a shoot first player to realize he could of used both those big men to help win a 6th championship.

    I dont put Kobe that high. He wont use his teammates in a manner that will help them win games. Kobe is not close to a defender he was in his prime, and as far as the 2nd best player in the league, I'll give that nod to KD, the team who I see giving LA more than they can handle again next year in the WCF.

  • i don't know, the Jamison addition could also really help the Lakers. What I do know is that the Orlando Magic franchise is a joke of an organization. They let Shaq go to the Lakers, and now they get rid of Dwight Howard without making the Lakers get rid of Gasol. terrible negotiators.

  • I will post next June WHEN the Lakers win. It is the best franchise in sports as they average making the finals like once every 2.7 years. It's over barring injuries. They have four players better than the Heat' s idiot center.

    I agree about the Magic Organization being one of the worst in sports. It truly would be frustrating to be a fan of that team.

    Hey bible beating newbie, where did I say the Lakers would win the championship? Did god teach you to read, or are you still praying on it?

    I said the lakers are significantly better...they are with the additions compared to their team last year. Howard is an upgrade offensively and defensively assuming he's healthy.

    The heat are not significantly improved. Wade is getting older and the Allen addition isn't a game changer.

    Apparently you're a LeDouche fan. Good for you; you've bought the espin/Nike rehabilitation program. He quit in Cleveland and won a championship in a watered down league while teaming with two other top ten players.

    He's a hell of a guy- enjoy cheering for him.

    I've been past it, but I don't have to like, cheer or compliment him.

    He quit here, that's the memory we have of him. It is what it is.

    You can have espin tell you how to worship him, I'm under no such obligation.

    The direction of this league is beyond disappointing. I can't see how the current business model is sustainable over time. Eventually people will get fed up with these players and their antics. If not, you'll have 4 good teams and the rest will be feeder programs.

    I would like to gorilla whip David Stern through a plate glass window. Im guessing that, there are more people that feel the same way. All you have to do is listen to him walking on stage at the Draft. The NBA is out of control.

    hahahahaha, Any Cavs fan would debunk this right away, Jamison is worthless. He filled the stat sheet decently when Cle. has no talent, but when he's on the same floor as kobe, dwight, pau, and nash, he's not going to be anything more than a glorified spot up shooter, at which he is marginal at best.

    I agree with everything you say here, I just think it's unneccessary to call him names anymore, I went through my LeBron bashing stage as well, and it's healthy to. He took a city hostage and stabbed them in the back. Cleveland will never forget, and maybe shouldn't even forgive that, but it's time to move on and support the guys we have now. The NBA has always been a 4 team league but it is at an all time disaster level now. If it keeps going on at this level the NBA won't be around anymore because whether they want to admit it or not the small market teams are what keeps the league afloat. Nobody wants to watch a league where there are only 4 competitive teams.

    LBJ is DEAD to me. He never was, is not, and never will be. DEAD!!!!!!!! I love Dan Gilbert. I feel that he is a Blue Collar type of guy with a ton of money. He was at the Finals in a retro Cavs T-shirt. Not a suit. A RETRO CAVS T. I support what they are doing and the direction that they are heading. Dan Gilbert is a guy that does not except mediocrity. I wont call LBJ names anymore, but if he is in the road, he will be a HOOD ORNAMENT.

    Espin continually day after day after day after day during the season tells people how they react to him and how, Cleveland should act. I want to punch Mike Wilboun in the face for his continually attacks on this city in relation to that asshole. I'd he'd just go away, no one here would talk about him. Y

    Why is Cleveland continually brought up with him even though he left? Why does he Bring cleveland up every chance he gets?

    I don't like the guy; I was in the minority who didn't like him when he was in Cleveland ( great player, asshole person).

    In respect to the cavs, I go to the games and cheer them. I like the direction they're proceeding and aam excited for the future.

    As for the Douche bag, that's what he is.
