http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=EastOffseasonPredictionsLOL not exactly but they predict 55 games which seems accurate. I agree with Laker ESPN bandwagon for once!
Posey had great defense in the regular season but offensively what can he do besides stand behind the arc in the corner?
We will miss posey in the playoffs BIG time, but I'd take a healthy Tony Allen, D Miles, JR, and Walker over him for a 82-game season 10 times out of 10
Darius Miles wants to ressurect his career. Tony Allen wants to redeem himself coming off of acl surgery. Bill Walker could have stayed in college to be higher prospect but he wants to play in the NBA now. JR Giddens spent 5 years in college and wants to get rid of his reputation. POB doesn't want to be known as a bust.
One of these 5 guys will help the Celtics next year. If not the Celtics would then have the worst luck in the NBA!
Espn used "Lakers bench mob" to support the Lakers for being first in the west LOL. Is this the "bench mob" of Sasha, Vlad, Farmar, Walton, and Ariza that gave up 131 points.
From an offensive + DEFENSIVE standpoint-
I say JR Giddens, Walker, Powe, and House>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lakers bench alltogether
Lamar Odom is only good because he's 6'11 with quickness and ball handling. On the fastbreak he's unstoppable and then mark jackson and Van Gundy claim how versatile Lamar is. Hell naw!
When you put a defender between Lamar and the basket he's just an average player and he has no idea what he's doing.
A lot of players on the lakers are like Lamar odom!
Kobe is the only guard or small forawrd on the lakers that can break down a half-court defense without being open from double teams
Kobe has become a legend having scoring outbursts against poor defensive teams.
Kobe shot 38% vs the Pistons in the 04 finals and 40% in the 08 finals.
WOuld Bird, Jordan, or Magic shoot that poorly in the finals Hell naw!!!!!! Larry Bird at 35 years old wouldn't even shoot that bad!
