65 wins last year with a shitty defense and bynum out half the year? enter artest to improve the defense? please...you can pencil us in for 70 wins WITH a shot at that bulls record.

1. Bynum gets hurt again

2. Bynum is balling but is mad he's not averaging 20 ppg.

3. PJ decides to quit in the middle of the season.

4. PJ doesn't have the energy to keep Ron Ron in check.

5. Kobe and Artest have an alpha dog competition that messes up the chemistry.

6. Odom reverts to form with the security of a long term contract.

>1. Bynum gets hurt again

either of those could happen

i dont think any of those will happen. phil says he feels great and ron seems like he just wants that ring. i dont think he will do anything majorly destructive. i think his toughness will rub off on the team and he will concede to kobe as long as they are winning

>6. Odom reverts to form with the security of a long term
>contract.

oh odom will disappoint no doubt but the lakers dont need him to show up everynight.

Not saying I agree with 70 wins, but c'mon.

>1. Bynum gets hurt again

3rd year in a row? i doubt it

>2. Bynum is balling but is mad he's not averaging 20 ppg.

lol so? what, he goes Shaq on us and refuses to rebound or defend because he's not touching the ball every time? the offense doesn't run through him, he knows that and phil damn sure knows that and unlike the dynasty years any lack of effort by his big man and phil can actually afford to bench him.

your third point isn't even worth a reply.

>
>4. PJ doesn't have the energy to keep Ron Ron in check.

ron will pretty much keep himself in check, he's already sacrificed dollars and shots to come to LA to play on a stacked team when he could have gotten more money along with more scoring opportunites in houston, especially next season with yao out.

>
>5. Kobe and Artest have an alpha dog competition that messes
>up the chemistry.

lol, riiiight, artest secretly thinks this should be his team...

>
>6. Odom reverts to form with the security of a long term
>contract.

reverts to what form? he'll always be inconsistent, whether he's in a contract year or locked up long term.

it's a simple 5 game improvement.

ok.

i'll go on record and cosign this post.

if they stay focused every game and healthy they got a shot at 72.

so i'll settle for 70 wins.

This is of course assuming health for your players, naturally... but assuming all are well, where do the losses come from?

boston and orlando will take one from us. so will chris paul and co. as usual utah will get all the calls at home and take one. denver will also get one. then of course we'll come out and give 40% effort and let OKC, charlotte, the kings and indiana each steal a game.

that team's a hot mess

they be kickin the Lakeshow's @ss in Portland..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<---- NOPE!!! CAN'T WIN A RING WITHOUT D. FISH!!

Look at the division - Kings (should be improved, always give the Lakers a battle); Warriors (should be much improved); Clips (much improved)
Then you got the Blazers for 4 games, Spurs will be improved, and the Mavs, too. Last season was a down year for the West, but if teams stay healthy this season it will be wild again. And Okafor gave the Lakers fits on the Bobcats. So you look at all the playoff teams from last year and you can only say they will be stronger this year.

lol at kings and clips

and no to the rest

their only losses this year will be a couple of random wtf losses
and a few losses to the big time teams celts, mag, cavs, spurs etc.

I mean, is there any doubt?

especially when his sobbing, slobbering ass can't get a job outside of desperate bottom feeders due specifically to his extremely deluded selfishness and the grotesque flaws of his own. hilarious.

oh, i know, you'll come back with some badly insane and out of place "you mad iversons winning" comment, or bombastic will make yet another lame killarmy joke while comically furthering his delusions of grandeur by saying "i'm bored w/you" (who the fuck says shit like that?) in the same post.

it's hilarious to watch you make statements like this about kobe while iverson just got his ass handed to him by the two teams that couldn't wait for him to go. there are so many L's in your post it's absurd.

so... your issue here is that you root for a team with a bunch of retards in management and can't build a team for shit. that's what your saying.

compared to last year...i dont see them getting 70

Well at least for good proven teams.

I doubt pj will be going for 70 and would rather limit kobe, pau and co's minutes through the season...

They can def win 70 imo but I don't think it'll happen....I think they'll finish just short...say 68

do you know how many blowouts we're gonna have?

ron ron = +5?
bynum don't count cause he's gotta get those gender tests before he's cleared to play.

those new and improved spurs are gonna be a PROBLEM. because the west is stronger i'd actually go out on a limb and say the lakers will lose at least 10 games to squads in their own conference. Not to mention they gotta deal with the Cs, Magic, and Brons back east. 70 wins? Fuck and No.

>Not to mention they gotta deal with the Cs, Magic,

yup, then you got cats like wade and rose who nobody on the lakers can guard for shit.

last year...

>last year...

really? name your price

It's your call....

how they truly feel when you demand they put that hard earned money up.

remember when i got laughed at last year in july for predicting the lakers would win easily win the west? you notice how not a damn body was man enough to put their money where their mouth is, even when i offered 3-1 odds. why? because deep down inside everyone else felt the same damn way.

people NEVER disagreed with you about the lakers being the favorites, especially me. i mean find me ONE instance where i disagreed with the lakers being the favorites. all i ever said was your posts were made to early, which they were. just cause you were right doesn't mean those posts were made at a more appropriate time.

people, including/especially lakers fans, disagreed with your discounting the entire west... which WAS stupid to do in july. Then the playoffs started and you did it again. Once again, most agreed the lakers were the clear favorites but thought you looked stupid by discounting the entire west. Lakers fans were still yelling at you for it... but you already know that.

so, just to reiterate the point i've always made: there's a difference between saying someone's the favorite and discounting their entire conference

you looked dumb.

you always have.

more appropriate time? lmao! wtf are you talking about? now there's a specific time to make predictions on the future?

>
>people, including/especially lakers fans, disagreed with your
>discounting the entire west... which WAS stupid to do in july.

lol why? why would i need to wait until the season started? to see what? i knew what to expect. kobe is kobe, bynum was coming back healthy, so was ariza, gasol was only with the team for a third of the season in 08 and we still got to the finals. a full year under his belt, plus odom coming off the bench...i mean please. too good. forgive me for not thinking another team in the west stood a chance.

you can tell by this thread i dont plan to wait just to meet your dumb requirement for an acceptable moment in time to foresee another dominant conference run.

>Then the playoffs started and you did it again.

lol uh yea, why wouldn't i? at that point everything was going according to plan.

Once again,
>most agreed the lakers were the clear favorites but thought
>you looked stupid by discounting the entire west. Lakers fans
>were still yelling at you for it... but you already know

they probably felt the same way, im just more open with it, they just didn't want to be perceived as cocky or arrogant.

>so, just to reiterate the point i've always made: there's a
>difference between saying someone's the favorite and
>discounting their entire conference

you still dont get it. pay attention. it was never about the rest of the conference. it was about my team, the lakers, who i anticipated as being too dominant for any team not named boston to see in a playoff series. period.

>
>you looked dumb.
>
>you always have.

lol oh yea, i sure looked dumb in june when my "premature" prediction came to fruition.

70 gms? seriously? nah, no way...

LOL @ you trying to change the bet parameters on the low

the bet? LB initially said they were going to win 70 gms and break the 1996-97 Bulls record and I say I don't think they'll win as many as they did last season.

And anyway, this between me & LB...who is you? the okaysports mediator? (lol)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<---- NOPE!!! CAN'T WIN A RING WITHOUT D. FISH!!

that's what this post is about + what drove that other post off the cliffs of insanity.

keep up the string of myopically bad predictions, buddy! lol.

1. socks, socks, socks. weknow the drill. he has to show that he can show up and do the thing she was doing each time he went down without going down. this is obvious.

anyhow, if he scores in that 15-18 point range while staying healthy, we're gonna be real hard problem to solve inside with he and pau. defensively if he gets to that 2.5 and up block range with 10 boards per.. yeah. his man to man is suspect though and that needs to be shored up.

2. the bench mob must return to form. jordan and sasha have to fucking show up. lamar will be lamar so expect that. shannon brown getting a training camp and proving effective as he was last year will help us immensely on both ends of the floor. josh powell needs to get some minutes and be more consistent defensively. this unit needs to be the consistent threat it has been in certain periods and do so for the season.

3. ronnies impact remains to be seen. the defensive intensity should go up a few notches. he gives us unlimited rotation options and phils management of that will be a major key. ron and pau, kobe and socks, ron, kobe, and lamar, etc... at any given moment kobe or bron and one of the three main bigs have to be on the floor. there really is no reason they should have all five guys out at once. EVER.

honestly if these things happen then 70 is very possible.

If he can get back to where he was prior to his injuries the past 2 seasons then we've really yet to see his true impact.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<---- NOPE!!! CAN'T WIN A RING WITHOUT D. FISH!!

Scratch that. I can't wait to see the first Kobe and Artest feud/ media enduced verbal battle/ proverbial practice scuffle. This will be the best soap opera season yet and I believe the final act is back to back.

Love em or hate em, it really don't matter. Oh and first sign of trouble they will ship Ron in a New York Knick minute but he got way to much on the line to screw this up.

aint that what yall said last year? the 07-08 season was a rare occurrence, you think the west is likely to have a scenario like that again where the conference is so competitive the 8 seed needs 50 wins?

who's improved, outside of san antonio and portland? i dont see how denver's a better team. or new orleans. houston damn sure aint better, neither is dallas or utah or phoenix.

it was a lil worse than i expected but no one could have reasonably expected it to be better.

i think it will be about the same next year, maybe a little better. some people are banking on denver and dallas to improve but that seems like wishful thinking, especially vis-a-vis advancing in the playoffs. i could see either or both having a better regular season record but dallas was a fluke to advance at all last year and i cant see denver getting back to the conference finals. like you said i houston way down but the spurs pretty far up, portland up and, if they can get any kind of consistent health, utah should be much improved. new orleans still has no depth. phoenix should be better and oklahoma city will headline the shitty teams that wont make the playoffs but will be a lot more competitive. between the spurs and probably portland/utah and the fact that most of the REALLY lousy team were in the west and will be better, i think it's safe to say there will be at least *some* improvement this year.

>neither is dallas

you're really bored.

*los angeles lakers: 2009 nba champions*

-the dynasty continues-


..and miles to go before i sleep...

If the West is indeed better this season, then the Lakers could drop 5-7 more games from that alone.

I get the feeling this upcoming year could be like Year 2 of the 3peat...where LA was angrily inconsistent and at times not even competitive during the regular season, then the playoffs came and they kicked the shit outta er'body.

There are a lot of variables...

Bynum's ability to complete a season and be consistent.

Artest's grasping of the Triangle and buying in (which should be hopefully easy with Kobe & Odom on the team and Ron's respect for Feel Jax)

Bench & Point Guard play (this is CRUCIAL)

Gasol continuing to play with a chip on his shoulder

We'll see. In many ways, this season might be Kobe's biggest challenge of his career. Can he lead and keep himself and the team focused after proving the critics wrong about winning without Shaq?

thought not.

I see you offered one on 65 up there. Let's bet on your og claim.

It's your claim and you sound sure nigga.

>It's your claim and you sound sure nigga.

if you think there's no chance it'll happen 3-1 odds should be nothing to you

i'd give some action betting against

100 a point

3-1? $100 point?

you lose you pay me $100.

150-50. Now that that's out of the way, wanna bet on them winning 65?

and I believe he will too. I don't know why, but I do.

nm.

Well, not really, you're just biased.

The West will be better. They'll be lucky to get back to 65.

>The West will be better. They'll be lucky to get back to 65.

outside of the spurs and blazers, i don't see any team who for sure improved. im supposed to believe new orleans is better? or dallas? utah MIGHT be better, can they stay healthy?

Spurs and Blazers, yes. Utah will be better if they're healthy, which they should be. Denver will be better, as will the Suns. You never know with Nawlins and CP3. Dallas will be good but they won't do anything remarkable. Even some of the weaker teams will be better, like the Clips and Thunder.

Phil Jackson's health could be an issue too.

Artest is an upgrade over Ariza but nothing's guaranteed. People were saying the same thing in 04. And it's always harder to repeat.

bold predictions get upped throughout the season here either way, and when you involve the lakers...

i got no problem with the count down personally, cause i'd do the same exact shit.

half the fun around here is taunting rivals, and if you can dish it out- which we sure as fuck do- we have to take it when it comes our way.

though... a lot of the laker anti's seem to want us to simply enjoy our success quietly, despite the 4 years of incessant ridicule we received prior.

personally i think it's fair to hand out L's on this one.

i've been more in the "legit shot" camp though, not really the definitive "we WILL" camp. either way, this is fair and legit imo.

i see injurys, bruised egos and them getting a rude awakening. hye are good but far from great.

if Magic, Kareem and worthy and them had this watered down league they would have gone 78-4. but not these lakers.

Still a top 5 defense. Until the Denver game they were holding their opponent to under 43%. Lead the NBA in steals The Defensive rebounding has been dissapointing though. The D is not perfect but it's still better than at least 25 other teams

Once Gasol gets back this team will be a Top 3 defensive team.

I fully believe the Bulls record will never be broken, I can't imagine an NBA team going thru a whole season with single digit losses.

Cavs came pretty damn close last year.

Or at least that's what ppl were saying when they lost in the playoffs..

Close but not as good.

65-67 wins. 69 is even suspect at this point given their home and opponent friendly record for the first half of the season.

Not to mention the league overall has gotten better:

Sac
Mem
OKC
MIL
ATL
HOU didn't fall all the way off
PHX returned to form

LB doesn't just need LA to win the title this year, he needs them to win 70+ on the way AND then win it all again next year for another three-peat to even be on the same footing as jordan.

and since ain't none of that gonna happen, this post goes down as a lost for ya boy.

.....

They ain't getting anywhere close to that record. LOL

foh tryin to see my paper

to get em off to a good start and have the media talk about them comparing them to the 96 Bulls. Didn't quite work out.
Not that they played terrible but they had their struggles against average teams.
If it wasn't for some close wins they would be battling Dallas and Denver for the #1 spot in the West.

just saving time...

lol ty

.

so i'm not sure if he believes them or not, but the most wrong ones come from the dolphins. to be fair, last year he was right about the fins, and he came relatively close to the "two 1000-yd rushers" prediction this year

in the way...broken finger, injury prone bigs, etc ...

IN THE HISTORY OF FUCKING BASKETBALL

which is WHY 70 wins is such a mythic number and rarely accomplished feat.

foh like you're blindsided by a less than 100% healthy roster for all 82 games

>in the way...broken finger, injury prone bigs, etc ...
just stop

lmao

It was a hopeless prediction to begin with, made by this boards most delusional fanboy. I just dont see the point.

yay

in theory, communism works. in theory. © Homer

can't keep up with the Ls

because no team is winning 70 any season soon

you gotta be RIDICULOUSLY dominant, mainly because any smart coach is not gonna push his team super hard for the record.

almost

nm.

whenever you're ready sweetheart

lmfao. i'm joking

I'll inbox you a paypal soon

i respect LBs love for them boys ...but man 70 wins is hard as hell to accomplish..let alone 72....good try LB...hope you aint gon lose too much money bruh..its rough out here in cali right now...

no

I mean, I'm glad they won & they really stepped up against Orlando but I never though this team was focused enuff to pull that off. I'll take back-to-back rings if we can pull that one off tho.

artest will have a season of the tri under his belt and bynum and shannon brown will continue their improvement.

plus the chances of the injury bug hitting us as hard next season as it has this season are pretty slim.

I probably would have switched the order on which games they lost but the bottom line is if they win in ATL tomorrow night they will have a grand total of one tough road game left on their schedule and considering it's Denver who will have played on the road the night before while the Lakers will have had four days rest & their standing in the West makes it a 'statement' game, I like their chances in that one as well.

6 of 8 gets them 70 and there's at least 3 gimmes in there (Clippers, TWolves, Kings).

I NEVER thought for one second this Laker team would get anywhere close to winning 70 gms.

Not only that, I made a bet with someone about two weeks ago and took the under that they wouldn't even win 60 games this year. I'm on pace to win that bet needless to say.

just number one stan around

this shit was an LB special. I love dude's passion. but not nan one of us was clapping to this shit.

I mean they have a player as good as Jordan on their squad. lol

maybe because they don't play in a cup cake conference. Maybe because they are DEFENDING CHAMPS and everyone is gunning for them OR maybe 6 games is a lot of games. Take your pick or by all means use them all.

>65 wins last year with a shitty defense and bynum out half

WHAT?!

and to be clear this has always been about LBs ridiculous predictions.

this is just sad
