2015 Lakers ( who will coach/play )






baring injury. this team will make the playoffs. anyone wanna bet their account?

[Im so nba'd out]

[dubeta]

your account isnt worth betting on

[LoneyROY7]

Barring injury? That gives you SOOOO much wiggle room. So if someone like Sacre or Xavier Henry get injured the bet is void?

[fpliii]

griff - Who on this team is gonna anchor the defense?

if any of the green box players + hill or young miss more than 20 games it becomes void

griff - Who on this team is gonna anchor the defense?

how many teams have a defensive anchor..

[Inferno]

Team isn't bad, but the West is really good

Steve Nash will miss 20 games guaranteed....

[red1]

yeah I think they will too

[Heavincent]

They would definitely make the playoffs in the East. But in the West? Nah.

[kennethgriffin]

Steve Nash will miss 20 games guaranteed....

alright i'l let nash slide for 30

i think if he can play 50+ games he can make a positive impact

I'm not even looking for a good one, but there are two possibilities here:

1) Boozer or someone is gonna be our rim protector.

2) Kobe's gonna have to guard the best perimeter player, and is going to get worn out or injured doing so.

i honestly think if the lakers traded julius randle for another veteren allstar caliber player they could be a real threat


dunno why theyre hanging onto him.. hes a great rookie and worth holding onto. but not with kobe having such little time left.

they could go from a 7th or 8th seed to a top 5 seed in the west with another huge adition

then anything could happen

ed davis is gonna get allot of minutes. hes a good rim protector, long and athletic. can play all day

and kobe wont be guarding the other teams best players on the perimeter.. not for more than 1 quarter a game maybe.

Can he handle starter minutes?

Kobe shouldn't have to, but who else is gonna guard their best wing guy? This is how D'Antoni ran him into the ground.
