Lakers now vs. healthy Celtics + Sheed

[oh the horror]

Im sorry but at this point, i do not see Boston being DEEP enough.


They need to work on adding some key players if they even hope to get that far, because lets face it....they arent youngsters over there either.


They need fresh legs!

[knickballer]

Rondo>Fish
Allen<Kobe
Pierce = Artest(Pierce by a small margin if anything)
KG > Pau
Perkins > Bynum

The Celtics are a overall bigger team and will cause the Lakers fits. Sheed, Big Bady, Powe is 2x better then any big LA has on the bench. You also seem to forget that a healthy KG wrecked Pau, Perkins right now is better then Bynum. Celtics is the better team.

This year it will be interesting to see if the Celtics incorporate Bill Walker and JR Giddens into their rotation. An infusion of youth would be great for the Celts. Lester Hudson could also push Eddie House for minutes, if he is not sent down to the NBDL.

Lakers > Celtics

Keep in mind that the Lakers biggest strength is (no, not him) the size of their front line which just wears opponents down, especially in a series. This factor was very telling against Hosuton and Orlando, and Denver and Utah to a slightly lesser extent. The Celtics now are one of very few teams that can match the Lakers bigs (KG/Perk/Pierce, Sheed and Big Baby - no one is physically wearing this group down.)

Lakers won't get past the Spurs. Lakers haven't beaten a healthy team in the playoffs at all.

Perkins > Bynum? ROFL.

What about the bench? You just happen to miss that right?

Eh, Lakers are the overall bigger team. Odom? Mbenga?

F*cking Knicks fan. Stay in your lane. Rasheed is washed up, flabby and sick.

Yeah, but are they even signing Big Baby ?? They need to make a massive push at keeping that kid for sure.

You're right, nobody is gonna wear down the Celtics. Powe is gonna miss half the season, KG might not ever be the same player again and Perkins...is Perkins. Nobody needs to wear them down. They're wearing themselves down.

Powe is a fa and likely not goin back to boston and big baby bout to get copped by the spurs/magic. u heard it hear first boi

Comparing two teams purely on that is so freaking overrated...you also don't know how KG will comeback from his injury. Will he be the same as he was before? Boston need quite a few things to fall into place to be better than L.A.

Yea, it's not like they bounced the Spurs from the playoffs in 08 in 5 games or anything.

Oh wait.

Perkins defended Dwight Howard as well as anyone ever has without getting into foul trouble. Bynum..........did not accomplish that.

[oh the horror]

You can say whatever you'd like, but hands down, if Boston doesnt make an effort to deepen that bench and get some key younger legs out there, then you can count them out.


Sheed isnt the sole key factor to that team.

[SCY]

I have to go with the lakers still.

The lakers last year went 2-0 against boston when that team was healthy, then the lakers lost Bynum and still beat them on that road trip they went 6-0.

Stop with the 2-0 crap, you can't base crap on 2 games. The only reason Boston lost their home game was because of an outrageous 6th foul call on KG and they won by a whopping 1 point in OT. That should not even be a consideration.
