On a scale of 1-10, how much does this team scare you?

[BankShot]

As a Wolves fan, this Lakers team isn't any different than last year's in a practical sense.

The Wolves weren't gonna beat last year's Lakers, and they won't this year.

It does however make the Suns more beatable, which could add a win or two.

Net gain.

[ncrizzle]

probably an 8. If age/injuries/bench were not issues it would easily be 10

[swi7ch]

If I'm the Heat, 10.
If I'm the Thunder, 0.

Heat are built to lose to LAL.
OKC are built to beat the LAL.

Artest as the Hulk looks perfect

[Extempo]

Y'all are BAD liars...

[Clutch]

If I'm the Heat, 10.
If I'm the Thunder, 0.

Heat are built to lose to LAL.
OKC are built to beat the LAL.

By that logic the Heat shouldn't be worried about them at all because the OKC will beat LA.

[DaSeba5]

I'd say a 6. I think OKC will beat LA, but they are pretty scary on paper.

On a scale of 1-10 for me is a 0. Couldn't care less i'm not going to lose a game to them, and unless we are talking about a handicapped WWE style match then I am not too worried about losing in a fight to any of them. You know the fact that I will likely never be in a position to fight any one of them, and if I was other than Artest's crazy ass I would like my chances anyways.

YOUR NOT GOING TO LOSE A GAME?
WHAT THE F*CK YOU TALK LIKE YOU PLAYING THE GAME N*GGA.

[3zazer1]

So they have a good guy (Nash), a soft guy (Pau) and a clown (Dwight).

Rapist (Kobe) and a crazy guy (MWP) surely make them scarier but nothing to be afraid of since Kobe won't rape men.
Basically the only guy who someone should be afraid of is MWP.

I'll give them a 4 just because they have a lunatic on the roster.

I was trying to decide between these two, but I couldn't so here's both.

6

definitely not goin to the finals

[DixieNourmous]

Its good not to be scared, but the chances the Lakers are going to beat many teams this year by 20+. it could make it embarrassing.for some.


I say an 8

Dont know about a title but they definitely have the tools for it.

[TaLvsCuaL]

If all 4 were in their prime would be really scary, but I think Lakers will suffer many problems with that old perimeter defense.
