Charles kind of had a point. They almost won on the road shooting under 40% w/out Bynum and Bryant. With that being said, the Lakers is fully loaded with talent. But the fact that they are losing alot of games despite having probably the most talented roster in the NBA today is really frustrating to think of.

@Brad633 ok cool lol. peeeace

@JododoBozozo the lakers are stacked, no doubt AT ALL. So are the cavs, but LA has more individually talented players.

@JododoBozozo cleveland has more talent wtf ?

[xIISuPeRMaN]

@JayRicci7891 artest is better i think he brings a physical defence which i think they will need because he can defend on the perimeter and in the post .

[JayRicci7891]

@Brad633 Lakers a player worse than last year? You mean Ron Artest? If you do mean him, youre probably right. Ariza is a better scorer, but the defensive end its hard to choose between the two of them. I agree with you about Kobe though, only player on that team with a sense of urgency.

@JododoBozozo you're not giving farmar and brown the credit they deserve. They are much better than west. Odom dominates all 4 of the benchers you named. ilgauskas is okay, varejao gets good minutes and doesn't come close to getting double doubles most of the time.

[Brad633]

@JododoBozozo ur acting like its a fact, thats just your opinion. On every insider about the lakers, mostly people agree that the lakers have more talent. And it's true! You can't argue that overall cleveland has more individually talented players. Cleveland has average talent, but with the addition of lebron that is all...

[Brad633]

@JayRicci7891 ya it would be showtime if they could play together consistently well( talking about the lakers now). They do have the talent...the lakers are player worse than last year. No one seems to want the championship that bad except for kobe.

[JayRicci7891]

@Brad633 I never said those players were better, just stating that West, Varejao etc have played their part and the Cavs are in decent shape. If anything the Lakers are better than last year, but with all that talent are quite irratating to watch. One night they are brilliant, the next not so good. The "Showtime" Lakers of the late 70's & early 80's would kill you every night.

[Brad633]

@JayRicci7891 As much as you just described to me their players, that doesn't make them better. West and Verajao get much more playing time than any of the bench players i mentioned except for maybe farmar and brown. Odom could start on any other team, but i love how he's cool with being a bench player. Ilgauskas is just okay, he's not that good. Anthony Parker is barely your average shooting guard if that. They don't have much talent, but they do have experience.
