No that’s not a typo. The Lakers are going to win the NBA championship. I’m not just saying that because I am Laker fan, it is true. Look at the Lakers’ team. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Metta World Peace. That lineup can win and has won a title. Plus, the lineup includes one of the men who saved the NBA, Derek Fisher .
How can a team whose best players are all over 30 win a championship? Look which team won it last year. Look which team beat the Lakers last year in the play-offs, the Mavericks. The Mavs’ best player was 33. Kobe’s the same age this year. If Dirk can do it, Kobe can too!
In addition, the Lakers are getting a fresh start. Phil Jackson is retired, he’s done. In steps former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown . Besides Brown, there are plenty of other new assistants. Brown is determined to win his first championship, something he could not do with LeBron. . Brown lost in the ’07 finals to the Spurs. Who was the best player on that Spurs team? A 31 year old center named Tim Duncan.
Another advantage for the Lakers is the lockout. Because of the lockout there is a shortened season. As stated before, the Lakers’ team is not the youngest. The players could get fatigued, and become injured. Fatigue and injuries is how the lockout is benefical. Since there is a shortened season, the Lakers’ starters can get extended minutes, since the players are only playing 66 games. 66 games? That’s how many games Kobe plays when he’s injured! Imagine 66 games, full strength. The Lakers will have more time to rest, and recuperate. Because they will have so much rest, Kobe and Pau will be unstoppable!
How can Kobe and Pau beat the Durantula and Russell Westbrook? These two teams are really different. The Thunder is young and raw, while the Lakeshow is “a bunch of old geezers”. How can the Lakers beat a young and raw team like that? It’s simple. Experience. How many players on the Thunder have been past the conference semifinals? Get rid of recent trade acquisition Kendrick Perkins, and their is no one. Zero, Zilch. How many Lakers have won a championship? The entire starting five. Kobe, Pau, Odom, Fish, and if you count an injured Bynum, have all won multiple championships.
This is most likely the Lakers’ last year as a dynasty. There are other up and coming teams in the western conference that can easily win the championship in the next few years. The Lakers are destined to win the championship this year. They have all the right pieces. A core group of players, an encouraging coach, and lots of play-off experience.Finally, in the coming weeks, the Lakers could be getting Chris Paul and Dwight Howard to form a new “Big 3”. Kobe and those two guys, and a shortened season. A match made in Heaven.
Naw homie, I am sorry to say that the Cs will kick LAs but and quite possibly the Thunder will come out on top
ReplyDeletenice avi!
ReplyDeleteas much as i want them to win, they had the same players as last year, and still lost -_- lets just hope that Mr. Superman will get his booty out of orlando to come play for us!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a bad team, even if they got blown out last year. They needed some tweaking. But now, this is one big mess the Lakers are in unless they pull a couple of "big deals."
ReplyDeletethere's a reason phil jackson left and it wasn't because he's too old to coach.
