And this is the Kobe that Laker fans have asked for for years. Efficient shooting in every game so far AND he's doing a great job of passing this game.
like does he not understand that Kobe is hurt and is unwilling to tell him to sit down? is he really that much of a bitch? the game is over, he could have been left on the bench.
I actually don't think Knight is that bad. Tayshaun has been cooked since 09 though and is horrible. Monroe is a pretty good piece to build on. But yea they have alot of dead weight on the team. I like Drummond but he is too raw.
Clippers rely on their bench too much which will result in the same shit as last year because a lot of depth is overrated in the playoffs when the starters are the ones playing big minutes.
Mavs won't go far this year.
No one else is worth mentioning...oh wait...the SPURS. So yeah, I expect another great year for the Spurs and wouldn't really doubt a finals appearance from them and even the championship as even the HEAT have some issues on the defensive side of the ball and Spurs matchup really well with them.
I'm sure Coach Pop will find ways to stop Wade and Lebron. It really is stupid to say "Lebron and Wade are unstoppable, which means they're OBVIOUSLY going to repeat". My god that's the most annoying thing of the season/off season so far, the annoying ass people that thing that the Heat have already won. Boston took them to 7 last year and the Pacers took them to 6, albeit that was with an injured Bosh but it's not like this team is unstoppable.

Spurs always look great, though. It's no surprise. Truth is, they're not getting any younger and I feel they lack the athleticism to hang with Miami for a 7 game series.
Metta could guard Lebron well enough. You need to stop saying Metta is washed up when he's not. He hasn't played washed up at all since the ASG when he lost a lot of weight. In fact he's played well. You would know this if you watched the games instead of just perceiving the truth. I'm not saying he's amazing, but he's playing his role well enough that he benefits the team, especially on the defensive side.
And I know he won't shut down Lebron. That's not the point. The point is Lebron will do what won him the title last year, which is go inside, except Metta and Dwight can overpower his ass inside the paint and he won't be able to get anything done in there.
So if the Heat want to win they'll also have to rely on Lebron's perimeter ability(LOL) and his FT shooting. Not exactly Lebron's strength. :kobe
LOL at you underrating LeBron's perimeter ability.
He showed against Boston, a better defense than the Lakers that he was capable of taking over a game without having to drive inside.
LOL at Metta overpowering LeBron. LeBron has the strength & size advantage in that matchup.
Ron Artest is overrated as a defender at this point in his career. Like I said before, the only people he can guard effectively as this point in his career are players who are either slow or soft. He can't guards guys that are faster than him or goes that aren't soft and can handle his physical play.

I'm not underrating shit. He never won any championships off his perimeter ability. He isn't a good perimeter player and no one wants him to play as one. if he is forced to he will strong far more than he would if he's able to work inside.
He was able to get inside rather easily against Boston. It was hardly at all perimeter play.
I meant the combined presence of MWP and Dwight. Nonetheless, LOL @ you for acting as if Metta is some pushover. He gets pushed over by no one.
I've seen him guard plenty of players that are faster than him. He gets owned some games, but is usually consistent with good defense. I'm not even arguing about this as I watch every Lakers' game and I see him play, the times he gets beat is usually when he provides help for other players rather than him just letting players score on him in one on one situations.
