Oh wait your saying my OPINION is wrong? I think If Utah Actually gets going and get their damn players healthy they could possibly do better, same goes for Houston. Celtics know the Lakers really and vice versa BUT I just think the Celtics just have that mental advantage over them.

Did somebody seriously just say Vujacic and Walton can create their own shot?

The key to the Lakers getting out the West and winning the Finals is Lamar Odom.

When he's in attack mode he is the biggest matchup problem in the league. He is the only player on the Lakers besides Kobe that can create his own shot and also shots for his teammates. When Odom is aggressive he makes the game a lot easier for Vujacic, Walton, and Farmer. When Odom is not aggressive the rest of the bench looks terrible.

Re: This thread isn't about Kobe, so don't start with that

The Lakers have some of the best role players in the league, as well as some of the best individual players in the league. One by one, Walton, Vujacic, Fisher, Ariza, and Radmanovic don't exactly strike the fear into the hearts of men, but they each have a role and play it very well.

Walton is a glue player who can kind of do it all. Spread the floor, rebound (not great, but ok), and is a good passer at the SF. Vujacic does his job as coming onto the court and randomly hitting threes. Fisher is the quintessential non-superstar PG. While he won't put up huge numbers, he controls the offense, plays good D and shoots well. Ariza is defensive-minded (did good on LeBron last night) and is a good slasher and athlete. Radman spreads out the floor and is big for playing the 3. When Farmar comes back, he adds some depth and control at PG and makes the Lakers an even more dangerous squad.

We all know what Odom, Gasol, Bynum, and Kobe can do, and looking at their roster, it's not surprising of what their record is. Other than a really gritty big man coming off the bench, they have all the tools for success. Definitely unlike any of the 05/06/07 Lakers squads.

You can say what you want, I still think all those players can create their own shots. I'm not gonna change your opinion and you're not gonna change mine.

Yeah, we know, youvlass. No matter how high the facts and evidence stack, there is NOTHING that can make you change your mind at all. I think we all got that.

Just admit that you're wrong. Sasha and Puke could create their own shots.
