First of all I said they would get destroyed by Miami and Philly could beat them. Secondly the Lakers improved their roster but they didn't address their biggest need. A PG that is young/athletic that can defend the westbrooks and tony Parker's of the league. Also you do realize Dwight howard isn't going to be 100% for awhile? Back injuries can linger for a long time so we don't know how long it will take. And I know more about the game than you because I actually PLAY it. That's firsthand knowledge. Bottom line the Lakers still aren't a good defensive team and are going to have to depend on howard too much to compensate for their lack of perimeter d. Also teams can just spread the Lakers out like the Spurs will do and knock down 3s. How is howard gonna stop that. No need to call me names because I'm not buying this Lakers bandwagon stuff.

Complete troll I swear.

Ok same can be said for both of those teams, Both the Celtics and the Knicks (Especially the Knicks got better). Who on the Sixers except for Buynum and possibly Holiday can score the ball at a consistent rate? Nick Young is streaky, Thad young struggled in the playoffs, Dorell Wright is a spot up shooter, Jason Richardson is past his prime, Don't get me started on ET. Offense is a important part of the game too, if your not scoring well your allowing teams to get rebounds and leak out. If their was a Lakers V Philly Finals Lakers would win 4-1 easy.

I understand your point but imo the series would be similar to Indiana vs Miami. But solid post thank you.

I've seen you throw out this crap multiple times before. What dose playing on a basketball team/ pick up games have to do with your knowledge of the NBA?

Pickup? No I play division 1 aau and varsity for my high school. And basketball is basketball. Certain things you wouldn't know how they worked unless you experience them yourself.

I dont care what you are buying b/c quite frankly I never once in this thread tried to sell the new LA squad as guaranteed champs. 2nd off you assume that no one else in this thread plays ball so you think you know more? Do you even know me? If I play? Unless you are on some pro level or apart of some coaching stuff you are on the same level as everyone else and based on the simple arguments you made there is no way you know more about basketball than me. You are just a Lakers *****. You would get more respect if you just admitted to that than tried to present some weird argument as to why to why LA isnt a championship contender with this roster and that a team like Philly that lacks any elite talent would beat them. Age and athleticism is overrated when you have guys that can actually execute high level of bball. Was Jason Kidd athletic when they beat OKC and the Heat in b2b series? No he wasnt. He executed the offense and Dirk played almost perfect offensive ball. If you think Nash isnt going to change life for LA offensively then just log off dude and go shoot hoops since you play in real life and leave the debate to the novices like us.

I do hate the Lakers honestly. But
n what way is my argument weird? I think good defense is way better than good offense.

Okay, So your telling me since you play on a basketball team in HIGH SCHOOL you know more about the NBA then everyone else? Using that logic everyone here is an idiot.

Dude basketball is basketball. But I'm done that was an idiotic comment by myself. I just feel you guys are dismissing my argument because y'all are blinded by this LA euphoria. I still don't think they are better than okc and they aren't going to run through San Antonio or even Memphis easily. As a LeBron fan I believe he wouldn't have a ring if not for rose getting hurt

I bleed Celtics, but I know when to give a team credit when their good instead of dismissing all the facts and using bias in an argument. And second of all, since "basketball is basketball" couldn't one play basketball and not watch the NBA? Theirs other levels of basketball, such as college and overseas basketball. So your telling me a person who has never seen an NBA game or dose not watch the NBA regularly can tell me how player x did? Or just because of his "basketball logic" he can auto detect that and know exactly how a player played without viewing stats or watching the playoffs. Their is so much wrong with your argument.

Oh and try the next time when getting into debates reading peoples responses you obviously:

Half of what people posted.

I said I was wrong about that wtf dude. So what makes your more knowledgeable than me then? Or vice versa
And remember what happened to Lakers in 04? Or even Miami last year? Defense wins championships something LA in my opinion isn't that good at

If you don't understand what you said then I will tell you. Just because you think you play Division 1 or highschool Basketball you think that it's going to be the same if you were to play in the NBA which you are completely wrong. Saying the Lakers need a PG who can Guard Russel Westbrook. Tell me who in the league that is PG can guard RW straight up without getting blown by. Saying the Lakers have no defense when they have Former DPOTY with Meta, Three Time DPOTY Dwight Howard, & 9 Time NBA All Defensive First Team Kobe Bryant
