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 the NBA which you are completely wrong. Saying the Lakers need a PG who can Guard Russel Westbrook. Tell 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.

Howard isn't a 100% and metta isn't as good of a defender as he once was. You're the same idiot that said bynum can't defend. So once again stop replying to me

Why would we need him 100% for the first two months or even three months of the season? If he can be 100% by the time the playoffs come then we will be ok that's all that matters.
Also it's true Bynum can't defend in a situation where it requires him to not let anyone score in the paint he is to slow to reacting when someone goes by him why do you think he couldn't defend against OKC, But in a post up situation he is a very good defender. Metta is going to be that defender once again he has recently been working out harder than he has ever been & has been posting pictures about him self looks like he is in the best shape he has ever been.

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

Their not a good defnesive team?
Their a top 8 defense in the NBA in 2012: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/stats/by..._2011&sort=329

In 2011 they were sixth....

Adding Howard is only going to make their defense better, lets talk about basketball knowledge SMH.

8th for a championship caliber team? So can they match up with Miami? Or even OKC? I think not. Stats don't tell the whole story man but OK its obvious you aren't going to respect me so no need to respect a no life like you. You even got a wife? You're always on OS

Personal attacks?
I See a ban coming very soon.

Exactly man. The Knicks are the same way (though they improved a lot this year with chandler) and just because you can pull a stat out your butt doesn't make you knowledgeable

Actually overall LA had a good D. The achilles heel for LA and what has always been even back in the Shaq days was their inability to defend against the pick and roll. Westbrook murdered them b/c of this. Also another issue LA had was that their offense was horrible. You have a team that virtually grew up in the triangle all of sudden switch to a traditional offense with Derek Fisher/Blake and Ramon Sessions at the helm? Then add in the fact they really didnt have guys that can spread the floor is a recipe for disaster. Guys basketball is a 2fold game at the same time. You cannot play bad offense and great defense and expect to win. This isnt football where your defense can CYA for you (ala 2000 Baltimore Ravens). If you cant create easy shots on offense and become too predictable that makes life 10x easier for the other team on offense.

Now that Dwight is there and MWP is supposedly in serious shape this will alleviate alot of Pick and Roll issue. Nash is the ultimate playmaker on offense. Dwight is the 2nd most efficient PnR finisher in the league, now add that to Nash? It becomes real dangerous when Kobe has to become the afterthought on who to stop when dealing with LA. Lets not forget the bench upgrades. Jamison is a capable starter and Jodie Meeks is a good spot up guy. Not a great bench but far from inept like last year.

I laugh at all of you all that dont know anything about basketball
To say hibbert is overrated is just stupid and to say he didnt do anything in the playoffs goes to show poeple watch the games but have no clue what they are watching. In that miami series when they made an effort to get hibbert the ball they won when they didnt they lost it was that simple. Hibbert is a highly skilled offensive center in some ways better than dwight howard / he is more polished offensively and a good shot blocker but howard is a better rebounder. Its hard to produce when you dont get the ball. he havent even peaked yet when he does him and and Al jefferson will be the top centers in the league mark my words

Dwight averages 2.2 BPG while Hibbert 1.6 and somehow is the better shot blocker..the logic astounds me

I actually think that Hibbert is, typically, underrated in terms of people's general opinion of him. He's a solid player. However, I believe that even most Pacers fans would consider him overrated at an 86. I'd be very surprised to see him still at 86 by release.

The other thread said he is a 78 or 79 I forget.
86 is WAY WAY WAY to high . Idk what they could have possibly rose so high to get him to a 86!

I didnt say he was a better shot blocker you must did not read it
I said he was more polished offensively and a good shot blocker and you went through all that trouble to be an smart ***/dumb ***

Re: NBA 2K13 Ratings - Dwight Howard – 96, Chris Bosh - 83, Roy Hibbert - 86

Al Jefferson is more polished than Shaq was so that means 0.

On a per 36 min scale (so they are compared evenly)

Hibbert: 15.5ppg, 12.4FG per , .497FG

Howard: 19.4ppg, 12.6FG per, .573 FG

This proves being more "polished" means 0 when Dwight is much more efficient as a scorer and is actually the 2nd most efficient finisher in the pick and roll. If you want to sound the least bit intelligent it would be best to back away from the argument that more polished is anything of substance. Hell Rik Smits was more polished than Shaq. Hibbert is an average offensive player and above average defender and great shot blocker by todays standards.
