Can the Lakers possibly play better than the Hornets did?

**td4mvp21** · 05-20-2008

I expect them to be just as tough, if not tougher.

He won't average 20 and 10 any more. The knee is gone. Sucks for you.

Possibly, I'm still gonna be doubtful as well until the season starts up again. Amare seems to have come back from some much more heavy stuff but you just never know.

But IF he is healthy, there will be to pay...it wouldn't even be fair anymore.

Why are you dumb s talking trash about next season? The world may end before then. We have a WCF looming.

Pop your ADHD drugs and focus.

Lakers fans HAVE to look forward to next year, because well, they're about to lose to the Champs.

He doesn't have to be great, he just needs to continue on with his 13 and 10.

Fixed.

Those are early season averages when he was a backup Center. When he gets more than 30 minutes a game, he's a 20 and 10 guy.

Idiotic fans? Why don't you go to lakersground and read some of the bull being spewed there you ing waste of breath.

Killed the hornets in 5? Talk about the epitome of arrogance...I hope you think the same way about the spurs.

dually noted

I hope half of you hang around after game 6.

Of course, you'll be ex-champs, but that's besides the point.

The Lakers have one of the best benches in the league. They are younger too. It's going to be a fun series, that's for sure.

Kobe is hungry. Bowen is not the same defender as he used to be, although still as dirty. He hurts people intentionally.

If you throw all those guys at Odom, Gasol will step up. I think the Spurs fans are underestimating the Lakers...

And the Lakers never do that...

**kingmalaki** · 05-20-2008

I am dying laughing at Laker fans who think Gasol has a chance in on stopping Duncan. Yeah, Duncan had a bad game the last time they played. What about the other 3 times they played this season? What about all the other times they have played in their career? Anyone who has watched those two teams knows Gasol has never consistently held Duncan well.

This is the same Gasol that recently had a playoff game where he didn't collect one defensive rebound. This is the same frontline that has been outrebounded practically every game in this postseason. Yet their frontline is better than SA's?

Whatever....

I don't think the Lakers are thinking that at all. Some fans might think so but the Lakers are taking this series very seriously.

I'm glad we get to play the Lakers... so the fans can continue hating the Spurs and continue to be this re ed.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Gasol is not going to stop Duncan. Nobody can 1-1 but Gasol will have is 19 points, 10 rebounds 3 blocks and 4 assists... Duncan at this stage of his career will be hard pressed to average that in this series.

hopefully he'll poke one of Kobe's eyes out. but then again, Kobe is so great he'll still score 50 on us, right?

Duncan will eat Gasol ALIVE. My prediction for Duncan is 30pts 20rebounds and 5 blocks per game.

**Man of Steel** · 05-20-2008

Hornets are tougher than the Lakers.

The Fakers won 1 more game than the Hornets in the regular season. Big ing deal.

LA will be lucky and win one game...

And why is that? Are the Lakers going to double team him everytime he gets the ball?

Lakers MIGHT win game 1, because the Spurs had to sleep on a plane the night after a Game 7. But that'll be the only game they MIGHT win.

Uh, no they're not. They're universally considered the best bench in the NBA.

Hmm, so Duncan, when he doesn't have the flu, can put up a 24, 14, 2 and 3 avg against the Suns (who have Shaq and Amare)...but he won't be able to get 19 and 10 against a frontline of Gasol and Odom?
