C'mon, we can sweep the Spurs just like we did 2 years ago! ames 3 and 4 are crucial  to Laker's  survival. If the Lakers win games 3 and 4, it would be like starting round 2 again.

Mark it down....Spurs in 5.

Hoping for a sweep, but the Fakers may pull one out of their anal sphincter.

It's not so much lack of fire, it's lack of talent.  They have Kobe, Shaq, but nobody else who would start or even get significant minutes on the Spurs, Kings, or Mavs.

Damn, Ginobli and Duncan is killing them. Tim Duncan is so dominant as a power forward that even $haq has to guard him.

I think Kobe is overated.

But Shaq is the real deal, as he goes, goes the lakers. He's a seven foot offensive lineman playing center on a basketball team.

Kobe's taking too many shots and the ref's are finally calling fouls on Shaq.

Can't wait for the Spurs' sweep.  (Although 5 would be ok).

Take kobe away, how good are the lakers?

Now, instead, take Shaq away.....................


Put kobe on the celtics, are they a championship team?


Now, instead, put Shaq on the celtics..................


Or, for that matter, put Shaq on any team.

Shaqs a great center... maybe in the top 10 of all time. Centers have a much bigger impact (unless you are MJ). People who place him in the top 2 or 3 centers of all time are over rating him IMHO.

Kobe is one of the top 10 guards of all time. If you think about that one, it is a much tougher fraternity to break into than the center group. Lots more guards than centers dontchano.

Shaq is in the top 5...........easily. Name one center through time who could go head to head against him. Him and Chamberlain would be a good match, but that's about it.

BTW, why is Kobe in the top ten?

1. Walton - A healthy Walton would run and jump and pass and shoot circles around Shaq. His one healthy season in the pros his team went all the way.

2. Wilt - Quicker than Shaq, Bigger and Stronger.

3. Bill Russel - Defensive genius. Could have single covered Shaq all game long and still collected his 20 boards.

4. Kareem - Was almost unstoppable in his youth. Almost as fast as Walton. Skyhook would have eaten Shaq alive.

I guess that puts Shaq in the top 5.

Kobe may be overated, but he is as good a guard as the league has seen.

The only one of those guys who could bang with Shaq is Wilt.  The others were just too small, particularly Russell.
