Their Big 3 is better than our Big 3

[8'sReverse]

It's only more obvious when 3 potential HoF'ers are more consistant than 1 HoF'er and 2 inconsistant potential All-Stars in the Finals. I guess that's the point, huh?

The negativity surrounding your board is amazing. Sure, you may not win the Finals, but you're in fantastic shape: your core is young and still growing, you're a Top 3 team in the league, and you have the MVP. The future is incredibly bright.

/bitter suns fan rant.

thank you very much. i agree 100%. if bynum comes back healthy next season, no one will be calling the lakers soft in the middle. i'm thrilled the lakers made it to the finals and i'm still hoping they can pull out a miracle.......................but i can't stop thinking about how much better this team should be next season.

Legit points receive warnings now?


Anyways, if Bynum wasn't hurt I would probably say Lakers Big 3 of Kobe, Gasol, Bynum > Ray, Pierce, Garnett

do you really think one hall of famer and 2 good players are better than 3 hall of famers, of which none (contrary to popular belief) are washed up?

defense is what you need really.

not another scorer.

[TMU]

Despite all the negativity in these Lakers thread, the bright side is that Bynum will return next year and that the Lakers are one of the youngest teams in the league. This team should be back in the finals next year.

EDIT: On a side note, this series is not over.

With Bynum in there, all the Lakers need is a SF that can hit the outside jumper and play defense. Battier would be damn near perfect, as would a Posey. Bynum/Gasol/Kobe should provide plenty of scoring, meaning the PG and SF spots should ideally be guys who make their open shots and play tough defense. PG is all set with Fisher, you just need a SF who isn't Lamar Odom.

Lamar Odom is not consistent in series....

And Kobe did not have the stardom to take over...

Sorry, it is over, next year.,
