you kiddin??

This is one prediction that will be very hard to do. With a team as deep as the Lakers, there is no telling who "gets off" each night. I look for the only consistent Lakers to be Kobe 24/6/7 and Bynum 18/11/2 (Bynum only because he was almost unguardable on the high post pick and roll)

120!?

I'm hoping we'll be a better defensive team during the regular season next year.
I think we have really stepped up defensively in the playoffs but I'd like us to be better in the regular season.
Our perimeter defense is still suspect.

I'm not so worried about scoring. They will score plenty. This is a powerful offensive team already even without Bynum in the lineup.

Maybe 150 ?

170

112 and I think our defense will be bad at times due to laziness but come playoff time it will be good.

trying not to limit this to just offensive stats

what kinda of opposition ppg we looking at conceding per game?

That's 133 points...

not if they don't all play in every game.

anywhoo, 67-15.

You didn't try very hard. In your first post, you only mention scoring.

You get out what you put in.

Not every player plays every game... You you add everyones straight averages from this season you get about 138 ppg... Our team only averaged about 108 ppg

Kobe 81
rest of team 39...

2008/09 If team stays relativley healthy 63-29
Lakers season ppg average:109
Points scored on the lakers ppg:102

75 ppg for starters
Fish 8,3 apg
Kobe 22 ppg,5 rpg,5 apg
Odom 14 ppg,9 rpg
Gasol 18,7
Bynum 13,11

34 ppg for bench players
Jordan 8,2 apg
Sasha 7
Radmonovic 7,3 rpg
Walton 4,3 apg
Turiaf 5,5 rpg
Ariza 3 ppg

The bench keeps doing there thing much deeper when Bynum gets back making Radmonovic to the bench, averaging 34 ppg as a whole bench unit will be the best in the league making L.A really tough to beat like there not already in the western conference finals.

Look for Kobe's number to be a little bit down, but he will be just as clutch and as good simply put it he doesn't need to do as much when Bynum comes back that adds a possible superstar center is huge.

The Crazy thing the lakers might win a title without there whole team intact.

Odom's scoring/Gasol will stay about the same except Bynum will probaly make both of them average lower amount of rebounds assuming the everybody on the starter 5 especially Bynum is healthy cause Bynum is adding another rebounder and scorer in the paint.

Ariza will barley get many minutes with injuries and the players ahead of him are simply better Odom,Walton,Vlade Radmonovic...hes a good defender but with players ahead won't get much playing time.

380 and we will hold the opposition to 40.
