If this team actually gets its head out of its bum and plays to the level it did in the regular season,we might just win a championship.

I know the Lakers aren't a great defensive team, but they can be a good one. If we can workout how to play 'average' defense and and regain some of our offensive efficiency through Pau and Bynum, we are the favorites for the NBA title.

you have the take into account

that during regular season games, opposing teams wont pay as much attention to your tendencies.

when they sit down and analyse and design how to attack and defend against the lakers they have a 7 game series and whatever time thats allowed while waiting for the lakers to prepare...

its all about adjustments and because the lakers' superior talent made them heads and shoulders above any other team, just goes to show when houston took the lakers to 7 games that with enough hard work, they can still make a match out of a 7 game series

Defense is the main problem. Sometimes, I think that we only win because we're the team that has the best talent in the league and we have unstoppable offense. I agree that if the Lakers play "average" defense that you're talking about then nba teams will be in trouble.

There were no great teams in the NBA this year. Good teams with great players, but no great teams IMO. Right now the Lakers could easily be down 3-0, but thank goodness we are up 2-1 because of amazing play by KB24, Ariza, and Pau, they are all carrying the all the sudden stinky other LAL.
