I'm starting to get really excited for the lakers and celtics 1st game this season on christmas day and considering their nice respective records. The lakers look really scary even against quality team. I guess it's bynum and most of all their hunger for coming up short in the finals against the celtics. They have been blowing up teams the way we were doing it last year. Plus they look really efficient on offense and they run the break really well. What will be the deciding factor is how we will match up against them inside because that's how other teams really get uncomfortable with them. I hope our bench already develops to match up with the lakers deep rotation. I see us having a difficulty with this year's lakers team similar to how we were playing the cavs in the playoffs where they also had a very tough frontline rotation of Z,ben,varejao & smith.

The top teams this season are obviously the celtics,lakers and cavs in that order. And we have beaten the cavs already. Let's make a point to the Lakers that we can still beat them this time around.

Just having Bynum back helps the Lakers alot. Also Farmer has improved over last year and Ariza is healthy and playing really well. The Lakers have improved over last year and are beating the oppentents by a average of over 14 points per game.

As far as us, we are about as good as last year. But I think as the season goes along, we will get better. I feel that Rondo and Perkins will continue to improve because they are still very young and get the opportunity to play a lot of minutes. I also think that Tony Allen will get better as he is just finally getting his confidence back.

I also feel that Bill Walker should be about to contribute about 8-12 minutes a game and make an impact by the 2nd half of the season.

This game, I can't wait for! It's going to be HUGE, but I expect the Lakers to win.

I always feels the same against good teams......we gunna lose....think all those long suffering years of crap C's teams has made me devlop a complex....I need at least 3 more chips before I can recover.....

But, hopefully we can get by em

Already with the Faker talk. Who cares about them. We are better or equal to them at every single position. Who here remembers June? I do. I was there to see it happen.

^ Witnessed it too, although everyone knows that this year is a different ballgame. and I want us to repeat coz that's never been done since the lakers with shaq. We shouldn't allow them to spoil our attempt on another dynasty.

I think we'll win. This reminds me of a few years back when everyone thought the Colts would FINALLY beat the Pats after having a killer regular season...and they got stomped in the AFC Championship game in NE...

I like us winning and cant wait! Less than a month away!

I can't believe how some people are getting really scared here. Stop with wetting your diapers will you. Lakers are blowing out teams and beating them, HAVE THEY PLAYED US YET...no...chill... let's have them blow us on Dec 25th....they will surely blow us......you know wht I mean

I hope it's gonna be great ! May the best team win, and i hope the Lakers will be the best !

bruno sundov, who do you love more ? Kournikova or the Celtics ? I'm perfect in russian, i may help you to write a letter for her.

It's not polite to say it here, but no way Allen is better than Kobe !

Are you sure about that?

I agree with OP, I cant wait for the 25th.

Amazing..............4 threads on the Lakers and the game is still 24 days away.
