Nooo, soft teams never win the championship, so the Lakers have no chance.

How will the Lakers softness play out against Boston?

The team can score, but when you trot out Vladimir "space cadet" Radmonovic, Lamar "small forward" Odom and Pau "even Darko Milicic called me soft" Gasol as their frontline and with the undersized male cheerleader known as Ronny Turiaf as the only big backup coming off the bench, how will the Lakers fare against the much tougher Celtics?

Defense wins championships and right now the Lakers are giving up a 100 points a game in the playoffs.

The question is, can a soft team win the championship?

I've never personally touched a Los Angeles Lakers' player, so I can't really comment on how soft they are, but I will say the Celtics will lose.

The lakers being soft is largely overrated, I'd hoped they proved that against the Spurs who are anything but soft. Also, the Lakers' bench is much better then the celtics. The real question here is: can the celtics run with the Lakers?

PS Your sig is too big and you should probably resize it or get rid of those 17's.

It's funny how Boston fans think that the Lakers are the underdogs here.
