When have they ever had a point guard since kobe has been there? An ancient gary payton is the closest they came and they diddnt win a title with him.

Again, you don't need a traditional Point guard in the triangle. Jackson's teams never have one.

The Lakers will be rid of Odom after this year. I might disown them if they keep him.

They won't be able to afford him. Luxury tax will kill them if they do. Interesting to look at the cap situations for these teams.

I don't understand why you guys think it would be so crazy if the Lakers won it all this year, as a fan im pretty confident that they will and they should have no problem doing so. The supporting cast Kobe has is 10 times better than that of Lebron and the Cavs. Give me Gasol and Odom over any of the players Lebron has.

Come on coach, we are both Lakers fans and this year I have actually been a big Odom fan, I love the way he has played.

On a side note, when is the last time that Sasha has hit a shot????? Everytime he shoots I am expecting a miss now.

The Lakers guards are a problem. If you dont see that as a weakness I'm not sure what you are watching. Cleveland presents all kinds of matchup problems for the Lakers and they are a superior defensive team. If anyone wants to wager on the series please let me know.

Phil Jackson coached teams won several championships with Ron Harper and Brian Shaw as starting point guards. That alone tells anyone the importance of having a true point guard.

Mo Williams, Delonte West and any other quick guard the Cavs trot out there are going to have their way on the Lakers guards who are horrible defensively.

I think all in all there are more matchup problems for the Cavs in a Cavs-Lakers series but the Lakers guards will be a huge liability from a defensive standpoint.

Back to the original post, though, Andrew Bynum really needs to sit down because he's not healthy enough to be playing right now.

Ron Harper and Brian Shaw are a few notches up from what they are trotting out there now.
