i'm not sure that nelson can step in and be the primary distributor that turkoglu was.

because Kobe's window is closing. as of now, Artest is a big upgrade at that spot. I see Kobe at this level(aka title contention) for the next 2 or 3 years.

Kobe's like MJ; he's driven.

There's no reason to bet against him even 5 years from now if Phil Jackson's still there, but that's a lot of road trips and a lot of meditating for the Zen Master.

As for now, I think Artest will be a slight upgrade, but he can be a bigtime chuck, even more than Kobe if you know what I mean. Can't you just see him putting up airball 3's in the 4th quarter, and Kobe grilling his a$$. I hope his ego stays in check and can handle that.

No chance Jackson is there in 5 years.

i agree his shot selection can be terrible. but he won't be allowed to dominate the ball with kobe...

Artest will probably be a good addition to the Lakers, especially if they lose Odom (looking more likely), but I will not abandon the hope that he causes them to implode and fall short of a repeat. I simply will not!

debaserr · 07-15-2009, 02:45 AM

no chance. and i would bet the lakers retain odom.

Do you guys remember the lakers vs the kings a few years ago. that was fun, but i wish the kings had won, but they fouled like mad.

Celtics look WAY stronger so far than I thought they would.

Lets talk about Phoenix, they are a scoring machine. If they can patch up some holes on D, especially in the paint, I think they could be a major force this year.

The Celtics are too old. Garnett looks really sluggish from what I have seen. He can't jump anymore. I bet one of their key players goes down with an injury, killing their title hopes. If by some reason they keep it together they are neck and neck with Orlando in my opinion.

Finals Prediction:

Lakers vs Magic
