West: Lakers will be 'dangerous' in playoffs

With out a change in their lineup they will not be dangerous at all.

Yes, we will.

To their fans:)

The Lakefs have a good team! They will be scary in the playoffs. The only problem is that their big men are not being used to their advantage. I know some Lakers are willing to bench Gasol or just get rid of him because they think he is useless. The Lakers can use these big men and just let Kobe cruise to the playoffs. Kobe is and is not a problem. He can get others involve and can get his game going anytime he wants to. He needs to trust his players.

Why would they not? It does seem like in this strange 66 game compressed season, that it is wide open imo.....The Lakers have a pretty good frontline, and they have one of leagues top scorers and clutch player in Kobe....why should they not be in the discussion

Agree
There is no team out west that wants to play them in a series

Same could be said for the Celtics...

.. but, both are getting weaker every year.

Although the Lakers have a slightly better team than Boston.

I was watching Kobe last night. Man, that guy can still play. He's so efficient, confident and capable. There is still so much to his game. Just when someone thinks they've got him he goes to another weapon in his arsenal. Who can contain him???

Father Time.

I was forced to listen to the game on the radio while at work last night rather than watch it on my big screen. I had never listened to a game on the radio before, but I gotta say it was great listening to it. There seems to be something about listening to a radio broadcast of a game as opposed to seeing everything happen on the screen. Was a good game.

Gasol is still as skilled a big man as there is in the NBA. The Lakers bigmen and a healthy Kobe means the Lakers cannot be counted out. If they can find a replacement for Fisher they can push the top teams in the West.
