The Lakers still can't play the caliber defense the Celtics do, and all of you Lakers fans know it. Trust me if we see a healthy Boston team make it to the Finals next year, they're smashing on whoever the West sends.

Thats the biggest thing though IF we see a healthy Boston team. I want the Lakers to beat them at full strength. I don't even use the, "but Bynum was hurt" excuse for 2008 because being realistic Boston probably wins that series anyways if Bynum played.

That Celtic team got older though while this Laker team is still pretty young and got a few good years left in them. Also its hard to tell if those guys on Boston will come back with the same type of desire they had in 07-08. Garnett and Ray Allen already shed that can't win big games label, I wanna see if the motivation is still there for another run. I guess you can say the same about the Lakers and they might get complacent next season but I doubt that will be the case.

Also you gotta factor in that this isn't the same mentally soft Laker team from 2008, the Celtics were able to bully them around in 2008, I think the Lakers shed that soft image and picking up Artest defenitly helps as well.

Oh well it's gotta be summer on niketalk, dudes on here anticipating the next basketball season waiting for it to get here.

Thank God my team won the title so I can watch baseball all summer long and get dissapointed by my Mets

I don't know what's funnier...thinking the Celtics have a good chance at breaking the record or someone debating with First B0RN about the Lakers .

despite his obvious anti laker viewpoints he makes good arguments at times and he knows his stuff so ill give him that.

still i would love to make some sort of bet with him so that he can get the areuin729 treatment come next june
