But ill save this argument for the playoffs. Continue with your thread.

what are you saying the Lakers arent favorites?...you must be in denial if you honestly dont think that...were the defending champs...we are the favorites to win regardless

...if you didnt know the defending champs are always the favorites coming into a new season ala the spurs and boston when they were the champs with the exception of the bulls in '99 of course   

So because ESPN doesnt sackride the Nuggets like they do the Lakers/Cavs/Magic then they are not favorites? The Nuggets matchup well with anyone in the league and incase you havnt noticed own the Lakers/Cavs this season. True if you are defending champs then you are the favorites going in, but I think it is a little far fetched to say the Lakers are the no questions asked favorites to win the title RIGHT NOW.

But like I said I will save this argument for the playoffs. See you there Lakers.


But to add to the post so im not just in here going off on tangents. The Lakers play a better team game when Kobe isnt on the floor. But they are not a better team overall. Thats just silly. The Jazz and Spurs im sure took for granted that Kobe wasnt playing and figured that the games were gonna be cake walks and they got embarrassed. I would expect a much different outcome if they were to have to play without Kobe for a week or 2 str8. But that wont happen. Kobe wont allow it, hes too competetive to sit out for 2 weeks at this point in his career. Its not like hes got a whole lot more left so if he can be out there hes gonna be out there.

im not counting out denver...they are definitely a threat to our reign for sure but where did i say that the Lakers are no question the favorites to win it all?..they are one of them yes but if youre counting regular season wins as reason to not put them as one of contenders then thats definitely farfetched

plus their chemistry is on point right now...my goodness.

we just saw lakers vs utah...utah was playin very well as of late..but still managed to get a W

kobe is great. but we have to admit that he stops the flow of the game.

kobe even said he doesnt care about numbers anymore...so lets do this

KOBE HOMER

They dont have as much pressure on them to perform when he's not right there next to them about to yell if they dont do well. I dont like the little remarks being said after games though about how only these last 3 games its been great and things like that, especially from Pau. What do you think, Kobe isnt litsening?? Good luck with that. Kobe is needed, in April May and June more, but he has to be healthy, dude tears teams hearts out.

And it's not done until we get the other 2...
