2008 NBA Playoffs!

thats actually an interesting proposition. When Bynum does indeed come back, i'd be interested to see what Phil does. If you make the natural move, you'd be move gasol to the 4, leaving odom at SF having a starting 5 of

Fisher
Bryant
Odom
Gasol
Bynum

While that seems like a beast of a line up, i don't see how it would work with the triangle. Its been working well atm with Gasol as the centre, who can feed the cutters, like odom, radmonovic etc, as he's an excellent passer for a 7 footer and has great vision. I don't know if Bynum would be able to play that role, plus Gasol can't real slash to the rim. Plus that doesn't leave much outside shooting, as Odom can't really be counted on to continuously knock down outside shots.

I could most probably be be way wrong (hopefully i am) as the potential line up next year and beyond looks awesome. Farmar's looks as though he could develop in a very good PG, vujacic has become a consistent shooter, bynum can become one of the beasts of the league for the next decade, and ariza, when get gets fit, can become a very effective player for us.

Lakers advance...They showed some real character to regain the lead after being down nearly 20 points early in the game. Be interesting to see the TAB prices for these finals...Might put a lazy hundge on the Lakeshow...

I jumped on the lakers bandwagon as soon as the hornets went out and really got into todays game.

Should be interesting to see what the spurs FO does this off season. Finley, Horry and Barry off contract and wanting to get younger. Should be fun to see where they land (if they stay playing)

Kurt Thomas as well. I'll enjoy seeing where we go as well. Our drafting the last couple of seasons hasn't yielded anything special like the Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili ones previously. We need a solid alround bigman to complement TD and a backup PG that can penetrate the paint like TP and dish. Vaughn and Damon Stoudamire just aren't good enough (Regretting trading Udrih).

Nenad Krstic?

Lakers vs Boston - Final

This is going to be special.

Kobe
Gasol
Odam
Garnett
Pierce
Allen

Can't wait for this series. Much better then last years Cavs vs Spurs. We may actually see some exciting bball and a tight contest.

Gonna be a great series, difficult one though. For our chances of winning, i would rather have taken Detroit, Celtics match up pretty well against the lakers. Home courts another issue. Still, will be a great spectacle and if kobe can continue the clutch form he showed in Game 5, will be a series to remember
