Lakers continue win

Yeah, it's still the pre-season, but the Lakers continue to look good, and not as bad as many (biased) news comentators thought. They won tonight against the Kings, sure the Kings were tired, but it gave the Lakers another chance to move the ball and really work on their offense. And they did what you're supposed to do to a tired team, beat them handily. Kobe looked good being more of an energizer out there, Caron Butler looked great, and Chris Mihm put in 17 in another impressive performance. Cook continues to bring a degree of scrappiness reminscent of Lakers old (Fox, Fisher). 2-1 this postseason, and I really like the team.. PG may be the weak point, but Vujacic looks good, and hopefully Atkins comes around, but like the Dodgers trading away Kevin Brown for Jeff Weaver, just get rid of the Glove is addition by subtraction. Even if that SOB cost us Marcus Banks. >=[

  • I gotta say that the Lakers are the favorites out West so far, with the top contenders being the Spurs, and the Rockets with Yao/T-Mac. Houston'll be much improved this year, although they'll miss Francis.

    As for the East I have to say the Heat are the favorites with Detroit and my team the Knicks as the top contenders.

    I bet David Stern and them want a Lakers-Heat final. That'll be big for sure.

  • Vin Baker is pencilled in as the Knicks' Starting center at the moment. If the Knicks acquired Dampier, he would've been the center. But now they're stuck with Baker.
