You don't seriously think the Lakers will make the finals, do you?? Surely Phoenix, San Antonio and Dallas are before them.
In the East, Boston are definitely a good show.. as are Detroit. To a lesser extent, Cleveland - but these 3 are the only serious challengers you'd have to think.

Originally posted by AussieGLakers just got Pau Gasol today. Do you see it now? Lakers are definitely contenders; Fish, Kobe, Odom, and the twin towers, Bynum and Gasol. The Lakers and their "big four" will go to the Finals this year!

Originally posted by MoneyManMikeWell, I didn't know that at the time of my post. I still don't think they will go all the way to the finals but yes, they are a contender but I wouldn't say a top contender though. If the Lakers were in the Eastern conference, they'd be a better show of making it to the finals.

Originally posted by AussieGNot contenders, they now have the best record in the west. They are the hottest team right now and have an 8 game win streak. Not to mention they had that 130-124 win against Phoenix last week which would put them ahead of Phoenix if they had tied records cause they won the series between the two. They could make it all the way even without Bynum, but Bynum will make them that much stronger and even more of a contender.
