Lots of hope in this thread for the Lakers. I also hope they make it to the finals but let's be real, they'll be lucky to even make the playoffs now. And that would be a huge embarrassment.
I'm really feeling strong about the Lakers this season, their offense has been really something to behold and I think beyond that they're a really well balanced team with some good ringers. It'll be interesting to see though.
I'm not convinced it will be Nets Vs Lakers. I like the Suns or possibly Mavs out of the West. The Bucks are my sleeper out of the East, although very likely the Nets take jt.
