Will the Lakers win the finals this year?

They will either play Boston or Detroit.

Will the Lakers win the finals this year?nba championships

Let's wait and see if they can win four more games against the east champ so we don't have to speculate if they will win the finals!

Will the Lakers win the finals this year?nba game ,nba teams

As a long time Laker hater (Showtime days), I'm tempted to shout no like some of these others, but I'll refrain. I've been watching them closely in these playoffs and this team is young and scrappy, their bench is deep and they have Kobe. If Boston played San Antonio in the Finals, San Antonio wins in 5 or 6, but the Lakers finished San Antonio off in 5 games, and they could do the same to Boston, who's more talented, but not as tough or well coached as San Antonio was. So LA it is.
I have to say the LAKERS. They really do have what it takes to beat either team. Boston is great, but they have grotesque weaknesses that the lakers can sniff out and seize.Detroit plays jeckl and hyde basketball and has no real sense of consistencey. That much can be said of the celtics. The lakers also have the best away record and only detroit is close to matching that. Besides, The lakers took out the champs in 5 (no diesrespect to S.A). What makes you think they cant do the same to either team?
I don't think so, and I'm a Lakers' fan. Picking with my head, not my heart. The 2-3-2 format works against Lakers. Need at least a split on the road, not likely to sweep middle games at home, would still need to win again on the road to capture title. That's a lot to ask. Oh, and for the record, I pick Boston in the East.
most of you say hopefully? uncertain fans of selfish team.

Boston will win.

not a boston fan though.
I think they will split in Boston giving LA home court, then LA will sweep tne following 3 in LA. Kobe wants to close it in his home court in game 5.
They will play boston and lakers will win in 5 games...

4-1
NO. BOSTON WILL WIN!
i have a feeling that the lakers are going to take it all the way this year....hopefully!
Yeah hopefully.
lakers, baby!!!!!
yes because on david sterns script, it says that the lakers will be champs! nba is new wwe!
naa the celtics will win
NO
yes cause they have the MVP
GO LAKERS GO!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK HOME BOYS!!!!! MVP WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

When is the Last time the Lakers won the Title and who was the Finals MVP?

It was 2002 %26amp; Shaquille O'Neal was the MVP. He was the MVP 2000, 2001, and 2002: the years that L.A. won the title.

Can hornets beat the lakers. what about the spurs because one of them gotta beat the lakers?

i dont care what team goes to semi finals but i just dont want the lakers to go to the finals. i hate them and i got money against them

Can hornets beat the lakers. what about the spurs because one of them gotta beat the lakers?ncaa

Well, I'm a lakers fan so i cant really give you a straight answer but id say the hornets have a better chance to beat the lakers.

Hating a Team?..you need help. It is just a Game. Get a grip on yourself.

Even though the lakers lost you have to give them some respect for that comeback late in the game?

Even if you are a Laker Or Celtics fan give some respect

Even though the lakers lost you have to give them some respect for that comeback late in the game?fan gear

yeah you do but i wouldnt go overboard. comebacks happen alot. especially after a really big lead. and they ended up losing in the end which isnt good enough. if they won then i would be mad impressed. i would even hate kobe a little less

Even though the lakers lost you have to give them some respect for that comeback late in the game?nba draft ,nba teams

It wasn't so much what the Lakers did in the 4th, it was what the Celtics didn't do. And that was continue to be aggressive and dominate the game until the very end.

Boston was lucky to end up pulling out the win. But no more lucky than LA to even have the opportunity of a comeback after they played so horribly most of the game. Sorry, but LA hasn't quite earned much yet.
Yeah they came alive in the fourth period. Now you notice at the end of the game Kobe still passed up the shot so Fisher could shoot the three so I had to give him some respect because I used to hate him from hearing this from the announcers: Kobe with the three-pointer ahh Kobe missed oh Kobe has the ball back and he makes the mid-range jumper. Looks like Kobe stole the ball from his own teammate" yah stealing the ball from your own teammate is not such a good idea.
you have to respect the lakers for the fight they put up.

i was watching, celtics were up 20 sum odd points with about 6 minutes left, i turned around and did some homework, i turn back and its a 2 possession game. i was shocked by both the lakers comeback and by the fackt boston let them get so close.

go celtics!
LA made a good comback but like the interview said we Celtics let up to coast we cant do that we gotta play every minute like we need to win!

yes, but then they got to win 3 in LA and one in Boston or 2 of 3 in LA and the last 2 in Boston which will be tough

The Good Lord knows, and with two injured Celtics leading Boston LA will get an early lead but can they hold it, as Garnet keeps rolling with Perkins feeding and being fed.

Kobe is good but he may have to get even gooder.

peace in Jesus amazing grace John chapters 3, 10 %26amp; 6 repented of even one lie and let Jesus in to the heart to be your best friend, amen

more abundant life and with Jesus no matter what you win!
The only thing that matters is Wins and Losses.....A 40 point win is no better than a 1 point win...when its all said and done....If you have watched the Celtics this season, you would notice that almost every game they get a big league, they are horrible at keeping it.......
at the end of the day, history books will not remember the EFFORT you gave in winning the game, what only matters is winning the game...so lakers, no matter how hard you tried to win the game, still, you lose
You don't give a team respect for the play in garbage time! Yeah it was nice to think they might actually pull it out but they should never of been in that place to begin with!
Inspirational that all it is. we are the lakers that's what we do wait in see the next 3 game then you will be more amazed.
Lakers was able to come back because Celtics stopped playing. Once Boston realize that the game is not over yet, they played the game the way they should and was able to stopped Lakers.
i give them respect but it annoys me because if the refs had called it fairly then the lakers would have won
When the refs removed themselves from the equation, a basketball game broke out. They came back just in time to decide the game though.
Respect doesn't win games. Celtic will win series in 6 games.
For sure. Both teams did a phenominal job. But, Boston just came out as the better team.
I do. AWESOME 4th for the Lakers. Nearly pulled it off there!
Should give both teams respect!!!

they made it this far!!

they deserve it!!
Yea. Wow that was amazing. Great game.
Yup as a Laker fan i am happy they almost comeback , just shows they have it in them
Absolutely!! And I will not even blame the refs like the Lakers fans like to cry about.

Go Celtics!!!
the lakers suck and they deserve no credit
im a Laker fan n god i wish we woulda won. but, Kobe dropped 30 like i predicted. we'll win at least 2 in LA.
Almost doesn't count.
yeah everyone thought it was over, but the Lakers proved them wrong

Good Game for both teams
yeah that was amazing
ummm..no i dont..lol j/k but i dont like sports :p
it was unexpected. They showed that they still got heart to take the next 3 games at home.

Lakers???????????

Do you think Lakers are a good team? WHY?!

i think they rock, hahahaha.

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lakers???????????nba warriors

They are a good team, right now along with the Spurs, they are playing the best basketball in the NBA. There are still some 20 games left though and with the race so close right now, they could drop to a 5 seed in a few games. I do think they or the Spurs will finish #1 in the West though. It is nice to see that The Lakers brass finally got Gasol to help out Kobe. Still, the Werst is going to be an extremely tough battle this year. Kobe is still the best player in the NBA.

Lakers???????????nba records ,nba teams

THE LAKERS ARE WINNING THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!

thelakersnation.com
only the best in the NBA
Yes , there starting unit is very strong. Kobe and Fisher, one of the better guard combinations. Also one of the better frontlines, in Bynum,Gasol, and Odom. Walton , farmer, and Turiaf off the bench. Could use a shooter off the bench!
The Lakers have always been a great team! Their tradition is about winning championships - they've the 2nd most championships in NBA history and are the winningest team in NBA history. They are a franchise with a history of winning, some great loyal fans, and it looks like the Lakers are back!!!

i can't wait to hang a couple of more banners up in the Staples Center and hopefully we'll catch the Celtics for the most NBA championships by the end of the decade.

They have great chemistry and are playing hard which had been a little lacking the last couple of years. I really like the cast of players they have and with Ariza and Bynum coming back they can be a force to reckon with in the playoffs!

GO LAKERS!!!

Nickster
1st reason: they have kobe

2nd gasoul
they are a great team, Kobe is on fire and the rest of the team is playing around him, i think the lakers can go all the way
YES! the BEST in the WEST..........
I do think they are a good team. I think at the moment they are playing some of the best basketball in the league. I think the Gasol trade has worked out really well, given them a good inside presence, given KB24 something to work with. I think when Bynum comes back, this trade will look even better than it does right now. They are playing a team oriented game which suits them a lot better. The pick and roll with Kobe and Gasol, is one of the most unstoppable moves in basketball right now. I do question their depth though. They are a really solid team through the first 7 players, but a little suspect after that. They should go deep in to the playoffs though....
lakers aren't good..

their greeeaat

LIKE FROSTED FLAKES

: ]
Kayla is an idiot to assumed that most fans of the lakers are only fans of Kobe.

As long as the lakers are based in Los Angeles I will remain a Lakers fan.

Just because the team is doing well and Kobe is great, doesn't mean all fans only has a rooting interest in Kobe
big Lakers fan, maybe a little bias (and by a little imean a lot)

of course theyre a good team, tied for 1st in the west, and the have kb24, so thats a definite YES

LETS GO LAKERS!!!
Of course there good they have the best player in Kobe and are gonna get even better when they get Bynum
hell yes they r the shzi i am a diehart laker fan they rock the socks off the building!!! and all the haters jsu hate bcuz the team they liek prob suxs and i love the lakers they r so great i am a fan no matter wat happens to them win or loose i am still a fan!!!!! GOOOO LAKERS
i think you rock too for thinking the lakers rock
Yes. Because they have a good record.
Of course they have a good team they have good players at every position especially sense they got Gasol. They have a deep bench once they all get healthy and they're pretty good. Last but no least the Lakers have the best player on the planet on their team.
They are a good team now and I love it. The one season a few years back when they missed the playoffs, I lost all interest in the NBA postseason because I had no one to root against. Now they are back to the playoffs and they keep finding exciting new ways to lose a first round series. They are just good enough to make the playoffs, where they keep finding creative ways to falter. I love it.
I dont know bout you guys

but I think the NBA owes Kobe the 2007, 2006, 2005 MVPs
They are but the Celtics are even Better, so much better they are in the Playoffs by beating Detroit.

GO CELTICS
of course they are good. They just will never be as good as Jordan's Bulls. but that doesnt stop them from being a great team tho, certainly much better than the stupid SUns!
don't you mean you think kobe rocks? people only like the lakers cuz kobe..

Who should be brought to the lakers to make a good team for next season?

curt rambis..

Lakers are already a good team, they are just young. Phil Jackson will make them championship material soon enough. Give them about three years.
Kevin Garnett
any good big man
Trade Bryant for a very descent PG. Then a great rebounder and your set.
phil jakson.
someone at the center and power forward position.

If you live in LA which team really represents you more: Lakers vs Celtics?

Celtics - Every one from the U.S.

From California

Ray Allen - Merced, California

Paul Pierce - Oakland, California

Leon Powe - Oakland, California

Eddie House - Berkeley, California

Gabriel Pruitt - Los Angeles, California

Brian Scalabrine - Long Beach, California

Lakers - players from: spain, france, congo, serbia, slovenia

From California only 2

Jordan Farmar - Los Angeles, California

Luke Walton - San Diego, California

So how do the (F)akers represent California?

If you live in LA which team really represents you more: Lakers vs Celtics?nba news

Your point is obvious, and a good one. However people root for a team more than the individual players that it is comprised of. So rooting for the Lakers means rooting for your city. People aren't as concerned who or where the people come from, because once they are there, they become part of the team, and part of the city.

Bottom line- The Lakers (although i like your thinking)

If you live in LA which team really represents you more: Lakers vs Celtics?nba all star game ,nba teams

They represent LOS ANGELES! thats why! game 5 here we come! GO LAKERS!!!.........AHHH LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOME LAKER HATERS.... ITS OK.
celtics alot more than the lakers
If I am a relative of any Celtics, I will root for the Celtics. No matter what.
Wow, that's pretty funny. But you have to think about it, Kobe's from Philly, but how long has he been in LA playing basketball? His entire 12 seasons, Odom's been there for a while as well but you have to realize that they are there to get paid to play basketball. If they were traded or drafted somewhere else, sure enough they would represent that basketball team not the city.
Lol! they rep cali more then they do! they def need to win sunday then lol
