Legler showing Laker Love?
Showing some love.
Quote:
WEST FINALS
San Antonio vs. Los Angeles Lakers
It is awfully difficult to pick against the Spurs with a Finals appearance on the line, but it's Kobe's year in the West. For much of the same reasons that they match up well with the Hornets, the Lakers have an answer at every position to combat the Spurs' balance offensively.
Ultimately, it will hinge on which team makes plays down the stretch and Kobe Bryant is unmatched in crunch-time situations. Gasol's addition was the piece that put the Lakers over the top. Duncan won't be able to rest against the likes of Kwame Brown or Chris Mihm. He will have to work. As will Ginobili against Kobe. The Lakers finally break through without Shaq, and Phil Jackson gets a shot at his tenth ring. (Lakers in 7)

It's nice to get this kind of recognition but I would rather have us play the role the role of the unproven talented team. All EYES on US.

Re: Legler showing Laker Love?
Everyone is picking the Lakers right now, which is great but the truth is any team that comes out of the West this year will have to have a significant amount of luck.

Why do you think that? I'm curious.

Re: Legler showing Laker Love?
All the teams in the top of the conference, from the #1 to the #9 in the west have the potential to win the West. There are just too many good teams. There are not going to be any gimme series for any team in the playoffs. In order to win 3 series like that you will need to have your shots fall, and you will need to get calls from the refs and the little things need to go your way.
For example, boxing out helps you to get more rebounds, but sometimes, the damn ball just doesnt bounce off the rim in your direction. This year, where every team in the West in the playoffs might have 50 wins, you are going to need a little luck to win games and series.

I'm going to assume he meant Andrew Bynum, but that's just an insult to Bynum.

Yeah, it seems like Legler made a boo boo and changed it.

I haven't heard anything about that. Even if he did come back, wouldn't he be ineligible for the playoffs?

Yeah he wouldn't be available for the playoffs. I don't think they will release him anyways.

Urgh..he and Bill Lambier used to be on Kings Bandwagon. Can't stand him. GA is much better than him to be honest.
