Bryant and Shaq are back, but malones not gonna be for a while, he was an excellent rebounder for them but i think they can manage with the other three....any thoughts?

The Lakers will continue to be hurt all year...Shaq is aging, Malone has been brittle latley, then you have Kobe Bryant's trail heating up...Who would have thought GP would be there guy.

Shaq is aging? Have you even watched a game.. I know you haven't.. Shaq looks like he's in excellent shape! This guy looks 75lbs lighter then he was last year.. I was shocked he kept in shape during his missed games. Malone is injured.. but isn't brittle a bit.. this guy was made of stone.. till a goofy bastard landed on his knee...out of bounds none the less!! (Lakers may be picking up this goofy bastard soon  ) Kobe's trial heating up? It's not heating up.. theres no more hoop-la about this then there was the day it happened! This trial won't even happen till after the season.. and Kobe will be found not guilty.. There's no proof, other then her word against his. I would be completely dumbfounded if he was CONVICTED guilty of ANYTHING.. not cause it's Kobe.. I would feel the same, with any other player.. even if it was Vin Baker.. NBA fans fear the Lakers.. so they make things up.. |

Just because you are in shape doesnt mean you cant be aging. Karl Malone is in great shape but is aging and same goes to Shaq. He is getting hammered game in and game out and his body is showing him that he may just be getting a little too old for that kind of punishment to his body. I do think the Lakers will pull off a streak of winning games sooner or later, but to talk championships for this team I just dont think they have what it takes this year. Dont get me wrong I am definetly not counting this team out, but you guys say that if the Lakers are healthy come playoff time then there really isnt much you can do to stop this team. Well you guys are right, but the only problem is is that the Lakers will not be healthy, I can almost guarentee it. The team is too old and with Kobe's off the court problems I just dont think that even the Lakers have enough magic/luck to pull out a championship this year.
