There's no reason to panic, The Lakers will make the playoffs. Matter of fact, I say they'll make it to the 2nd round. Yes, I'm going to make a prediction, BEFORE the Lakers even get any inside help.

2) I'm pissed off because they went from possible Finals, to just making the second round because Bryant wasn't happy.
Anyways, if you cannot understand logic, it's not my fault. We'll let the season do the talking.

Are you saying the lakers should have gave shaq that 28+million dollare per year contract he wanted? for a 32+year old centre?.. That alone would eat up about 3/4 of the salary cap (if thats the wrong percentage then u know wat i mean )
Personally I think Kobe is mistaken for a ballhog, because he fills out the stat sheet, not through just scoring, but he also distributes the ball and plays the pg role alot of the time. True that means he has the ball in his hands alot of the time. But would you prefer Devean George taking all the shots? Kobe just has all the tools that the team needs
1. Kobe is my favorite player!!! and he will or i say he must average a little more. not in scoring but in passing and other aspect of the game. yes opposing team will double or triple team him, letting other players in lakers to beat him. and thats what must lakers GM do, surround kobe with good players.
You people are unbeleivable.

Lakers probably wont be as good, buts it not coz of the way kobes plays, or the pressure he will get with no shaq, it'll be coz there centre is 6'8 at best, there pf is really sf no matter how good he was last year.
I cant wait to see Caron Butler in Laker uniform, if hes a paul pierce type player like he was compared to, watching him and kobe will be sweet.
The Heat wont be as good as everyone thinks.
so they have shaq?
big deal, wheres the depth??
They have Shaq,Haslem,R.Butler,Jones,Wade as a possible 5.
Bench???..................................??????............??
Rafer is gone, so who is gonna give relief at the point?Bimbo Coles
this is there bench atm, Malik Allen,Jerome Beasley,Bimbo Coles,Michael Doleac,Matt Freije,Albert Miralles,Samaki Walker,John Wallace,Dorell Wright and Wang Zhizhi............................HAHAAHAAHHAHAAH
wtf is that?
Malik Allen is the best there.
They better make some moves to get deeper or there stuffed, we saw the ex-shaq team suffer from this for the last 2 years.
By the way, whoever said "i cant wait to see Wade explode into stardom, just to see how overhyped kobe was" is really ignorant.
Wade was already exploding into stardom, with or without shaq
and ya try and call yaself a real fan
honestly neither team will do anything drastic this year, i see a possibly 2nd rnd exit for lakers(unless they can find a centre taller than 6'8) and same with Heat(probably finals if they can get some names\depth on that bench)
I never said the Lakers would be better without Shaq, although I think there is the possibility that they could be better than anyone is giving them credit for.
Wade+Aging Shaq to Weak East is what Kobe+Prime Shaq was to dominant west
If you don't like the heat then get out the kitchen.
My prediction (hopefully) will be that Kobe can trust his teammates more
