Their bench lacks even though almost everyone on here seems to think they have an elite bench? I think what you're missing is that they don't have one real standout, but they have about 6 solid bench players, who come in, know their role, and know when to pick their shots, and bring a lot of energy.

LOL @ Flip Saunders. He always seems like he's in a really good mood at the press conference after his team loses. It's like it's what he expects to happen. I wonder what would happen if his team won a championship. He'd probably have a nervous breakdown.

Well i'm looking at it this way. every bench player knows what they have to do, and every bench player brings energy. But that is only half the battle. Look st Boston, they bring Sam Cassel in off the bench and "Big Baby"solid players, expereinced (Cassel) and a power house down low (BB) when looking at the Lakers bench i see well rounded players, but i look at other benches and they have expereince and an unstoppable will to score. The lakers roatation flows through Kobe and Kobe only. That's my beef, I'm not saying the bench is terriable but when your entire team's life line is around one player that is when I feel the bench is gonna fail.

The Pistons are so great. Them and the Spurs have saved the NBA. I hope they meet one more time in the finals this year before the new era of stars takes over.

It will be like the 80's all over again soon when Kobe, Lebron, CP3, Deron Williams, and the like dominate the league. But the Pistons and Spurs were special the last 8 years.

Yah, also Carmelo, Wade, Bosh, Oden, Durant maybe Beasley and Rose.

Nah, they're going 1-2 to the Heat and Bulls. I'm hoping we (The Heat) pick up Beasley. Rose is a project with his horrible jumper.

Brook Lopez is getting some attention it seems. As a Stanford fan I hope he drops down, but imagine Al Jafferson and Lopez in the frontcourt a few years down the line...Whew...They could trade down and pick up Love too.
