Lakers True or False

I'll say True, the only question mark I have is Kwame, but he should be there...

T/F: Lakers get to WCFs (pretty sure we haven't done this one, lol)

 

False, we aren't that good yet.

T/F
We make another first round exit.

 

I really think it depends on who we come across, I'll say false for optimism, but definately gone by Round 2.

...I'm out, I'll leave it for someone else.

 

tuff one but ill say false. simply because of the hype of wade winning a chip.


T/F
The lakers meet the heat in th finals before shaq retires?

 

False, Heat will not make it to the finals next year simply because Shaq will be mentally and physically out of shape.

T/F Odom's game will reflect more of Magic Johnson rather than Scottie Pippin. (note: I am not suggesting Odom will be a reincarnate of Magic, just a minor reflection).

 

Fact, to me Odom is a great player who plays like Majic Johnson because he is an all-around player.

T/F: Kobe Bryant will retire as a Laker.

 

True. Kobe is like KG. His heart lies in his beginnings.

T/F
Andrew Bynum while not a bust, will not live up to his expectations.

 

I'm gonna say false, I didn't expect much out of him to begin with because I knew that Phil would give him very little minutes. I think he'll turn out just fine.

T/F- Kobe will surpass Kareem's all time points scored.

 

I'm also going to say false on this one that's a record that seems untouchable

TorF Phil Jackson retires with the Lakers

 

True, I don't think Phil is in a stable enough medical state to constantly travel and deal with the stress of coaching an NBA team. I think he'll sign a one year extension with us and then retire.

T/F: We'll see an "All-Star" player sign for us within the next two season's.

 

False - i dont know about signing but im sure you can get an all-star in a trade.

T/F - lakers will meet the clippers in the playoffs and win the series.

 

True. This one's hard to say yes to because they might not meet each other. I'm confident both will be in the playoff's and both will finish around the same position. The Clippers have the slight edge as a team but when they play the Lakers, we have the advantage.

T/F - Odom will play as a power forward next season.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting bruin007:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm also going to say false on this one that's a record that seems untouchable</div>While you may think that, he's actually on pace to do it. He's the youngest ever to pretty much everything right now....something LeBron will take from him here shortly. Regardless, he is on pace to do it.

That's true. Odom's the best post player and best rebounder we have. Taking him out of the post wouldn't make sense.

True or False: The Lakers have multiple 20ppg scorers.

 

False- I think Odom can come close, but I still think he'll average 17-18 PPG.

T/F: Nike will come out with a 24/7 commercial for Kobe and Odom.

 

Good question, I think it can happen so I'll say true. It's a catchy image and Nike will be the first to do it if anyone.

T/F, Kobe wins MVP of the All Star game.

 

false.....Kobe will probably play the all star game like he did this year....i doubt he'll take over because people would probably end up critizing him.

T/F- The media will have, for the most part, forgotten about Kobe's past scandal...and KB8 (or should i say KB24) will be recognized as a good guy.

 

True, as long as he gets the minutes.

T/F Someone on the team will have a scandel exposed nation wide.

 

False. I can't see a scandal in taking drugs. If they were taking drugs, they must be taking the type of drugs that make you play bad instead of good. I don't think there will be anything like rape. The players are too aware of the situation with Kobe Bryant and Kwame Brown being in those situations already.

T/F: The Lakers will finish as one of the top five in the West next season.
