I'm too lazy to go through and bold what I think will be every win, since anything can happen during the course of the season and a lot of things can change from what we perceive now but I definetly think the Lakers can beat last year's record...I think they'll reach around 50...54 seems right but we'll see.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheBlackMamba:</div><div class="quote_post"> Total Record: 54 Wins, 28 Losses.</div> Nice, I got 53 wins, 29 losses myself, no lie. I tried to spontaneously account for a missed game or two by some of the role players. Hopefully the lakers finish in the top half, I'd be fine if we just made it to the second round/WCF.
Man, whenever the schedules get released they get me pumped about the upcoming season... here's to 53 wins!
I'm looking for somewhere in the 50-55 win range. I think we have a strong enough team this year, enough depth, and beyond that, a year under the triangle is helpful as well. I think Odom will be better this year than last, I can see Kwame putting up the numbers he put up in the playoffs, and I think if Smush ends up as the starter, he'll play better and more consistent knowing he finally has some competition as the starter.
