Plus, Odom is averaging 18 ppg/7.5 rpg/7.5 apg on 54.5% shooting and 46.2% 3 pt. shooting so if Kobe was playing bad Odom would beat them.

Because I watched all 144 minutes of the three games the Kings have played the Lakers after the trade, I think the Lakers are a better team than the Kings.And a question to all of you who say the Kings are better, did you watch those three games?
Who cares about those 3 games? it took a while for the Kings to gain chem. with Artest coming over. He is still the best perim. defender in the League and I think, yes, he would tire Kobe out.They have the greater all around team and they are better. It's just that all Laker fans are really biased.

Artest can not tire Kobe out, no one in the league can stop Kobe except himself. He stops himself by taking those 30 foot fadeaways and making other stupid decisions.Plus, you never answered my question. Did you watch all three of those Lakers-Kings games?
Yes. Artest is the best defender in the League. i don't care about 2 games where Kobe played well against him. In a 7 game series, Artest will really tire him out. No I didn't watch all of those Lakers/Kings games. I live on the East coast. I don't think it matters at all if I saw those games.

You're arguing that the Kings are better than the Lakers when you haven't even watched them play eachother. You just lost all credibility.
Lakaboy, chill. There are two games left in the season where the Lakers can beat the Kings, that'll prove it. Who cares what the Kings have on paper, even with Artest they haven't been playing that great. I don't care if they need their chemistry going, the Lakers still need their chemistry to work too. Triangle offense takes two years to figure out, so far there are only 4 players who have played for Jackson for 2 years or more. Kobe, Devean George, Luke Walton, and Brian Cook. And the Lakers have a possibility of beating any team in the league with Kobe Bryant. They beat the Spurs, the Mavs, The Pistons, the Kings, the Nuggets, the Wolves, etc...

Why don't you take the blindfold off?
It's not being biased, Artest cannot tire Kobe. The only time artest can tire kobe is if kobe's in a slump.The person who always comes to play against us is Mike bibby, god i hate him.

Sacremento Kings Without Kobe the Lakers would be carried by Smush Parker and Lmar Odom and they wouldn't do a good job of carrying it, while Kings have a balanced team with Wells and Bibby leading the way.
Wells? Wells doesn't carry the team at all. That was one of the dumbest things I've heard. Bibby and Miller carry the team game in and out. And now Artest is starting to as well.Who cares what the Lakers would be if they didn't have Kobe. If the Kings didn't have Bibby, they'd be screwed over too, because they don't have bobby Jackson anymore. point is, Kobe is on the team and that's what makes the Lakers better because if a team has Kobe they have a chance of winning every single ball game.
Kobe is the only one who contributes each game. If you played the Kings you would lose in a 5 game series. They have a very good overall roster and in the playoffs Artest would turn his defense up a notch and tire out Kobe and hold him to about 30 points each game.
Guys, if 6 or 7 players are contributing night in and night out, no ONE is carrying the team. The kings show less dependency on one player. If one guy goes cold, the others can pick up the slack. the kings are better.
^^Odom can take over, that's if he decided he wanted to.edit: Look at the sacramento vs lakers series in 2002-2003. I am not comparing how good those teams were but look how talented that team was. Besides Shaq and Kobe that team was weak, with guys like samaki walker and lindsey hunter. Who won? Who did everyone think was going to win?
what a stupid comment. both teams are completely different. LAL had Shaq in his <Censored> prime for christ's sake. The kings team was also very different.
You can't be serious. The Lakers and Kings rosters from 02-03 are much different. That's a ridiculous comparison to what we're talking about.
