If the defense stays home, whoever is guarding Bynum will have to step up to stop Kobe, so that means a lob pass to Bynum. If not, whoever is guarding Lamar/Derek will have to stop the ball, and that means a wide open shot or a drop pass to a cutting Lamar. This team is going to murder from every angle. Analysts and commentators are already raving about the offensive juggernauts that are the Lakers, but next year is when we'll really show how good we are. I stand by my words... we are going to BEAST.

It's easy to say that on paper... well, a message board in this case. But that won't work out that easy. Bynum still has to prove himself and Pau is good but not a super star. 19 a night. He can't just do everything. And with all these players, Kobe will go down. He'll still be great but he won't be as much of a high factor. Probably takes off the pressure but still... It won't work. To win a championship, you usually need 2 or more super stars or at least a super star and a star. Pau isn't that guy. Just my opinion.
