If there is any justice in this world, then, HELL NO!

The responses left one out: "playoffs?"

Let's get real, the Lakers season was over before it started
They tried to piggy back off the Heat getting all star players. But there is no chemistry period.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will make the NBA Play offs before the Lakers this year and they are a hockey team! Terrible!!!

Question was just mean.

I find it funny I had never heard of the penguins before this and yet I knew they were a hockey team :D

Right, you want to re-think that statement? The Lakers have almost always had a star-studded offensive threat, save for a couple of off years when they only had Kobe Bryant. I say "only" derisively, by the way. The Spurs have had, arguably, the three best players in their position in the League for the past 10 years. The Lakers tried doing the same and they lost to a balanced Detroit team. The next team to do it was the Celtics, who got a Championship out of it.

The Lakers past two championships have relied on height, which they have in spades. Up until D'Antoni, who favors smaller squads, arrived the Lakers were probably going to be fine. I guarantee if they switched back to the Triangle with either Phil Jackson or Brian Shaw coaching and played Dwight and Pau together, they would leading the West.

Being an actual Laker fan, I can admit that no, they won't make it to the playoffs.

MIAMI HEAT!!!!!!!!!

If we're talking L.A., we should be talking about the Clippers, a team that might actually get win the Western Conference this year.

the lakers suck as bad as cali wine :D
