I really think having hibbert is a game changer for us. We should be able to score with the best of teams this season and now with hibbert it will be very difficult to score on us. If upshaw can learn quickly we would be able to force offenses toward our centers all game long. |

Gee, 5 polls on the first page, incredible that someone (mods) doesn't make a forum just for them cause 95% of members don't even vote on them anyway! It makes the board look not so interesting! _________________ My Laker squad.

Prior to Summer League, I thought you had us making the playoffs.

We won 21 last season while trying to lose, we could have won closer to 30 if we were trying to win. I don't see this team doing worse with the vets we added. |

Agreed. Might be interesting to ask, "If you could choose the number of (regular season only) games the Lakers would win next year, what would that number be?"
Choose, e.g., 10, and we probably keep our super-low lottery pick, get another young stud. Yet another young stud and maybe next year's free agents think we're a promising franchise to join, or maybe they think we're the 76ers.
Choose e.g. 82, we set a record, get no first-round pick, get crushed in the playoffs (the magic runs out after the regular season), but the kids get some valuable playoff experience and maybe next year's free agents think we're a winning team worth joining. |

It really depends on how much run BS gives the young guns. But I'll predict 31-51. |

Depends on the schedule.
If the early season schedule is heavy on weak teams that will still be trying to win, then the schedule for February, March and April will be heavy on powerhouse teams.
If the early season schedule is heavy on powerhouse teams, then the schedule for February, March and April will have a heavier weighting of weak teams that have given up by mid season and are positioning for the Lottery.
Probably a few more wins for the Lakers in the second scenario than in the first scenario. |

28-33 games. Everyone who has >7 game spread isn't quite understanding the point of the thread. Saying somewhere between 20-40 games isn't much of prediction. _________________ "I don’t give a [expletive] what you say.

30-35 games. If Kobe goes down again, then 20-25. |

not too many I suppose. 45+ would be a surprise. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

I think some people are underestimating the effect Lin and Ed Davis had on the floor for us last year. I agree we were trying to lose last year but the player's weren't and I don't necessarily think this year's roster is as good as last year. Brandon Bass is a decent addition but he's no Davis. Lou Williams is no Lin. I'm gonna give Hibbert a chance before judging. So I would guess similar record to last year given that we have less to tank for (worst record not necessarily guarenteeing a pick) so I think we will see less "experimental" lineups lol probably 25ish wins |

20-25 games. Basically this is a good college team playing in NBA, and in West conference. |

I think around 30, so I'll be generous and give them 30-35. |

+1? |
I would argue that. He has a higher +/- and eye-test-wise is a better playmaker/defender from what I've seen of Lou, but to be fair I've only seen only a couple games so that's a pretty small sample size |

Jeremy just seems a little, low energy for me. Well, outside of linsanity of course.
Lin has a higher +/-?? If it turned out he didn't, would you change your statement about Lin > Williams? |
