Weekly Poll #1

[.GR]

Bringing this back. Discuss.

Lakers.

I think defending champs should always start at #1, unless they change the team drastically.

 

[Mexi]

Lakers are defending champs.

yes, all those teams improved, but so did the Lakers.

lets see. defending champs + an even better team than last year?

no brainer

 

[footballplaya52]

defending champs

if they lost kobe i would change my mind however lol

 

[elcheato]

Cavs obviously, we aren't infected with bums like Shannon Brown.

But it's the Lakers lol

 

[Dice-J]

They are the same team as they were when they won the 'Ship, with Rasheed instead of Powe.

 

[$tunna]

No "Other" Choice? lol

The Celtics were the same team last year as well.. When your 3 best players are over the age of 30 and on the decline, you're most likely going to see injuries. Not to mention Rashweed is one lazy guy..

 

[Dice-J]

And if no injuries happen? What kind of Celtics team do we see?

 

[elcheato]

And if no injuries happen? What kind of Celtics team do we see?

One that is going to lose to the Cavs in the ECF..

 

[.GR]

No "Other" Choice? lol

No. There is no logical choice besides these teams. Lol. Unless you by "other" you mean the Kings?

 

[Rios15]

The Raptors lol.

it's lakers
this is like a no brainer. you dont have to like them or think they're better than the c's, but they have to be no. 1 in the rankings as of now

x2. Couldnt have put it better myself.

 

[yezzir]

Come on now, of course we should be #1. We're the Champs and we got better just like the Cavs and the Celtics. Easily the Lakers.

 

[elcheato]

They didn't get better like those teams.. The Lakers added a piece that may make them better.. Replacing a key player with someone else doesn't always go right.. The Cavs upgraded with Shaq, then Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon are good signings for depth, and then Leon Powe will also be with the Cavs around the all-star break, a quality big off the bench.. The Celtics added Rashweed and Marquis Daniels who will both be impact players off the bench, and didn't lose a thing like the Cavs...

But the Lakers are still #1.

 

[420]

Lakers are the #1, IMO, and the team to beat any given night.

I say they go for championship #16 this year.
