Would like to know the opinions out there? Plus the top East teams still have an advantage over the West favorites at this time imo.

Lakers

i wonder how team Wretchyroll is doing.

You didn't ask who has a chance.

ummm cuz they won the west last year without bynum

They had the best record in the west WITHOUT Bynum...

What are you missing here?

I like a healthy Spurs team over a 50%/Bynumless Lakers team. But that would require the Spurs to stay healthy and that's never a given.

I would not in a million years put money on a T-Mac team versus a Bryant team.

I agree that a healthy Spurs team could take them down.......and definitely would not win the championship against Boston or Cavs

yea teams have improved but im not going to put teams like houston/new orleans/utah who hasn't gone to the finals yet over a team like the lakers who have done it...sure they can and i wouldn't be surprised if the lakers didnt make the finals but right now u have to have them as the favorite...and of course any team that comes out of the west has a chance to beat any team that comes out of the east, whichever team has home court advantage in the finals will most likly win imo

Lakers - but not as much as before.

the only thing that worries me is that its the lakers 3rd road game in 4 days and they might not have the legs to play with an up tempo team like the knicks but if i were to bet id take the lakers but would prob stay away from this one

im gonna stay away

LMAO @ the OP.
