Theres no comparison.. THE CAVS ARE A BETTER TEAM! They are a defensive team! #1 in rebounds, and they did have as much injury issues as the Lakers.<BR/><BR/>Kwame- ankle (just did surgery).<BR/>Odom- shoulder<BR/>Luke-ankle<BR/>Vlad- shoulder & brain<BR/>Mihm- don't know where but he's been out for at least 2years.<BR/><BR/>There whole starting lineup (excluding KOBE) were/are injured.<BR/><BR/>

If we're going by matchups, Kobe alone can defeat the Mavericks. <BR/><BR/>I have a hard time believing that a healthy Laker team would lose to the Cavaliers.

It's ok to disagree. The bottom line here is that the Lakers would have lost to the Cavaliers, and most would argue that the Pistons were the East's best team -- only the matchups with the Cavs did them in.<BR/><BR/>As for the Nets, the Lakers barely beat them in their regular season match-ups all the way back in November and December -- when they were still playing good and before both the

I disagree. <BR/><BR/>The Nets and Pistons are nothing compared to the Phoenix Suns. <BR/><BR/>The Nets only have Jason Kidd and the inconsistent Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter. They couldn't stop LeBron. Kobe would KILL them.<BR/><BR/>The Pistons would have been more of a challenge, true, but with the horrible defense that Flip was coaching, Brian Cardinal could have put on a show.<BR/><BR/>

JP, sounds like I struck a nerve of both accords. Suns 10 times tougher than anything Lebron faced? A little exaggeration there, no doubt. Hard to believe the Lakers would have even beaten the Cavs with their performance in the playoffs. The definitely would not have gotten past the Nets or the Pistons.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I did not say I would not cheer for the Lakers next year -- you

By the way, Kobe is number 24, in case you never realized. <BR/><BR/>-JP

LeBron is in the East. You understand that? The Lakers faced the Suns, 10 times tougher that any team the Cavs faced on their road to the finals. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, a lot of executives and rich people won't be buying tickets, but screw them. They're not real fans. I'll be cheering from the nosebleeds baby.
