I hate that term "the team to beat." If any team is that, it's the Spurs, they are the defending champs and they have shown that in the playoffs they are the superior team. I like where the Lakers are going, Gasol seems really happy, Bryant seems really happy, we have a lot of young players, Odom seems to have settled into a great role (Triple Double tonight) and when Fisher is on, he's deadly.

When Bynum gets back our starting 5 is going to be excellent, plus with the recent contributions we have been getting from Vujacic and Radmanovic, this team could go very far into the post season. I don't know of any team in the league that can match up with a 4/5 of Gasol/Bynum for a 7 game series.

Yeah, we have a really deep team right now, something we were missing for a long time, even during the 3 championships. I hope Bynum comes back and can be as effective as he was, he's on his way to being one of the great centers in the league, I would love to sit back in 10-12 years and look at his jersey hanging up in Staples, that's high hopes and a long way away, but the Lakers great teams have always been built around a great center.
