Better Record in 2013-14? Celtics or Lakers?

[Crotchrocker]

LA lost Dwight Howard, Metta World Peace and Earl Clark. They already sucked and all they measurably picked up was Chris Kaman.

C) Chris Kaman, Jordan Hill, Robert Sacre
PF) Pau Gasol
SF) Devin Ebanks, Shawne Williams
SG) Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, Jodie Meeks, Wesley Johnson
PG) Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Jordan Farmar

If you think Mike 'Antoni stunk it up last season on defense, watch what he does this year.

Boston gained Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Kelly Olynyk and Marshon Brooks. They will match the production of Garnett, Pierce and Terry. What they won't do is replace the leadership.

C) Kelly Olynyk, Vitor Faverani
PF) Jared Sullinger, Brandon Bass, Kris Humphries
SF) Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace
SG) Avery Bradley, Courtney Lee, Marshon Brooks, Jordan Crawford
PG) Rajon Rondo, Phil Pressey

Brad Stevens is 10 times the coach Mike D'Strangleme will ever wish to be.

LA Lakers miss the playoffs in 2013-14. Boston gets in the playoffs next season.

C) Edge: Celtics. Kaman is WASHED. Olynyk is NEXT.
PF) Edge: Celtics. Our triumvirate will easily outproduce LA's lone, aging gun.
SF) Edge: Celtics. This is unfair. Green/Wallace will be a top five 3 combo. Does LA have a legit 3?
SG) Edge: Celtics. Fact of business - Kobe is El Finito. We will ALWAYS have fresh, quality legs.
PG) Edge: Celtics. What, are you kidding me? Rajon Rondo is easily the superior of Nash.

Coaching) Edge: Celtics. See comment below.
Fans) Edge: Celtics.
Class) Edge: Celtics.

(Those two go without saying but I'm telling you anyway.)

Better record) Edge: The 17-time World Champion Mighty, Mighty Boston Celtics

Oh, its true - its DAMN true! And WHAT YA GONNA DO, when the greatest franchise in the history of professional sports and Celtic-Mania, runs WILLLDDD On YOUUUUUU?!?!?

Not a fan of either team but if Kobe is playing in the first month of the season and they're able to stay healthy the Lakers will easily have the better record.

It doesn't matter what you think, bk. You are a fairweather follower. Word.

PS - Stop trying to turn this into a Heat thread. I JUST posted it. Word.

The Lakers could go 2-80 and they will finish with a better record than the Celtics!!

Word!!

And bks is right!!

 

[Crotchrocker]

Lakers will do better than 2-80 but realistically, they'll only finish about 39-43. Word.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

give me the celtics all day Rondo is going to go to a new level this year

Who said a word about that team? Me or you?

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Lakers no doubt, Kobe automatically puts them ahead of the Celts.

I don't like either team for this year, I think they both miss the playoffs and will have very similar records, especially since Rondo gets traded before the deadline since he will be miserable (and make everyone around him miserable) playing with this lineup after having Pierce, Garnett, and Allen previously.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

The Celtics calling the Lakers fucked up is really the pot calling the kettle black. The Celtics gave up on Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnet, lost Doc Rivers and no longer have Ray Allen and Rondo is going to e demanding a trade very soon. That miserable pile of shit in Boston isn't going anywhere in 2014

The Los Angeles Sparks is ahead of the Celtics right now

 

[Hambombs]

Tough to say a healthy Kobe probably gies the lakers the advantage but he's probably going to struggle coming off dat ACL injury so it's a wash really. Celtics are still a decent team

 

[Shanemansj13]

So your question is which team will suck more. I think the Lakers will have a better record. But both won't be close to make playoffs and that is saying more for the Celtics since it is easier to get in in the East.

 

[Crotchrocker]

No dice. Kobist will be the miserable one. Steve Nash is about as useful as tits on a boar. Pau Gasol is done. Their only hope is to sign Lamar Odom. Word.

 

[Crotchrocker]

I can picture us playing at a much higher level than you boys think. Rondo's style will make things run smooth. We'll probably finish with a much better record than we did last season! You LA boys don't know diddly about synergy. Word.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Rondo will probably get traded to the Lakers lol.

 

[Crotchrocker]

The Lakers would have to have ASSETS to acquire Rondo. Not only will Rondo remain a Celtic, but the Lakers won't be getting ANYBODY via trade. What's worse, now that they have been exposed for washed up bums, nobody will want to play there. Think about it. Who in their right mind (this means not Odom) would want to play with Jordan Hill, Jodie Meeks and Andrew Goudelock as their future running buddies?!? Ha! You boys are FAWWNNY! Word.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

LAKERS will win at least 5 more games than the Celtics.

The Lakeshow will not be a contender and probably mediocre.

But, Boston is going to be a 20 win dumpster fire. They will be down in Wizards and Bobcats world.
