I know it's ludicrous to judge off of two preseason games, but we looked capable of stinking it up in stretches - even with our first team. A lot of hero ball and risky passes resulted in way too many turnovers, and Denver constantly had a wide open shooter behind the 3. The Nuggets looked sharp - flying to loose balls and grabbing rebounds on both ends. These new guys in Purp and *bright yellow* are pros, but so were Dwight, Nash, Malone and Payton.
Am I sounding too kpmcleanish?
I wish we could've got Karl in his prime. I still can't believe we lost to the Pistons in 2004 with Kobe and Shaq on that Roster. I think teams like the Jazz, Thunder, and Nuggets are all capable of winning 50 games. The Lakers need to hold them off and win 51 or 52 to hold them off and get that 3rd Seed. I see teams Like Goldy and Beard winning around 60.
