Ray,
Sorry my old friend but how could you put Bird ahead of Lebron? And I would put Pippen ahead of Brid on a dream team because of the defense. And I love Rodman (he should be in the hall of fame) but especially on a dream team you have to play on both sides of the floor and Dennis’ offense left a lot to be desired.

Zephid,
Maybe I am like Phil Jackson and don’t see the necessity of having a true PG (especially on a talented team) but this would be my dream lineup

Wade
Kobe
Lebron
Bosh
Howard

wondahbap,
It’s not that criticism is wrong; it is that often individual criticism becomes a ‘pile on’ thing. Everyone has to add their tidbit, but frequently doesn’t provide any new evidence, just recycles what was said before or just makes a statement. This is almost the definition of a boring blog.

We all want to ‘join the herd’, but if someone else has said it better – how about letting it be. Yes, you are right, I am sometimes guilty of this also. We all are, but how about trying to minimize the repetitions.

drrayeye,

“Take off your blinders, embrace our Laker team as it is, coached by Phil Jackson as he is–and enjoy where the Laker train will take us. The ride is as much fun as the destination, and what we are seeing may never be seen again.”

How is debating Fish’s pros and cons, or his positive or negative aspects wrong? We ALL hope for his best and realize what he can and can’t do, but it’s wrong to act like those who want to talk about his faults don’t support him. Or those who comment like everything is all good is are the only ones who do.

I’m a Lakers fan who would rather focus on the reason *why* the Lakers can win as opposed to why they can’t but to tell others to keep their criticisms to themselves *is* putting “blinders” on in itself. Fish deserves discussion. He’s not Kobe, nor Pau, in which his positives far outweigh his negatives.

94, I think more of a dream lineup would be:

Chris Paul
Kobe Bryant
Lebron James
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard

With Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Dirk Nowitski off the bench for an 8-man rotation, and Sun Yue, JJ Redick, Adam Morrison, Brian Scalabrine, and Darko Milicic at the end of the bench for the 5-man Human Victory Cigar lineup.

Systems always have weak points. The best systems have fewer weak points and their strong points are very dominant.

The triangle can be attacked by small, quick PGs, but not only is the offense designed to get everyone better shots, it also puts the players in a position to have one or two players always back on defense when a miss occurs. The Lakers don’t always do this, as it is a function of running the offense correctly.

>Unstoppable

except, perhaps, when all those small guards with the quick feet and hands pressure the ball full-court?!
