Lakers? The flaws are obvious ...

For you Lakers fans who are sure they are going to win all 82 (even if I'm one of them):  Before you pick out your spot on Figueroa for the victory parade, I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the Jell-o is not jiggling for this juggernaut just yet.

In fact, take an objective look at the Lakers' obvious flaws:

--If Pau's hair gets any longer, he'll have to join the cast of "Gossip Girls"...
--Vlad Rad's space-case turnovers--that's "Life on Mars"...
--Lamar's erratic jumper is still a threat to rims in 30 cities...
--I tried Kobe's shoes, the KB 24's, and they hurt my feet...
--How smart can the Lakers be when they're paying Andrew Bynum more than the Dodgers offered Manny Ramirez?
--And they may lose their young female demographic if Luke Walton doesn't get more face time...

So you see, the Lakers aren't perfect, although I have to admit, I ran out of flaws pretty quickly.

Ted,

Are you damn crazy? Luke Walton a heartthrob?? What kind of lady would be attracted to somebody who's been playing like PUKE lately??????
