Now look at what you've done Tim! I'm out of the woodworks and blogging again.... look out! haha.
Speaking of looking out, Look out San Antonio, cuz here comes Showtime! I'm going out on a lim here and crowning the Lakers champs once again! They've arguably got the two best tandem in the league with The Big Aristotle and KB8, now word of Payton on board with Malone next in line, this only makes the East cry harder.
With the addition of Payton, it really addresses most of the weaknesses the Laker team had. 1) Someone to shoulder the scoring burden when Shaq or Kobe goes cold. Whenever I watch the Lakers play, the scoring is always like this: Shaq and Kobe : 75 points Rest of team: 5. Payton can easily contribute a double double night in and night out.
2) Perimeter Defence. With Shaq clogging up the middle, few pgs are willing to venture into the paint for fear of being swatted out into infinity. It's the perimeter that was a headache for Phil Jackson. With D Fisher consistently being beat on the dribble in the SA series, Payton's going to definitely shore up the defense. He's called the "Glove" for a reason.
3) Intangibles. Payton's an extremely hard worker and alot of it is going to rub off on the rest of the team. No doubt the Lakers already have plenty of motivation to get back to the big dance, but having Payton will keep the younger guys in line when things get slow during the long season.
4) Someone that can create for Shaq and Kobe. Not to knock Fisher, but everyone including him will agree that Payton is the better player. Payton averaged 8.3 assists last year to Fisher's 1.8. Well, enough said.
What would really seal the deal is if Malone joins the Lakers too. I bet there are lots of people in Sacramento and Dallas having sleepless nights..
Other comments: Well, the White House came out and said that they may have been mislead into going to war in Iraq. Heck, we all could have told them that. THey might as well come out saying "We were looking for slick black oily stuff actually". Now they are in Africa, most likely looking for oil since Africa is something like the 5th largest producers of oil.... what a shame.
Talking about basketball is much more easier on the heart than talking politics.
