Can the Los Angeles Lakers win another championship this year?

i think it will be hard to beat the lakers in the playoffs as kobe is great in himself and he gots so much help from other team members at the same time. kobe doesn't have to carry his team anymore. it makes it a more complicated for teams that will face them in the playoffs. i would have to say in order to beat the lakers in a series the lakers would have to come into the playoffs without the hothand basicly meaning their rythem is lacking and i don't see it happening unless theres an injury to one of the lakers main players. also a team would have to have a little bit of luck to beat the lakers as well as kobe having a bad game and yes all players have had bad games no matter how great they were but its rare for people such as kobe. the lakers are most likely to repeat as champions as they have many odds in their favor.

The lakers have a big chance of getting to the nba finals and maybe win another championship. But of course, it depends on which team from the east will reach the finals. A lot of the teams from the east have improved their lines ups during the off season hoping it get them all the way to the nba finals. It would be an interesting nba finals match up if the celtics against the lakers. But you will never know with teams like orlando, cleveland and even atlanta might pull off a surprise. Meanwhile, in the west, the lakers just have to deal with the dallas, phoenix and maybe san antonio(?). But again, i feel the lakers has a strong chance to make it to the nba finals and we will see from there anyway its only december and a lot can still happen until then...

considering the amount of talent in the Lakers roster, i can say that they have a shot on the title since they play like winners.. kobe is having a good game after another since the return of gasol.. and i must agree with you that andrew bynum is now at his best season so far.. he plays like an allstar.. but i dont really consider him to start at the western conference allstar game.. lakers are definitely a team to be wrecking with.. and i think teams who face LA will have there work cut out for them..
