This is kinda goofy, but.....

So I finished writing this article on top-10 reasons why the Lakers were going to win back all the money funneled behind them in the NBA futures to win Western Conference Champs...then realized that I’m an idiot.

Ok, so I realized that a billion years ago when I nearly burnt my house down trying to microwave a pizza pocket for the first time (I read 1 1/2 as 11 1/2 and was so bored of watching the damn thing spin in the magical box of awesome that I went downstairs to watch TV). Seriously though, if the Lakers have ten reasons why they’re the best championship contender going right now, then I got ten reasons why they ain’t.

The two sides of my brain were so conflicted about my efforts of self-contradiction that I had an epileptic seizure. During my hazy coma, my subconscious enlightened me to these hard truths about the Lakers and why I shouldn’t be banking on them as my NBA futures bet.........................

It sounds like a deliberate attempt at humor...but he actually raises some decent points.

"9. Brandon Roy Is Hungry
The Trailblazers are a dangerous, young squad with a couple strong big men and Brandon Roy, perhaps one of the best clutch shooters in the NBA. But motivating kids is a tough call to arms…especially when you paid them all this summer for accomplishing nothing as a team."

I disagree with the payment thing...we really had no say in the timing of the extensions. I highly doubt Roy and LA are sitting around saying "I got paid, nothing left for me to work on and no reason to play hard."
