Will the lakers advance to the second round even with the injury of Bynum and Ariza?

Will Lakers advance to the second round of the playoffs?nba hoops

i think the Lakers can definitely make it past the first round this year.

First their success on the road this year and their ability to stay in games (that would have been blowouts last year) - means that homecourt advantage isn't as important as in past years.

i think they can be one of the most dangerous teams in the playoffs (especially once they get Bynum back).

They match up pretty well against most of the teams in the West. i think unless they face the Spurs in the first round they have a good shot to get past the first round.

They have a deep bench, and once Bynum gets back it'll open up the lanes for Kobe and there will be two people that have to be double-teamed.

Their seed will obviously be lower than had Bynum not been injured- but we've seen they've the potential to be the best in the West and in a 7 game series anything can happen.

Go Lakers!

Probably. Depends on their seeding and who they draw in the first round.
yes if kobe will learn to pass the ball more..
no they won't
Provided that the team is whole and healthy prior to the culmination of the playoffs, the answer to that is hell yes. Bynum and Ariza will be key to their success. The Lakers are no better offensively than they were last year, but defensively they have improved drastically and they are distributing the ball significantly better, look for them to be a force.
Bynum won't miss the playoffs. They have a good chance.
No, right now they are the 6th seed for them to have a chance they must get 5th cause 1st or 2nd is out of the question. At 5th they can play Denver or Portland. That is the only chance but i dont think that will happen
It depends. If they gonna face the Suns at first round, there is no chance in hell they gonna go to second round.
I don't think they will because they'll break down like piece of trash on a pile of burning sh** whick I like to call Kobe Bryant.
Yes, they will...only if they trade Kobe....He is not fit in Jackson's system and not fit to be a Laker....He disgraces the Laker organization....
probably if they don't bump into the suns
nah, not good enough
If Bynum and Ariza are injured, they have no chance of making it out of the 1st round. if the team gets healthy before the playoffs start then I think they'll make noise. We need everyone healthy

#1 Laker fan
they willl be back and we will not only get there we will own
they need 3 things: everyone needs to be healthy, they need home court (top 4 seed), and a favorable matchup someone like Portland or Golden State..all of those things are possible so they have a 50-50 chance
At least......
Not if Kobe's leading them!

KOBE BRYANT SUCKS!
