          Is that even a question? Our team is going all the way this year!....

                          They will get as far as New Orleans, where CP3 will be the car that Kobe couldn't jump over.

                              They may not make it out of the first round I mean Iverson alone can win a series. 6 foot even 170 pounds and undefendable he is the best pound for pound player in the nba. I know all you kobe pro rapist people will cry about that but check the stats IV3 all day over kobe

                                  Makes total sense, especially when Kobe is obviously winning mvp this year

                                      ROFL. He must be the best ever I mean look at all those championships he has won.

                                      Maybe he should go to practice once in a while, instead of bitching that he is to good to have to attend practice like everyone else.

                                      Say good bye to AI 4-1 and that is being generous. If Bynum is back for the playoffs, Denver will get swept.

                                                          Conference finals. They easily beat denver in the first round, Utah in the 2nd...then fall to the spurs in the conference finals.

Lakers have at least shown they can pick up their defensive intensity when needed. Nuggets? Not so much.

Come playoff time without a decent big you go nowhere. Gasol is a SOFT big, a mid ranger shooter with soft D especially for a 7 footer.

He does so much for this team. Averages well over 10 rebounds per game. He has a long reach, and hes good for 10-14 points a game. He works like a big man, but is smooth like a small forward.... He will be the factor in all of these games.

Being a Lakers fan and seeing them play this year I have really high hopes. But the West is just SO strong this year. It will be tough either way.

Look at all those years phoenix had high seeds just to run into a brick wall in the playoffs when shit changes! Stick a guy like Bowen on Kobe and he's not so much of a factor or roll back to when Detroit fucked up the lakers in the finals using tayshaun prince. Kobe simply can't play when there's a guy in his face all game long staying with him.

Things get taken up a few notches come playoff time and the lakers just don't have enough toughness. The only thing that can save the Lakers is the refs going soft because of kobe (and all laker fans) being a whiny bitch.

And Fish has had a huge role this year. Vujacic and Radmanovich have been shooting well and the Lakers have been playing D well when they need to.

Look at all those years phoenix had high seeds just to run into a brick wall in the playoffs when shit changes! Stick a guy like Bowen on Kobe and he's not so much of a factor or roll back to when Detroit fucked up the lakers in the finals using tayshaun prince. Kobe simply can't play when there's a guy in his face all game long staying with him.

                                                                                                                                                          Anybody see the Lakers winning anything without Kobe putting up 30+ a night? Things get taken up a few notches come playoff time and the lakers just don't have enough toughness. The only thing that can save the Lakers is the refs going soft because of kobe (and all laker fans) being a whiny bitch.

                                                                                                                                                          Kobe has been passing the ball, and his team with him on the bench play very well. Obviously you are a big Laker Hater.. I wonder what you will be saying when they are in the finals...

                                                                                                                                                          Also, go check your stats on how many points Kobe scores against the spurs.... You'll be amazed... It's not that high, but it's not low either. It's around 24 a game.

Lakers have at least shown they can pick up their defensive intensity when needed. Nuggets? Not so much.
                                                                                                                                                                  Yeah the Nuggets don't play good perimeter defense but I think you'll see a lot of zone. There's no doubt it will be tough for Denver but I'm not sold on the Lakers. The best case scenario for you guys is the Spurs in the conference finals. Worst case is the Jazz or Suns. Kobe will be the x factor, if he plays a good team game then LA has a shot. But if for any reason he tries to go off I think they're done.

Did you watch the Lakers vs Suns at all this year? Lakers won that series 3-1 (including sNaq playing in the last game for the Suns) LOL. Lakers will EAT the Suns.

Remember, to win in the playoffs, you must win games on the road.

Now they're running through Amari and leaving Shaq on the weak side to clean up. The Suns are still adjusting but it doesn't matter because you guys don't have an answer for the them in a 7 game series.

Look at all those years phoenix had high seeds just to run into a brick wall in the playoffs when shit changes! Stick a guy like Bowen on Kobe and he's not so much of a factor or roll back to when Detroit fucked up the lakers in the finals using tayshaun prince. Kobe simply can't play when there's a guy in his face all game long staying with him.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Anybody see the Lakers winning anything without Kobe putting up 30+ a night? Things get taken up a few notches come playoff time and the lakers just don't have enough toughness. The only thing that can save the Lakers is the refs going soft because of kobe (and all laker fans) being a whiny bitch.

Commenting off of the 2 minute highlights you see on ESPN probably isn't a good idea. They have been playing and winning games all year without him having to put up big numbers. He has got good numbers but in the flow of the game, not forcing it like he had to in the past couple years.

We are the #2 seed for crying out loud.
                                                                                                                                                                                  I will give the Hornets some love. They are probably every bit as good as the Lakers (without Bynum) and Chris Paul has played absolutely amazing. But the playoffs are a whole different story for a young team and not sure how they will respond. Teams usually have to get in the playoffs and lose a couple years before they can take it to the next level. Not saying they can't because they have sustained it all season which I didn't think they would be able to do. The let down they had at the end and the fact that they are a young team is probably why they aren't getting much love.

                                                                                                                                                                                  That said I have Lakers vs Hornets for west Finals. Celtics vs Lakers for the Finals.

Atleast Shaq can win on his own despite being old as dirt. Whats Kobe's excuse?
                                                                                                                                                                                      When did Shaq win one on his own? I know you're not talking about that title in Miami when Shaq himself admitted to being Robin to D-Wade's Batman.

There's no doubt it will be tough for Denver but I'm not sold on the Lakers. The best case scenario for you guys is the Spurs in the conference finals. Worst case is the Jazz or Suns. Kobe will be the x factor, if he plays a good team game then LA has a shot. But if for any reason he tries to go off I think they're done.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  And there you have it. Nuggets have a good offense, but once you get to the playoffs, you need to OUTSCORE your opponent, something that having a half-decent DEFENSE at least affords you, and something that the Nuggets know nothing of.
