That's true... although I have to say that Kobe's getting closer all the time. It's not just me; Popavich was making the comparison between their "will to win" after game 4, and that dagger of a putback that Kobe had.
Again, don't get me wrong, I WANT the Lakers to lose. I just don't think you should be so quick to dismiss the possibility that they can beat the Kings. The NBA game, even with the new defensive rules allowing zones, is still all about matchups, and the Kings have no answer for Shaq or Kobe. The Lakers don't have an answer for Webber, either, but he shoots so many jumpers, they might not really need an answer. He's so much more dangerous in the post, but for whatever reason, he doesn't like to go down there all that often.
Anyway, if the Lakers do win, you better believe some of the currently silent Laker supporters will be cropping up on here and telling us all how they knew it all along....
