im not saying boston or cleveland is weak im saying the rest of the conf sucks they are only there b/c there has to be someone there. thats why cleveland was able to blow through the first two rounds. the lakers probably would of lost a game or two against those same teams but would have still dominated those series.
but with the way we are playing against houston we will be lucky to make it to the finals.
if the lakers play like they did in game 5 & 7, then denver won't have a chance. Yao wouldn't of made a difference, the lakers were still gonna win that series.
i think lakers has a slight adv for matchups vs nuggets, though melo has been on fire gasol needs to keep his game up like today and shut down k-mart!!
lakers doesn't really have an answer for melo (ariza? . then again melo is pretty much the entire denver offense. billups>fisher maybe, bynum needs to really shine here. lakers in 6
