Dont be fooled. Long Time Laker Follower. Kobe has that fire in his eyes. He will lead his troops. LBJ and Co Cant beat Kobe in a best of 7 They wont have to worry about people like KG. Shooters like Ray Allen. Kobe with Big Man Bynum Back look unstoppable. They are running like the New England Patriots when they were in there prime. When you have there backs against the wall they Come out to play. Its also going to come down to COACHING. Brown is NOT on Phil Level thats why the 2 times they played this year you can see that the better coach won and showed him up at His house. With Phil there is always Hope and Fire in a Team. This is KOBE YEAR LBJ CAN HAVE HIS MVP. HE WONT HAVE A RING. Note this LBJ is in need of his 1st ring, Kobe out to prove he Can Lead his Lakers and Win won for Jerry!!!!! Dont Doubt LA. They will Win it all. Yes Denver is a Threat but once again Phil will out Coach Karl in the end and you will see a Hot Denver team Come down to Reality. La Owns Denver For a Reason!!!! Just wanted to throw this all in to get up on this Argument from another Laker Fan

The Lakers over the past 2 seasons have consistently played to the level of their competition...played to a level to beat their competition; vs. a team like the Cavs they "raise the bar", they have consistently done this. Kobe definitely has that "killer instinct" and when necessary he will bring it out in full force. They are not worried about winning by 20 or 30 pts like the Cavs are...their only concern is to win the game and rest the starters as much as possible. Not to worry fellow Laker fans...

I think if the Cavs and Lakers do get into the finals, the talent level is going to make a lot of the games real close. and in the end the Lakers have the most clutch player in the league in Kobe right now. Thats going to be the difference in that series. I think Denver gives the Lakers more problems then the Cavs will in the Finals.

I beleive Denver has the best shot at taking the Lakeshow down.
Being a die hard Mavs fan (whom, rightfully so, hasn't been mentioned ONCE on this thread) I must say that the Denver-Dallas matchup will be the Bulls-Celts matchup of the West. Denver should prevail and then give LA a run at the money. Should Dallas sneak by Denver, I would give Dallas a shot as well to beat LA.
They hung in there both times (losing by 7 in two close games that Dallas actually led in the 4th quarter) and Dallas is playing their best ball of the season right now. If Denver wins, I like the attitude and finesse Carmello and Chauncy bring to the table. Denver won at home by 11, and lost at LA by 7 and 12. As previously mentioned, Denver and Dallas are playing awesome basketball right now, so I am calling for the winner of that series to knock of the Lakers. It is the NBA...where magic happens.

I agree with a lot of what you guys are saying, and no that is not me in the avatar. I am a big Kevin James fan, as well as, King of Queens.
I know last year was a difference in toughness and tenacity with the Celtics. I have no doubt in my mind that the Lakers are the best team in the NBA. i just feel the 2 intangibles that could cost them a title is the Toughness and the WILL to put the foot on the throats when you have them down.
For all that are saying this is the Lakers year, trust me, i want nothing more than to see that myself, and Yes i do believe they have the skill to win it all. Do they have TOUGHNESS?
We shall see. GO LAKERS

I am going to continue to post in this thread for as long as the Lakers remain in the playoffs.
As far as the 1st post in this thread, i am watching game 2 and shaking my head, b/c toughness and killer instinct is showing up again. I know it is early, but we trail by 1 now. C'mon

Ok, after these 2 games in Houston, I just get reminded why it is so frustrating to be a Laker fan.
Game 3 - they come to play and get a nice road win, and take the wind out of Houston, as well as, Yao for the series.
Game 4 - The other Laker team comes to play - This is the Laker team that i talk about. Toughness, Tenactiy, and Killer Instinct. They lack all of these!!!!!!!!
You have a chance to put a strangle hold on this series and close it out at home, and you lay an egg. It shows this team feels like they can turn it on and off whenever they want, and that pisses me off.
I am a die-hard Laker fan, and this playoff series as well as, the remaining playoffs is going to show me just how good of a leader Kobe Bryant is.
This Laker team needs Kobe to be the leader that Lebron has shown in the playoffs. Lebron is so focused, and his team has just as much focus because of him. I don not see that in this Laker team.
Again, I am not saying the Lakers can't win this whole fucking thing, BUT i feel that this team has a lot of growing up to do in a short period of time.
Go Lakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it comes down to Lakers vs Nuggets in the West Finals, I say Kobe's gang will take Melo's down in a hearbeat. LA swept DEN last year if I'm not mistaken. They know those mountain goats like the back of their hands. And Chauncey? The Lakers have DFish for him.

the Lakers have DFish for Billups? I am a Laker fan, but buddy you got that all wrong. Billups will own Fish. In fact, I think they gotta go with another defender to play Billups. Brooks just owned Fish, and you think billups loses that matchup? Don't think so.
Yeah, last year the Lakers swept the Nuggs. There is a guy named Billups on this year's squad that makes them just a bit better than last year.
We shall see, and as i sit and scream at the TV, remember.......
GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
