As everyone know by now the lakers are making a push for the number 1 seed in the western conference or for the best record in the NBA.The Lakers are playing the way they suppose to be, and i don't know any team that can beat them in a 7 game series. These are the 3 other top teams in the west.
-The Mavs?we all know that the mavs are only good in regular season but in playoffs?i don't think so!sure they have Dirk, kidd, Jterry and marion but the have a problem in matching up againts the size of the lakers. And the way Andrew Bynum protecting the paint, unless Dirk decides to post-up more but that's highly unlikely.
-The Spurs?Timmy is not the same player he used to be a couple of years ago, He's not a treat anymore in the low post. Tony Parker maybe quick but DFish is more physical and he is more clutch than parker. The only good sign for the spurs is Manu who's been playing this year.And the injury issue of TD, TP and manu, just how effective they're goona be come playoffs time?
-OKC?sure they have Durant, Westbrooke and they added perkins in the mix but they are no way gonna challenge the Lakers. They are a young team who's still missing some puzzle to become a serious contender.
Therefore the west still belongs to the Lakers, unless something happens in their last 10 games like injury or something.Pau, Lamar and Bynum terrorizing the paint, Artest, Barnes and Fisher doing what the Zen master tell them to do. And they have the guy named KOBE BRYANT.

noone is stopping them. everyone looks weak who we thought could compete. id say the blazers or the thunder have the best chance but thats just my opinion

Wow. That winning streak has been impressive so I don't doubt if they can win the championship this year. They do have a few contenders though but it is difficult to stop a super athletic guy especially if his name is Kobe Bryant.

Assuming that the SA Spurs has a complete and healthy lineup, they should be able to stop the Lakers. Denver and Dallas are formidable teams as well. They are very tough and it will take a lot of work to stop the Lakers especially with coach Phil at the helm. But again, the West is very wild and very strong.

i can see that you are a huge lakers fan.no offense but it seems that you are bias in your comments.thats your opinion anyway.the lakers has the big chance of winning it again this year and score another 3peat for phil if the lakers can get past the spurs.the spurs right now are asserting that they could still do it. I also like it when you included oklahoma in your comment.i think they also have a good chance this year.i could say they are the darkhorse of the playoffs.
