Game one Thursday Night in LA.

Some good match ups on both ends edge Boston better Bench and Defense.

Any one give the Lakers a shot at beating Boston?

It'll be easier than beating the Suns.

So you think in 5?

I don't do predictions, Vin. I hope & pray. Hope the Lakers win. Pray the Suns lose. It's just weird that in this series the default if the Suns lose is just peaches.

Should be a good match up might be a six or seven game series. I am sure The Lakers will win tonight and be ready for Boston.

It's similar dilemma faced by the early '80's Lakers in their blood feud with the Celtics. Kareem was too soft. Worthy was too soft. Scott was too soft. Magic was too soft. It took Magic to reinvent himself and take everybody with him that made the difference a quarter century ago. I don't believe Kobe can do that with Gasol, Bynum and Odom. He doesn't have the fortitude, the patience, the innate trust, the "kindness of heart." He only knows to [go to the whip], or, to asshole it himself. And teams are waiting for that now, and welcome it.
