    If the Hornets were healthy and could learn how to play LA in New Orleans, it might be a series. Devin Brown owns Kobe in one on one play.

    Health? CP3' only missed 4 games this year. No one else who is worthy of mention has missed any games for the Hornets.

    Sorry, guys like David West Peja Stojakovic and Tyson Chandler shouldn't be used as injury excuses. That would be like me using J-Ho's 20+ missed games this year as an injury excuse.

    i think kobe loves brewer. never guards him. just dares him to shoot jumpshots and then on offense if brewer is moving well defensively he then destroys him in the paint. brewer has no strength to defend kobe. same with AK. gets destroyed in the post

    In the West, Portland is too young to knock off the Lakers, New Orleans is not as good as they were last year. The only team who can do it is the Spurs.

    There is only one team that could have any impact and derail the Lakers making it back to the finals this year.

    1. Lakers

    If Bynum isn't back the Lakers have no hope of matching the Blazers' size. It would get ugly for them.

    Although I seriously think Spurs with Manu and Tim healthy can go blow by blow with the Lakers.

    Maybe, but when have those guys been healthy at the same time over the past year?

    The troll makes a decent point.

    Hope besides the handful of games this season, most of the POs.

    Only injuries will cost the Lakers a place in the finals. Noone is even close to them in the West and thats without Bynum! You are dreaming if you think anything different.

    you won't be hard pressed to find that some of these guys will tell you that Mo Williams is the Cavs mvp.

    The Lakers are slowly running away with the Western Conference. In fact, it seems very unlikely that a team will be able to knock them out of the playoffs before they reach they reach the NBA Finals.

    However some teams, like the Spurs, Hornets, and now even the Jazz are contenders to knock off the feared Lakers. The Blazers, Rockets, and Nuggets aren't too far behind. And with a healthy Greg Oden, and a little bit of luck, Portland could be the team to do it.

    Who are the top three teams that could knock the Lakers off in an upset? The teams above are certainly able, but only half of them will be mentioned. Could it be Portland with a healthy Oden? Or how about that up-and coming Utah team? Could the Spurs get hot and do it themselves? Time to debate!

    3. Portland Trail Blazers (If Greg Oden is available) - The Blazers are a young team that acts like a group of veterans. They have a scary one-two punch with All-Star Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge.

    With a healthy Greg Oden (I'm sure you've guessed by now that it is key for them to have Oden), the Blazers can abuse multiple teams down low with many different post options.

    Brandon Roy is now considered one of the league's top three shooting guards, with his shooting touch, and his scrappy paint game. He also has very good passing skills, which he uses to his advantage when he plays lesser shooting guards.

    If Oden can ever stay healthy, it's likely Rip City could see yet another Finals appearance.

    3. New Orleans Hornets (if the Blazers don't have Oden) - The Hornets have been rising since the return of Tyson Chandler. They definitely have a big three of themselves with Chandler, David West, and top point guard Chris Paul.

    Paul's current season is being compared with the likes of John Stockton and Magic Johnson. Pretty exclusive company if you ask me. David West is another All-Star on the star-studded Hornets, and is averaging 20 points and 8.4 rebounds per game this season.

    The Hornets have a great team this season, and ever since the return of Chandler, they've been playing like it.

    2. Utah Jazz - Much to the dismay of other Western Conference teams, the Jazz are back again ever since the return of All-Star forward Carlos Boozer.

    Now with their big four (Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur, Andrei Kirilenko) back on track, the Jazz have won seven of their last 10 games. The Jazz are only 2.5 games out of second place in the conference, but with the West being a tight conference, they currently sit in the seventh spot, slightly ahead of the surging Mavericks.

    If the Jazz head into the playoffs with the momentum they have now, along with being healthy, the Lakers could be getting a not so pleasant surprise.

    1. San Antonio Spurs - The Spurs, who are currently holding on to a second place spot in the Western Conference, are still one of the top teams in the league, even after all four championships they've won.

    Led by two All-Stars Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, as well as a past All-Star (Manu Ginobili), the Spurs have a 45-23 record. San Antonio has the perfect recipe for a championship contender - experience, a few fresh legs, and a crazy coach. Sounds good to me!
    How did I know that the Blazers would make the list, even ahead of the Nuggets

    The funny thing is, Jet >> Mo Williams. Seriously. Lebron still doesn't have much help, but look what he can do with at least SOME help.
