5 of the 8 teams that made the playoffs came from our very tough division. On top of that, we won 1 less game than the best # 1 seeded Lakers...Blah ing blah..Every time we took the floor we got just about every teams best effort. Playing the world champs brings out the best from our opponents. We are the team other teams circle on their calendars.
So, I don't buy that bull that the Lakers were the best the West had to offer. We didn't play our best ball and we weren't healthy. We held at least a 17 pt lead on them in 3 out of the 5 games. Do you see my point yet ? the Lakers. They are not the team to beat in the West next year.
The Lakers took advantage of playing in a weak division and rolled up the victories. Pau Gasol helped them but give me a break. We had to take down Phoenix and the Hornets before facing them.
They had to beat _enver and Utah. We beat Utah 4-1 the previous playoffs and smashed them in a very important game late in the season.
