In First Place, Lakers Look Second To None In West

[DazedAndConfused]

True, Manu would have made yesterday's game a lot closer. Bynum and Ariza are gonna be needed if we end up facing a full strength Spurs team.

let me pretend to be DAC...when we get Manu (in his words bynum) back we will be unstoppable

just a joke DAC...a little ribbing...dont get mad....its all good
but yes, Manu would have made a BIG diff in the game

At this point even I will admit Bynum's contributions will be pretty limited if he does come back. The hope is that we get him back by the 2nd round and he starts getting the rust off by the WCF and is ready to go for the Finals. Probably not gonna happen, but one can hope.

its ok, it seems that there is a lot of hoping going around in the west this year. Certain teams are hoping to get players back (lakers), some are hoping to get it together (spurs, mavs, rockets) some hoping they can keep it together (suns, jazz) some hoping they dont fold like a lawn chair under pressure (hornets).....plenty of hoping to go around and then some.
