Kobe had 43 pts, 8 rbs, and 5 astsSmush had 12 pts, 8 rbs, and 3 astsLamar came close to his third straight triple double with 14 pts, 11 rbs, and 7 astsKwame had 10 pts and 7 rbsThis win clinched a spot in the playoffs for the Lakers, now they need to worry about locking up the 7th seed. If Sacramento wins tonight against New Orleans and then against Seattle, followed by a Lakers loss to New Orleans, Sacramento steals the 7th spot.
Yes! And with the loss today the Suns all but assured themselves a match-up with the Lakers and the worst match-up for the Spurs. I just wish Marion and Diaw were sitting so the Lakers fans would get their hopes up some more until they get swept in the playoffs.

You know why? Kobe Bryant. I'm not saying they're going to but your arragont little Arizona <Censored> needs a little tuning. When the Lakers have played the right way, we have beaten the Mavericks, the Spurs, and the Pistons.
This win will definatley have them in the right attuitude for the playoffs, I mean they beat the top in the west (spurs) earlier in the season, beat the mavs with Kobes 62, and beating pheonix is just a great thing to do entering the post season, I think they could have a real run at it, the 8th seed has won the playoffs before, ( correct me if i am wrong)
You're saying the Lakers can win the championship???Wow, that's a real bold statement. But if they did... that'd be crazy. Just crazy.
Any team can win if they play the right way. The Lakers don't and they are nothing but a mediocre team. Kobe is only 1 player. I think you guys will win one game and that'll be the one in LA when Kobe scores over 60.I'm just messing with yall. :beerchug:

Just crazy.</div>I said they CAN it doesn't mean they will, but...It has been done by an 8th seeded team, The Knicks I believe it was, and the Lakers are 7th and have beaten a few of the top teams, so its definatley not impossible, but it is improbable

I want to see Miami vs Lakers in the finals and until one of those teams are eliminated thats what I'll believe will happen.
I was just reminded of something that happened in soccer last year, a team who cam fifth or so in their counrty's League, went on to beat the best teams in the whole of Europe, against all odds, they won the FA cuip or wahtever its called, kinda like the lakers situation...I hope im not getting myself over excited, and I also hate soccer...
