I still think it's Denver barring Kenyon Martin's knee issue. They are confident playing against us and have a lot of fire power on the perimeter. Their physical style bothers the Lakers and they are great at getting to the charity stripe. I like what Dallas has done with their team and they are on fire winning 10 straight. They match up well, but I don't think they have the experience factor Denver has playing against us in the post season.
Current path to the playoffs assuming the top seeds advance is: For Lakers ... Round 1 - Portland Round 2 - Utah Round 3 - Dallas For Dallas ... Round 1 - San Antonio Round 2 - Denver Round 3 - Lakers For Denver Round 1 - Oklahoma City Round 2 - Dallas For Utah Round 1 - Phoenix Round 2 - Lakers
