I get being confident about the Blazers but the playoffs are a different beast all together. The Lakers have PROVEN they can turn it on, Portland hasn't. Lets let someone else play the Lakers in the 1st round.
Insane. I found myself rooting for Sac. Kind of strange. I just have a horrible feeling that Dallas has been disrespected so much that they're going to play their nuts off in the first round. Lakers look really average right now, their bench is depleted, Bynum who knows?
Watching Kobe, Odom, Gasol take the court in OVERTIME for the last game of the season makes me feel like they're running fucking scared from the Blazers. I love it!
