    if arenas goes, the Lakers would have a huge trio

    I'd love to see LA vs. Sacramento in the 1st Round.

    1) So the Lakers could beat them already, those Kings fans are getting cocky
    2) Because everyone has been talking about this matchup since the Lakers wiped the floor with the Kings in OT of Game 7

    tthe lakers are playing as hard as they can. they would desperatly like to avoid meeting dallas sacramento or san antonio in the first round. what youre seeing is the cracks in the armor showing as thye have been alll year. the lakers got hot for a while but they havent seeled another title yet

    Probably... I think they were thinking "Were gonna come in and murder these teams and got a slap in the face" [happens all the time with me]

    the lakers are playing as hard as they can? i think not. they are lazy out there and looked bored and tired. the cracks in the armor start with Derek stinking Fisher. i think that's been pointed out since his foot surgeries. the bench has always been a weak link, too. it's a little better this year, but overall pretty bad. in any case, the lakers are deadly in a series, especially a 7 game one. they make great adjustments and will wear you down.

    Here's how I see the Lakers playoff chances: I think the Kings or Spurs would both beat them in a 7 game series. They'd play it close with the Mavs and Blazers, and I think they would beat the rest of the playoff teams. It all depends on who they end up facing, but I think they're out in the 1st round.

    I agree. The way things have been going with the Blazers with Pippen at the Point Guard. Mavs are hot, Kings are hot and the Timberwolvs are hot. If they face the Mavs, Kings or Spurs I most def think they would get out in the 1st round.
