<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James X3:</div><div class="quote_post">Lakers fans went ahead and made a huge deal out of Sac dropping to 4 and LA taking 2 but the way things look it's certainly helped Sacramento. They've dominated Dallas, while Houston has pushed The Lakers to the limit every game. Why would Sac want to be the 2 seed and play Houston in the first round? They can just play Dallas, run all game long and keep the game close. Fourth quarter roles around, they play defense for a little while and just dominate Dallas. Certainly sounds alot better than going through a struggle with Yao Ming and the Rockets, huh Laker fans?</div> Dominated Dallas? Ummm...you were watching Game 3 right? Struggle with the Rockets? Sure the games have been close, but who has the 3-1 lead heading home into Game 5??

But it's all up to Kobe. Wherever he wants to go next year will be determined by where he feels more comfortable at, and where his heart is. If Kobe does leave the Lakers, we all know it had something to do with Shaq and Phil Jackson. You're still thinking these court issues are getting into Kobe's head? Kobe has been dealing with court dates back and forth this season, and fans that taunt him any given night when the Lakers travel on the road, and he still plays up to his superstar status. Still trying to find ways to slam the guy? Keep trying.

Wait, that's right. You don't have any. Or did you want to count the Rochester Royals as your championship?</div> No rings. So what, does that mean that aren't as talented as The Lakers? Does that mean they can't defeat The Lakers? No. You can't judge The Lakers chances against Sacramento on two years ago in a playoff series because things have changed on both sides since than. That would be the equivalent as me saying that The Lakers can't beat The Spurs because they defeated them last season in the playoffs. It wouldn't be an accurate assumption for the simple fact that time carried changes. Sacramento is a different team from two years ago. They've expierenced more, they've meshed together and have more years as a team under their belts. They're far different from the newly assembled team who were just tasting the playoffs that The Lakers defeated a few years back. Peja has become an amazing shooter and scorer, easily one of the best this game has seen. Brad Miller has been aquired and he's become an allstar in Sacramento. They have more expierence on their bench, with Vlade and the league's best percentage three point shooter in Anthony Peeler. The changes are remarkable, not just on Sacramento's side but LA's as well. That's why pointing to the past to predict the future is just absurd, looking at the present is perhaps a better method.
This year's tough. There're so many teams I'd like to see get it. Reggie, Malone, Payton, and Kings all deserve rings. I'd love to see Kings get it tho, but Pacers too, cause realistically, there's a better chance of Kings comin back next year playin as well as they do, I still dont have faith in Pacers despite 61 wins. But since, Kings been in it for the ring for last 3 years... I think they deserve it the most, and plus, Wolves might choke against Kings you never know. KINGS GET THAT RINGGGGGG(they goin to get it)(they goin to get it)
