Lakers are in the Playoffs!

Well, after a one year absence, the Lakers are back in the Playoffs...

I have to be honest, I was getting worried there for a while, 1/3 of the way into the season...as the Lakers seemed very sloppy, and just like last year, all the other players were just watching Kobe perform and put on a show. I also could not figure out Kwame Brown, wondering what the hell he was doing on the court most of the games...he was a huge disappointment...WAS!!!

Kwame Brown has turned around 100%...I love the way he has been playing the last 12-15 games...rebounding the ball, posting up, going in strong...and he just turned 24!!!

Most likely, the Lakers will face Phoenix in the 1st round...and I think they could beat them...only if EVERYBODY plays like they have been lately...including the bench. Lamar getting triple doubles now and then won't hurt either...I see Kobe averaging over 35 in the playoffs...

My prediction...Lakers in 6!!!
