the lakers have disappointed me this whole year. they are in no way as cohesive offensively and especially defensively as they were last year with trevor ariza, and they've been pure shit since after the all-star break, yet they're still a lock for the 1 seed out west which blows my mind. i've watched them lose to all the contenders for the title this year, i've seen ron artest get shitted on by every star player of the opposite team, pau is still a vagina more or less, and even tho lamar odom should win 6th man of the year, their second unit isn't something to be afraid of. i've been saying all year denver or dallas could easily be in the finals playing cleveland. kobe's been injured all year it seems like, so a rest for him before the playoffs is alright by me, i seen bron bron not playing either tonight.
