Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers who clinched the Western Conference Regular Season Title last night.
It is on to the madness of the playoffs in the Western Conference. I am actually more excited about the NBA now than I have been since Magic and Co. steamrolled in 1988.
Consider these potential matchups.
#1 Lakers vs #8 Nuggets
#2 Hornets vs #7 Mavs
#3 Spurs vs #6 Suns
#4 Jazz vs #5 Rockets
then...
Lakers vs Jazz
Hornets vs Suns
THEN...
Lakers vs Suns (Shaq and Kobe collide in the most hyped Western Conference Finals in history.
and finally....
LAKERS vs CELTICS....
EPIC

(all in the voice of Bill Walton) Kobe brings the ball down... pretends to pass... scores! Kobe steals the ball... fakes another pass... scores! Now someone else passes him the ball... they're open for an alley-oop... he takes it all the way himself and scores! His 4 teammates guys have all pulled out lawn chairs and are playing basketball on X-Box 360! Who needs teammates when you have a super star! Uh oh, now the 9 ft tall center on the opposing team has the ball... puts the ball under his shirt and takes 5 pivot steps... doesn't worry because the refs stopped calling traveling and over and under years ago... now he lights it on fire and dunks it big time! Life's good when no one plays defense! I'm so bored I'm going to turn the game off until the last 45 seconds like the rest of America!
Alright, alright I'm done. :) I'm just so over the NBA it's not even funny. Don't hate me.

Jason it is obvious you haven't watched a single Laker game in the last 6 months. (in the voice of Keith Bruecker my other son)...Kobe drives the basket, has a clear path to score but "oh wow" he passes out to Fisher and boom another 3 pointer. Celtics try to get out of the back court but "oh my" the hustle of Kobe as he overplays the ball, steals it and behind the back passes to this new guy Pau Gasol (you probably don't know he is a Laker) for a slam dunk. It is an exciting time to be a Laker fan and Kobe will be crowned this year with an award he deserves...MVP!

No, you're definitely right on that one, I haven't watched a single NBA game period (let alone Lakers) in probably 2 years. Maybe more. I didn't like them much in the first place and living in LA for 6 years just killed them for me forever. And Kobe is just the only guy I know for sure is on the Lakers, so I picked on him. :)
Just having a little fun with you guys. What else do I have to do, as Jeff pointed out, most of my teams are in rebuilding times. :)

Laker bashing is a capital offense at 2367 Lochridge Pl.
A. Your older brother tactics don't work on me, a fellow older brother.
B. It wasn't specifically directed at the Lakers, but NBA in general.
C. Bring it!
