West has more real teams and the Lakers just havent had their A game this year. Not alot of room for error out west.

    Lakers in disarray! Kobe past his prime. Big men dissappear when needed. No consistent outside shooters. Thunder! Firing on all cyl!!

    Kobe may have to take time off to go rape someone.

    The competition out west far exceeds the East. Every series will be battle. Is there any team in the west that could not beat the Lakers?

      I am a huge Lakers fan, but their poor effort the last half of the season, and Kobe Bryant hitting the wall is not good news.

        Kobe really should have taken care of that finger during the regular season.

          but, I would still give my Bulls an E for effort.

            This is like 2004 when the team that had been winning was gone. The Lakers are going down and the only issue is the round.

                Cleveland is always vulnerable!

                      LeBron will be off his game a bit and that's all it takes to beat them.

                        LA is not as good as last year and is dealing with injuries and fatigue. Everyone is coming after them...no HC if they get to the finals

                          Thunder is a very very scary team especially when Durrant gets hot. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see them knock off the over-confident Lakers

                            Kobe rapes a woman and the NBA backs him. Ben Nogoodburger is raping women and the NFL backs him. What is happening in America? No morals, no ethics, and no common sense abounds even in the playground. I would be ashamed to support such people and their organizations.

                                  Lebron is ready and so is Cleveland. Go Cavs.

                                    Win or lose, I'll still view the SPURS as the winners. Good ball club and players that one can be proud of to represent the city.

                                      Agreed. A class act with the records to prove it. Go SPURS Go.

                                        I think that the Thunder will finally make Seattle proud to have had them once........

                                          The Lakers have been faking lack of interest. They'll set a record by not losing a single playoff game.

                                            Honestly I don't believe Cleveland can get past Orlando. What a menace Dwight Howard is.
