Lakers are taking names and kicking butt!Waiting for the YOUNG,BIG guy to come back.Look out NBA.Lol.

They became my favorite to win it all when they made the trade for Gasol. Combined with Bynum down low, they will be a force in the playoffs.

West is still going to be mighty tough to win. Even with Parker shut down, the Spurs are red hot, and look how Manu's stepped up his game!

Houston is also on a role, and Shaq seems to be alive and well in Phoenix.

And you can't count New Orleans out of this either. Lots of talented ballclubs for the Lakers to claw past. I'm not so sure they can do it.

No, Orleans is an up and comer, but face it, they are not playoff savvy just yet...still Chander and Paul...there is some talent there.

Yep,the Suns look good with Shag.I mean they only lost by 30 points,lol. ESPN - Detroit vs. Phoenix - Recap - February 24, 2008

Dang... that's one ugly loss. Worst one of the season for Phoenix, and Shaq only gets 7 points!

[PettyBlue]

Shaq sure is good from the foul line as he says he makes the ones that count when needed.
