I can't believe that before the NBA playoffs began,I heard an analyst on ESPN say that the greatest threat to the Lakers in the West was the Utah Jazz. These first two games have been laughers. I know that Utah is tough at home,but the Lakers are clearly bigger,faster,and stronger. Shannon Brown has been a heckuva pleasant surprise (he was just the toss-in on the Adam Morrison trade). I can't help but think Kobe vs LeBron for the ring this year.
