When playoffs begin, Lakers come to win -- By Scott Ostler , San Francisco Chronicle

The Los Angeles Lakers will win their fourth consecutive NBA title. Five reasons:

Shaq. Kobe. Phil. Mystique. Headbands.

Plenty of the first four, none of the last.

lol

Lets not get ahead of ourselves guys.

The Lakers should not be too arrogant that this 4th championship is in the bag. I know that we will get it eventually, if we don't get too arrogant that it affects our play and starting underestimating our opponents, then we are ok.

First thing first is the Wolves and ONLY the Wolves. After we beat them then we move on with the series and our focus.

But our focus right now is with the Wolves and nothing more.

We can think about the parade, once that throphy is given to us by David Stern.

GO LAKERS!!!!!LETS DOMINATE TOMORROW, THEN WE CAN THINK ABOUT THE NEXT GAME.

Oh for sure Kobe_One_Kenobi_8, like I have said throughout posts, it wouldn't surprise me if the Lakers win 4, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Lakers loose.

Your absolutly right, and im not getting ahead of myself, im just excited

I have 2 NEW EDITORIALS coming out. When your done reading them, youll know what im all about baby

I think it is that arrognace that helps the Lakers step it up and causes their opponents to cower.

As B Shaw said: "Late in the game, you can see the look in other teams' faces. It's like, 'Oh no, here we go again.' They play to avoid losing. We play to win."

In my opinion there are three stages of mindset based on experience and confidence:

1) Playing not to lose
2) Playing to win
3) Knowing that your opponent has no chance

The 3rd is where the Lakers are, and while many frown on such arrogance, the we've seen the results 3 and now 4 years running.

But our focus right now is with the Wolves and nothing more.

True for the Lakers team, but not for the fans. This gravy train ain't gonna last forever, so I for one am going to take full advantage and run as much mess as I can until it ends.

Comment on the arrogance:
When youve got 3 rings (going 4 4) you deserve to be arrogant
but just not go overboard
like do not underestimate and play hard for the whole game
go out there try your best
the arrogance i am fine wiht because it in a way motivates us
we are the lord of the rings
a little arrogance is fine
but on the other hand, teams that have had no ring before are so arrogant .........and its just so irritating to see.........i think y'all know which team i mean......yep, its the one with the smirky player................
