The End

I think perhaps the Doors said it best...

...about the Lakers 2002-03 season:

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

...about the future of the Lakers:

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

...to the Free Agent class of 2003:

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

...and to Mitch Kupchak:

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us?

To me there aren't any ends, just new beginnings....
