this will be a dog fight till the end. but i still think we will win the series vs denver. and once we got moved past denver it would be a totally different series vs okc. remember guys 2010 where lakers must go the entire seven games vs houston in the first round and most of lakers fans didn t expect the run to the finals and the trophy and then lakers got it anyway. so i still have hopes that this could be again happen . just close out the seies vs denver and then we will see. we got mwp back for the 2nd round . yeah i was all season hard on him but he played very good the last month as he came in to shape again and i expect that once he is back he will reenergize the lakers espicially on the defense . he could be the key factor to stop their opponents best player. and once again the thunder are better then denver no doubt about it but if lakers are all on the same page espicially on defense where they have to step up big time amd knock down some open shots plus the bench comes to play then i give them good chances to knock off the thunder . but first they must be ready for this game 6 fight and grind it out because denver now has confidence but lakers must come out exactly with that sense of urgency like denver came out on our homefloor then i give lakers good chances to win this game 6. bynum and gasol have to step up also sessions and the bench if we want to end the series on thursday.
