Lakes sweep the first round.
Quoted: After consecutive seasons of frustrating playoff exits against Phoenix, along with a non-playoff hiccup in 2004-05, the Lakers advanced beyond the first round for the first time since 2004. They hadn't swept a playoff series since beating New Jersey in the 2002 NBA Finals.

Quoted: In the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, Marcia C. Smith reports "History lends the Lakers, who are down 3-2 in the best-of-7 NBA Finals, the word never. Only eight teams in NBA history have rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win a seven-game playoff series, but no team has ever done it to win an NBA championship.

The Lakes finished with the best record in the western conference tonight. It will be a dream if they can make to the Finals, meet and once again beat the Celtics.
Quoted: They were practically left for dead before their season began, assembling on the shores of Honolulu for training camp without knowing if their best player would make it back to the mainland with them.

Six months later, they earned the top seeding in the West, tucking away home-court advantage throughout the conference playoffs with a 124-101 victory Tuesday over the Sacramento Kings at Staples Center. - Tosh | Shared With: Everyone - Apr 14 2008 | nba, lakers, basketball
Woot.
Quoted: The Los Angeles Lakers took sole possession of the Western Conference lead Sunday.

"They're the best in the West at this point," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Their rhythm is good, everybody knows their roles, they are playing confidently, defense looks very good. Heck of a team."ShareViewed: 2 Times - Tosh | Shared With: Everyone - Jan 23 2008 | nba, flea, lakers, basketball
Laker fan Flea writes an open letter to the fans to stop booing players.
Quoted: i am embarrassed today to be counted among the number who derisively boo our current starting center kwame brown
...
though i was not at the game, and though i would never boo a laker player, i am shamedWhatever. I think boos can be motivating and sometimes necessary when you see a team or player playing below their ability. Relentless booing of a team, every time they possess the ball, should be be reserved for the Celtics and of course the Kings (that's for KA Parker).

You must be Tosh's friend before you can comment on this Fave.The biggest thing most talk radio sportscasters in LA are talking about is the "difficulty" the Lakers might face in Salt Lake City next round because "they haven't really faced playoff basketball yet".
Yeah, I think that is probably true. I don't know what happen to the Nuggets. They were a 50 win team this year.
