I think that the Lakers got a horrible draw. Even though they will get past Utah, the Jazz gives them tough games often and are very tough at home. They play a physical style that will it a short but physically demanding series. They follow that up the Portland/Houston winner. I think they get past that series too but we all know how tough Portland plays them, especially in Portland and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it go seven. If it's Houston, the Lakers would have an easier time of winning but it would be probably tougher physically. Their best hope then would be having Dallas in the conference finals cause then they could rest. Whoever it is in the conference finals would be easier for them than what they will get in the first two rounds.
