The Lakers will not have home court advantage in the Conference Finals and may not even have them in the Conference Semi's. I think they have lost a step, Artest is not holding his own, Bynum is over-rated, Kobe has lost the drive and motivation, They are done. Kobe may be the best finisher in the game but if you are behind double digits in the 4th quarter he may not get a chance to finish. With them being tied with Oklahoma City for the third best record in the West behind San Antonio and Dallas and having already lost 8 games at home as it is, the Lakers are in bad shape to 3-peat. Duncan has a couple in San Antonio, never like Dallas and never will as long as Cuban owns the team, can't stand the Lakers, always been a Kevin Durant fan from the time he was at Texas and would love to see OKC make a run. Don't think they can beat San Antonio but would like to see them get to the finals. Durant and Westbrook are the best young duo in the game.
