As much as I want Lakers to win the series! I hate to tell you all not to underestimate Phoenix Suns. I have my fingers crossed for the Spurs to lose cause I don't want to see them playing against Mavs ! (Me too happens to be a MFFL) I am a bit skeptical about Mavericks winning the series if they play the spurs cause Spurs kicks everyone's ass! About Kobe, I don’t think there is any one in NBA that is as good as him -- not even Nash!
