The Lakers are 9-3 in their last 12 road games. With the Lakers playing more disciplined (inside-out), they're a much better team now. But it's all up to Bynum. If Bynum balls, this series is over in 5. If he doesn't, it's going 6 or 7.
Agree on Bynum. The only decent road win the Lakers had the last couple of weeks was the Spurs blowout. I don't think the Nuggets will be an easy out but we'll see.
Lakers will sit their key players against the Kings, except for maybe Kobe. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/...bryant-regular-season-finale-sacramento-kings IMO, the bottom line is (if Kobe plays) there is no way he gets enough minutes to score 38 points. You can put in the bank KD will finish as the scoring leader.
Kobe doesn't care about scoring title. FMVP is the only thing that matters for him. If he's all about scoring title, he'd easily get at least 10 more in that 7-12, 18 pts Spurs game.
