I think one major reason why Spurs failed so badly is that they thought they were as good as the Lakers. So they were shocked and never recovered. For Bucks, Sixers or even Rockets to match up against Lakers, they are undedogs, and they won't be discouraged so much even after being blown out, since they know from the start, nobody thinks they can win. There is little to lose. Not that they don't want the rings, but they know no matter what, they have nothing to be ashamed of losing to the Lakers, after Spurs' disgrace exit. I don't think the Eastern Champion can lose in any way more humiliating the the Spurs. Knowing this, the team from the East may be able to win a game from the Lakers. ------------------

Lakers in 4. I thought it would be in 5 to get an extra home game for LA and to celebrate at home, but I think they have a point to make and going undefeated in the playoffs is that point.
Lakers in 3. Just like the Lakers-Spurs series. 3-0 is all they need. That's hell of a boring postseason! Go Bucks! ------------------ Technically speaking, we're #1! ~Portland fans
