I think its way too early to count us out... Chris Mihm is injured for the Lakers-not that he was an integral part of their team but the centers taking his place are pretty pathetic so that hurts them. Kobe is trying to do everything, playing so many minutes he's an injury waiting to happen. Not to mention their tough schedule coming up As far as the Kings go--they are just another Ron Artest meltdown away from a losing streak. I'm going to have faith until the Rox are mathematically eliminated from the Playoffs...
