If they play Los Angeles Lakers basketball, the championship caliber kind, they should be able to hoist another Larry O’Brien trophy in about a
month. Does that mean that it’s going to be an easy road, of course not. But the Lakers know exactly what to expect and what it takes:
The Lakers – should they advance to the Finals – won’t be surprised by anything. Whether they win or lose – it’ll come down to execution. They should be able to beat the Celtics – they should be able to beat the Magic (even though that won’t be easy – especially with no home court advantage). The biggest question would be the Cavaliers but they may not get the chance to test LA.
So as we sit and speculate about what the next month of basketball will bring one thing is still certain: the Lakers are halfway back to another banner and another parade, and it seems the only team in their way is themselves.
