Like I predicted it San Antonio eliminated Phoenix and New Orleans got rid of Dallas. I expected both games to go to six but both ended in 5. We(Lakers) finally got our revenge from The Suns after they eliminated us in the 1st round 2 years in a row. Now we are the team moving to the 2nd round, take that.
Many experts are also doubting the trade moves both eliminated teams(Kidd to Dallas and Shaq to Phoenix) made after The All Star Game, I say all teams in The West had to make a move and take a risk when they saw The Lakers acquire Pau Gasol.None of them were competitive enough at that point. San Antonio got some defensive size with Kurt Thomas and re-signed Brent Barry. So fans, don't blame the front office, it was a much needed strategic move that just didn't work. It's part of the game, you take gamble, sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don't.
There's only one series left in the West, Utah-Houston(3-2), Houston just blew out Utah by 25 points and might take it to game 7. Please be my guest, because the winner of that series will face The Lakers and will be probably tired.
Here are some highlights:
