We #1 Baby

Yepp! What a turnaround this season was, we proved the skeptics wrong. Many counted us out since Kobe voiced his disappointment with the management and Andrew Bynum last summer. But what it did is rally the troops and the team was standing by him, he became the leader many waited him to be since Shaq left. On top of that Mitch Kupchak made some very impressive moves, when many including me were asking for his resignation.
We got Fisher, Gasol(what a steal) and Ariza (finally got rid of Kwame). However, the biggest surprise was the improvement of Bynum he was having a monster season before the injury making his presence felt on every court, Kobe was trusting him finally and the team was back together. Odom is very comfortable as the #3 option of the team, his numbers have improved tremendously. Gasol is just magnificent. Props also to the best bench in the League: Farmar, Vujacic and Turiaf are very consistent.
Today on the last game for The Lakers and The Hornets, we needed a win or a loss by The Hornets to clinch the #1 seed in The West. The Hornets won by beating The Clippers and we took manner on our own hands by beating Sacramento. So now we have home court advantage all the way to The Western Conference Finals.
Kobe 4 MVP!!!!!
