2011 NBA Playoffs Round 1: Lakers vs Hornets preview

[Juges8932]

Sadly, this series will probably go 6 games. Tbh, I wouldn't even be shocked if it went 7. The Lakers get so damn complacent and cocky that it is embarrassing. We saw what happened against the Rockets. Try one game- blow them out by 30. Get lazy- get blown out by 25.

The only Lakers who show up to play every game are Kobe and Fisher. I think Ron Ron does too.

They would have played an injury plagued first round team regardless of whether it had been New Orleans, Memphis, or Portland. Of course that's not why you're bitching is it?

Apparently...the Lakers are always perfectly healthy and never have any health issues to deal with

My brother's name is Chris, my name is Paul, and I ate cereal 3 days ago.

Is this a sign that I'm the new CP3?

Im glad we are matched up w/ the hornets. We match up better with them.

I hope the Lakers don't even make the WCF. The bandwagon already started rolling here in L.A and Lakers fans are annoying.

The only concern is the Lakers lack of focus. If Kobe makes sure everyone (especially the bench) is locked in, it should be a sweep.

Lakers should stomp over this one.
David West still out?
Hornets Frontline can't match Lakers Frontcourt, and the Lakers Bigs can easily bully the Hornets.
Chris Paul would need to pull of a miracle to win one game.
Lakers in 4.

Classy post.

If the Lakers actually decide to play as champs, they should win this series in 4 or 5 games. But if they feel not too motivated like they have for most of the season then this series will go 6 or even 7(see the Houston series in 09).

If we see the Ron we saw last year in the play-offs, we should be fine

Hornets management the past few years has shit on the fans, just thought I'd return the favor.

Lakers in 4-5 games. Lakers go playoff mode.
