Though I'm a Big Steve Nash Fan, I still firmly believe Kobe is the MVP. He has shown total dominance not seen since MJ in the late 80's-early 90's. I believe the key is for Kobe to play that controlled style of game, keep it close till the fourth quarter and then unleash the REAL Kobe on the Suns. The kobe that averaged near 40 pts all year long. There is no way the suns will be able to contain him.
Also, they need Lamar Odom to hold Marion in check. Shawn Marion is a key part of their success so as long as they have him playing at like 30% of what he really is, the Lakers should have no problems. But then again, things dont always work out the way you want them to.
How about that Pacers/Nets series? I couldnt help but laugh when Anthony Johnson of all people called out Vince Carter for not being tough. Carter isn't tough at all, not saying he isn't a top flight superstar but tough he is not. So what happens, Carter proceeds to drop 21 pts in the first half last night, cruising to half-time with a comfortable lead. Johnson says "ok, now my turn" and proceeds to make Jason Kidd is B*tch and runs all over the Nets. Carter on the other hand, follows up with a 0/11 FG 2nd half. This series will also hit 7 games.
