Let's take a look at the surmised results for my Western Conference SemiFinals. I have a feeling that L.A. will go against the Dallas Mavericks on their road to the Finals. However, I think L.A.'s winning streak has finally come to an end. Their results with the New Orleans Hornets were already disappointing. Although Hornets are not as challenging as other teams, they still had trouble handling Chris Paul in the perimeter and David West owning the post. Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant's highlights were nowhere to be found.
As a result, I strongly feel that Lakers will not make it to the Finals this year.
Also, I think this might be one of Kobe's last few years in the league. Because of his age, it is time for him to leave the spotlight to the younger teammates. His era is slowly dying out. Definitely, this season was not as great as any other seasons that he had. Although he is a champion, skilled player, and a outstanding athlete, his attributes that were signifying the team are now not as utilizing.
