Is this LA's year?

Could the Lakers take it this year? Kobe, Odom and Gasol are on song and if their is a coach around the league that knows how to win a championship it's Phil Jackson.

What do people think?

Speaking as a Lakers fan I would love to see a modern day revival of the Celtics V Lakers rivalry for the championship. Which for those who don't know Started when Elgin Baylor and Jerry West were begining their carrers back in the late 50's early 60's and the celtics beat the lakers in 7 different grand final series'. the rivalry was the re ignited with the Magic V Bird rivalry in which the lakers had the better of Boston.

Now in my opinion would be a fantastic oportunity to see another chapter in the rivalry written.

by the way championship count
Lakers 14 none since 01-02(both as Minneapolis and LA)
Celtic 16 none since 85-86

Yeah, a Celtics-Lakers rivalry would be awesome. Think about the matchups. KG on Gasol? Ray on Kobe or Pierce on Kobe? Pierce on Odom perhaps??
It would be a very interesting championship series of they did meet.

I believe this is possible. Once the trade for Gasol was made, it feels right and like that Gasol was the missing piece of the puzzle.

I said since that trade, it's worth placing money on the Lakers. It still is.

I think the Lakers can do it and I'd love to see a modern day rivalrly match-up with the Celtics.

The Lakers will be strong if Bynum can return and make an impact.

Let's see what happens.
