Jackson, Lakers believe future is bright

 
The healing process has begun for the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite their loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals, which included a 39-point defeat in the decisive Game 6, the Lakers believe their future is bright. Lakers coach Phil Jackson and general manager Mitch Kupchak each said Friday afternoon that they believe the team can be a contender for the next five to six years. "We're not about looking back at what we did wrong," Jackson said. (link)
