In case you hadn't heard, Pau Gasol was traded to the LA Lakers back in January. That one trade has done more to disrupt the balance of power in the Western Conference than any other action since Magic Johnson announced he had contacted the AIDS ...Los Angeles Versus Utah Preview
David Friedman posted 5/3/2008 from 20secondtimeout.blogspot.com
This figures to be a tough series because Utah is a physical team that made it to the Conference Finals last year but if T-Mac and Rafer Alston can get two games off of the Jazz it is hard to picture Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and company losing a series to them.

Posted 5/5/2008 on 20 Second Timeout
Kobe Bryant's 38 points, seven assists and six rebounds in the Lakers' 109-98 game one win over the Jazz were actually only slightly above his playoff averages in those departments, an indication of just how high of a standard he has set for himself. Bryant shot 8-16 from the field and 21-23 from the free throw line, setting a franchise single game playoff record for free throws made. Pau ...Hate Me Now

Kobe (photo. Chris Sembrot) What excuse could the Lakers-haters use after yesterday’s display? Even against a well-coached team that actually plays team defense and doesn’t have any — as far as we know — significant internal locker-room strife or heart/balls issues, the Lakers looked as sharp as ever: Kobe Bryant (38 pts) was unstoppable, Pau Gasol [...]A few Jazzy thoughts

Just wanted to throw out two cents worth on a few elements I think could become important during the series. Length vs. Physicality I could easily see this series evolving into a battle of the above listed.

It’s the triangle offense, now available in version 3.0 . These days, Kobe Bryant offers an alley-oop Pau Gasol’s way and the two can exchange roles the very next play. Luke Walton posts up, then drifts out for a three-point shot, or Lamar Odom ducks and dives his way to the rim for enough double-doubles to fill his heart’s content.

Phil Jackson (he's the coach) appeared on PTI's Five Good Minutes segment this afternoon. He discusses the championship potential of this Lakers squad, efforts to get Pau Gasol last season, Kobe as the MVP and his evolution of a player, the Hack-a-Shaq, and why AK's sense of fashion needs to improve.

Over the last couple of months, we’ve focused much of our NBA attention on the three blockbuster trades that went down within a couple weeks of each other. We spoke highly of the Lakers’ trade theft of Pau Gasol, and expressed some doubts about the moves for Jason Kidd and Shaquille O’Neal . Well, it turns out those concerns were justified. Pau’s Lakers? Moving on. ...Bryant's Fourth Quarter Scoring Lifts Lakers to 107-101 Win, Series Sweep
