Pre-Playoff Lakers Links
By Ryan Kane
So the Lakers made the playoffs. Big surprise, right? They lead the western division. Another shocker, eh?
It seems like those are a given for the champions. Fans expected that, so it’s not exactly “breaking news” when it happens.
There are, however, a few notable items before we start the REAL season:
Kobe is sitting out more games due to injury. Never a good sign with an aging star who just happened to sign a contract extension.
The playoffs start against Oklahoma City. That’s a good thing. Or a bad thing.
Andrew Bynum is returning to practice this week. He might play again this season. Who really knows?
The Lakers are going to play in London during the next pre-season. Lets hope they don’t play the London Silly Nannies.
