I know i shouldn't talk about next series before we finish the jazz but when i am going to be watching the houston and portland games, i don't know if i should root for the rockets or the blazers. the rockets would be easier for the lakers plus we get to see kobe and artest go at it for at least 4 games, or if we play blazers it would be such a competitive awesome intense series and also would tune us up for the wc finals and the finals. Which would be a better 2nd round opponent????

As long as we don't face the Bobcats, I'm good with everyone.

As far as their matchup, because I'm not going to touch your premise, which is a newbie post...As far as who's going to win that series...
Portland is going to beat up the Rockets pretty handily. HOU is a flawed team. Artest's iso's kill me what other player in the league has the green light or does he? and takes them out of ball games single handedly. Outside of Yao they are very small. I wouldn't be surprised if they got swept.

you are so right. everytime artest touches the ball, you expect a shot no matter how crap, off-balance and stupid it is. if he touches the ball, you better believe hes taking the shot

cant you just enjoy the series as a neutral fan?
but if you're true laker fan, you're gonna want portland to face-plant themselves more than houston
not out of fear, but out of sheer hatred
and then all next season, portland fans have to contend with "OMG you lost to a first-round virgin team" and similar

Honestly this year I dont care who we face. I have that swagger that we can defeat anyone. After many years of being nervous for every round, this year I am holding my head up high. Who is Portland nobody, bunch of kids who are making noise. Who is Houston, a copy of failure who cant manage to get there talent to succed. Who is Utah, remains of a good team of last year. Who is Celevand, Lebrons golden child of the NBA being helped to make a big deal. Remember this is our YEAR dont let anyone tell you less. Not those needle D*** analyst on espn, not your friends who wish they liked that LAkers but its cooler to hate them. This is our time, our year, our moment. Lets enjoy it with our heads held up high.
GO LAKERS BABY all the way.

We are not going to have second round game threads. We just started the 1st. If you want to talk about other rounds and teams use the "Around the NBA" thread stickied up top.
