One dude can't do it all.

There is a lesson to be learned from the trials of my Lakers ... yes, My lakers.

I'm a true fan; a true fan who feels the lakers are doomed - My prediction? The suns SWEEP the lakers 4-0.

Before this playoff season began I was hoping my Lakers would lose! Why? Because I'm a true fan, and as a true fan I am not misled by hope. I am forever guided by reality. We've got the best player in all of basketball, and that's where it stops.

The lakers would have been much better off, missing the playoffs, getting a Good draft pick in the next seasons draft, and re-tooling the squad with a free-agent, maybe... K.G. - or someone else able to make an impact; someone to Help Kobe out.

The consensous is, if Kobe doesnt' score 50 ... or 60 .. the Lakers are doomed. So what happens when the Suns won't LET Kobe score 50 .. or 60? That's right - 4-0 Sweep. Bring out the brooms ladies and gents.

One man cannot do it all; maybe for a game or two, a stretch during the regular season; but in the playoffs? It's a whole new level ... teams are playin for a Championship; They can smell it - can almost touch it, and ONE man cannot stop a TEAM from getting closer to that goal.

So, with that being said, here's to hoping for a better year next year.

The sooner the Lakers get rid of Mitch Cupcheck, the better.
