Lakers can't win without Gasol

Gasol sprained his ankle early in the Lakers-Hornets game on Friday night, and consequently, Kobe's lakers could not hold off the Hornets, losing 108-98. Kobe had 36/9/3 in the loss. The Lakers are now tied for first in the West with the red hot Rockets, who have won 21 straight.

I have a feeling that if the Lakers get the top spot in the West, Kobe will be wrongfully chosen as the MVP, and if they finish in the top 4, it will depend on how the Cavs finish the season. If the Lakers finish 5th or lower (quite possible since Dallas, the 7th seed, is only 3 games back of first), Lebron should be unanimously selected as the MVP.

I won't be updating this until Sunday due to excessive drinking, when the Cavs beat the Bobcats, and the Lakers fall to the Rockets.



Where 21 in a row happens.
