The Lakers are the Most Complete Team In The NBA

The Lakers crushed the Thunder last night 107-93 last night to run their record to 47-10. Kobe Bryant erupted for 36 points on 13 for 21 shooting. Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 32 points but it wasn't enough to overcome L.A. The Lakers now have an 8 game lead with 25 to play over the Spurs for the Western Conference's number 1 seed. The Lakers continue to play the basketball in the NBA and look like a sure bet to go to the Finals. L.A. is so deep that they have only lost one game since losing their starting center. The Lakers have swept the season series from the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference and seem poised to make a long playoff run. If L.A. gets a healthy Bynum back in time for the playoffs, I don't see how any team in the NBA can contend with the Lakers team depth and front court height. Throw in the NBA's best 4th quarter finisher and L.A. has a great shot at winning its first championship since 2002.
