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.

L.A. Beats the Thunder 105-98
Seven in a row. The L.A. Lakers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder to push their winning streak to seven straight games. The big three led the Lakers to a relatively easy win. The Lakers never trailed after the second quarter. Kobe scored 34 points and 7 rebounds, Gasol scored 22 points and had 14 rebounds, Lamar Odom added 12 points and 18 rebounds. Trevor Ariza, Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic kicked in 27 points off the bench. The Thunder were led by sophomore phenom Kevin Durant with 31. Russell Westbrook added 17 and Jeff Green had 16 as the Thunder dropped to 13-39.
Kobe is making a serious run at the NBA's MVP award. He has led the Lakers to the best record in the NBA at 42-9 just as LeBron James and the Cavs are hitting a rough stretch. Kobe has taken this team on his shoulders and is averaging over 35 PPG for the month of February.
The Lakers will try to win their eight in a row against the Jazz tomorrow night. This is the Lakers last game before the All Star break and hopefully they can carry their current momentum over into the rest of the season.
