Kobe and Lakers want NBA title

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Lakers are primed and ready and feel that no team can stop them from taking the NBA 2009 title series from the Orlando Magic.
Who cares about the Celtics and the injured Garnett?
Who cares about the Cavaliers and the non-talking LeBron?
Who cares that Dwight Howard seems to be coming into his own and was more than Cleveland could handle?
Kobe is focused
Not the Lakers, their focus is only on winning the title and not on who shows up to play against them or how they got there. Even though Jackson could retire and Kobe could go free agent, the Lakers will have no distractions. They will only have their eyes on the prize!
Like the Celtics last spring, the Lakers’ hunger was evident on the eve of the Finals. Their resolve combined with their playoff experience of the past two seasons makes them the favorite of many pundits to win the franchise’s 15th NBA championship.
“Obviously, we’re mad,” Gasol said. “We’re upset about losing in the Finals, especially the way we lost. Also, the last game, we just felt we could have given it a better shot than we did. But it didn’t happen, and now we’re here again.”
