After the all-star break Kobe made it clear that the Lakers will make the play-off he indirectly challenged his team to step their game up, and since then the Lakers have played the best basketball of the season and put themselves in a position to win and make the play offs. Last night’s win in Portland put them a whole one game over the 9th place Utah jazz and if they keep this up they will have a date with the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. CAN THE LAKERS HOLD OUT THE YOUNG JAZZ TEAM?????
