The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves 3-0 in the best of 7 series against the Utah Jazz Saturday night. The Lakers have now won 5 straight in the playoffs and are showing that they are the class of the Western Conference. These victories haven't been blow-out victories but the Lakers have stayed competitive and have a man by the name of Kobe Bryant to close out the games at the end. This wasn't a fair series for the Utah Jazz who are undersized with the loss of center Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko (who returned to action Saturday night). The Jazz have put up a strong fight but not coming out with the victory. Ron Artest showed up for Game 4 (my favorite Laker player) and the bench played a key role. The Lakers are still the most talented team in the league and the only way to for them to not win the title is for them to beat themselves.
