First of all John La Rock needs to learn how to type in english.

Second of all, I think the Pistons have the ability to upset, but that doesn't mean they will. Everybody needs to quit talking about "shutting down" players, Shaq will not be shut down, Kobe will not be shut down, simple as that. If they want to win they have to play good team defense. What sets the Lakers above every other team is their role players. Sure Kobe and Shaq are amazing, but without Rush they would be in a game seven, if it wasn't for Derek Fisher they may never have made it out of round 2. Kobe and Shaq are going to come up big every night, guys like Fisher, George, Rush, Medvedenko, Fox etc. are not stars in the league, and a big reason guys are not stars is because they are not consistant, put a damper on those five guys and the Lakers main advantage is gone. Then you have to worry about their big threats.
