Lakers 3 Suns 1

My current working theory on why the Lakers are suddenly the team to beat in the playoffs is the following: The Lakers have the freshest legs of all the playoff teams. All the other teams have played 82 games prior to the playoffs, while the Lakers have sat around watching Kobe play 82 games. Still, I maintain my boycott of cheering for the Lakers until Kobe no longer wears their uniform. I'd like the Lakers (the team) to do well, but I fear in my efforts to not cheer for them I'm slipping into actively rooting against them.
