Los Angeles Lakers Ticket Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers are going into the 2010-11 season a bit out of the limelight, which is absurd, really. The odds makers in Vegas are favoring the Heat to win it all, not the two-time defending champion Lakers. The Heat are drawing a lot of attention this year due to a few pre-season acquisitions. The Lakers? Well, they have kept basically the same roster intact from last season. The same two time NBA Championship winning roster. And they run their offense through the most dominating player of the last decade, Kobe Bryant.
So how will the proven Lakers stand up to the Heat this season? Who knows. But coach Phil Jackson wins championships in threes; 1991 – 1993 and 1996-1998 with the Bulls, and 2001-2003 with the Lakers. Maybe history will repeat itself and outsmart the odds.
