So, it's pretty obvious that if one of those hot-tempered thugs takes Kobe out (in a particular way,) then the series is over. I would guess it would most likely be Smith, but Billups is the only one I'd rule out. Even Linus(pssd cuz Snoopy got his blue blanky) is a candidate.
Gasol fits in very nicely with this team.
Last year he got beat up by the Celtics.
They had too many big guys for him.
He has very nice mobility, can pass, can
get out on screens on D, does a nice job on the
offensive boards. He is their second best player.
He goes down and the Lakers are out. No way
Bynum, in his current state, can touch what
Gasol is doing right now. A stronger forward with some mobility
like Millsap, Brandon Bass or even Scola would
really help imo, along with a PG.

Kobe of course is a given.
Hell if the Lakers took Carmello or Billups
out the series would end.
