Kenny Smith's Scorecard
Lakers Category Jazz Reason
Backcourt Lakers Deron Williams will be a tough cover for the Lakers, but the Jazz have to stop Kobe.
Frontcourt Lakers With Bynum back, Gasol moves to his more natural PF position. Boozer hasn't returned to form.
Bench Lakers Bynum's return makes Odom a tough matchup off the bench.
Coaching Lakers Jerry Sloan still gets his team to execute better than most, but Phil Jackson has nine rings.
Kenny's Pick: Lakers

Kenny's Pick is the LAKERS. This could be a physical five games, but the Lakers are clearly the best in West. Lakers in 5.
