The Lakers have ZERO to play for than

[dickiesports]

Why in the world would Phil play any starters or KOBE ? This is a situation where you are going to see an injury screw them.......Just watch.

I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THEM PLAYING AT HOME, THATS HOW THEY MAKE THERE MONEY. IF THEY BENCH ALL OF THE STARTERS THE FANS WILL GET PISSED AND SAY :thefinger

It also has to do with the fact that they will more than likely be playing Utah in the first round, and they can't lose and give Utah the confidence in thinking that they can beat the lakers in LA
