With Andrew Bynum back in the mix next year, will the Lakers make it to the big dance next year? They think so.
Although the Los Angeles Lakers’ season ended with a thud, they have Andrew Bynum coming back and youth and Kobe Bryant on their side, so they can say “Wait ’til next year†and be taken seriously.

The Celtics’ big men, exemplified by Kevin Garnett in Game 6, were more than the Lakers could handle.
