When asked by a reporter if he thought that the Lakers would be able to withstand the type of “smash mouth” basketball that the Jazz are going to bring upon the Lakers during the rest of their series, Kobe Bryant replied in a simple manner with his usual quite confidence, “It doesn’t matter to us.”
In case you haven’t been able to tell at all this season; Kobe Bryant has complete confidence in this team.
“We aint no punks,” Bryant added. “You want to play ugly, we’ll play ugly. You want to play finesse, we’ll play finesse. It doesn’t matter.”
It’s easy to see why Kobe has so much faith in this squad. Examples such as finishing with the best record in the Western Conference, sweeping Denver in Round 1, and a victory over the Utah Jazz kick off this series show the Lakers are ready for anything.
“We have to continue to practice, continue to tweak things,” Bryant added.
As the elder statesman of the team, Derek Fisher would like to see his young Lakers team remain focused on taking care of business in the playoffs. “We’ve done a good job so far in the postseason of taking it one game at a time.”
