One is James Harden, the future commanding star.
The other is Devin Booker, a die-hard fan of Kobe.
Earlier in the regular season, Qin Yue, who fought fiercely with the Lakers to the last moment in every game, had already fully felt the power of the "Snake and Cannon" combo.
Paul was responsible for steering the Lakers during the regular time.
During crucial plays and decisive moments, Kobe would take over the game.
There's no doubt that these Lakers, who have their strengths on the court just like the Warriors, are the top Western opponents on the Warriors' quest for a three-peat this year.
For the 11/12 season, the complete first-round playoff matchups in the West are as follows:
Warriors vs Jazz.
Lakers vs Nuggets.
Mavericks vs Clippers.
Grizzlies vs Supersonic.
As for the East, the top four from the East—Knicks, Pacers, Heat, Bulls—will face off against the Magic, Bobcats, Hawks, and Celtics, respectively.
