L.A. Sports Update

First, the bad news. The Dodgers were swept at home for the first time in five years by the hated Giants. I guess it's a good thing I didn't go to the game tonight, as there are probably some seriously bent Dodger fans in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium looking for someone to shoot. Overall, the Dodger outlook is still looking good, but they're going to need Rafael Furcal to start hitting soon. I know he's notoriously bad in April and that he's coming off an injury, but they need his offense.

On the bright side, the Lakers got off the mat in their playoff series with the Suns. They are still serious underdogs to win in this series, and if they lose their next game at home and go down 3-1, the series is all but over. Then again, if they win the next one and tie it up and 2-2, it becomes a best of three series... and I suppose anything could happen.

The Suns are really freaking good, though. There's really no reason they should need to let this series go to 7 games, outside of a serious injury to one of their big 6. Any casual basketball fan should be following this series closely as it has the most entertaining, uptempo offense in the NBA (the Suns) against the most talented player in the NBA (Kobe Bryant).
