What happened while in Lakerland I was away? The Los Angeles Lakers made the playoffs as #1 seeds in the tough Western Conference, got a scare from the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder, and then swept the Utah Jazz. Now the Lakers are back as well, in the Western Conference Finals, that is.
Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and the rest of the Lakers look to avenge their two straight playoff exits three years ago against the Phoenix Suns led by two-time MVP Steve Nash.
Speaking of two-time MVP's, NBA.com has sponsored a giveaway of this season's MVP, LeBron James, here in Big Lakers Fan. I was asking for a Kobe poster, but apparently, they ran out-- people will have to settle for a poster of the game's *second* best player.
So how do you get the LeBron James poster? Very simple: Guess the team assist/turnover ratio of the Los Angeles Lakers will have in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. (Tip: you can refer to NBA.com's team stats page to make a more educated guess).
Post your guess by commenting on this blog post. The good thing is that you can make at most three guesses as long as you make one guess per comment. The closest person who will make the guess will get the LeBron James poster courtesy of NBA.com.
The deadline of making your guesses is on May 17, 8pm ET (just before Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals starts). In case of a tie, folks who made the guesses will be selected at random.
Make that guess and take home the spiffy LeBron James poster.
It's good to be back! :D
