It was a disappointing end to the season for the Los Angeles Lakers last year. After winning back to back championships, they were ousted in the postseason early by the Dallas Mavericks. At least they can take some solace in the fact that the Mavs ended up winning the championship.

Phil Jackson has retired for good, apparently, and the Lakers now have head coach Mike Brown in charge. And if the lockout can help any team in the world, it's probably the Lakers. That's because Kobe Bryant needs time to rest and recover, and he's played more minutes than anybody else in the league over the past few years when you consider all of his deep runs to the playoffs, plus his Olympics action and so forth.

A healthy and fresh Kobe is probably a scary thing for other teams in the league, and he'll have his running partners back in Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. So will Andrew Bynum also be able to stay healthy and play consistently?

If all four of those guys are at their best, the Lakers still have to be on the short list of title favorites, although they have some holes to fill, as guys like Derek Fisher are past their best at this point. They're hard to find, so if you see any available LA Lakers tickets, be sure to go, watch the game, star gaze at the celebrities and enjoy the unique LA experience.
