I don't care if the Lakers win or lose tonight. I really don't. Kobe can score 82 for all I care, and it matters not a bit.

(So, how good of a liar am I? Really? That bad?)

With Phoenix's two really strong games against the Artest-era Kings and San Antonio's difficulty in matching up with Sacramento all season, some people have changed their mind, opting for a date with the Spurs.

Not me. I really really want the seven seed.

I'm a lover of lists, so here are my reasons:

Face it – the Kings have a huge challenge ahead of them. Seven seeds and eight seeds very rarely beat one seeds and two seeds. When they do, it's special. We don't know how special this team is yet. We should find out soon.Until then, I'm certainly not above opting for the easiest road and crossing my fingers. (Aren't the Kings due for a spoiler payback after 2003-04 anyways?)

Let's go Hornets!
