Because the Lakers were tested in the West playoffs last season, Kobe Bryant was asked if it's a big deal for them to have the top seeding in their conference.
"It doesn't matter," Bryant said. "You got to win games on the road too. You're not going to win every home game. You are eventually going to relinquish home court at some point. You wish that was not the case, but it happens."
The Lakers are 20-13 on the road this season, not quite up to last season's 29-12 mark.
Still, Bryant said he remains confident in his team's ability to perform on the road.
"I am, but it doesn't mean it's not trouble," Bryant said. "That Denver series last season scared … all of us — Houston too."
The Nuggets won Game 2 of the conference finals at Staples Center before losing in six games to the Lakers.
The Rockets were the only team in the playoffs that pushed the Lakers to a seven-game series.
"So, I am extremely confident," Bryant said. "But at the same time, I know how dangerous that is."
Doesn't actually sound that confident; he'd probably be happier if his bench showed up. O Jordan Farmar, where art thou?
