I think the difference in the way the Kings play the Lakers and the way they played the Mavs is confidence. The Kings KNEW they could make their shots against the Mavs and didn't know if they could make their shots against the Lakers. If the Kings don't let the Lakers get into their heads, they are physically capable of winning the WCF. It's the same hurdle the rest of the teams have. There is not much of a talent gap among the Lakers/Kings/Mavs/Spurs. The Lakers have the psychological advantage.
