Its been two days since the Los Angeles Lakers lost in the NBA finals.
My feelings are that the Lakers gave up. They never had any sort of control in any of the games. No rebounds, reactive defense and no effort.
Look towards next year? Sure, but its an 82 game season, a lot can happen. And no matter how good Andrew Bynum is, he is still returning from injury. I hope for the best though.
I was bored and thought I photoshop Sasha Vujacic. Problem is the ‘Machine’ nickname is a bit absurd, he’s more like a broken machine. Like a fax machine that can only send and not receive. And even when sending, it isn’t consistent because you need to dial out several times. His game is like that; his offense is very streaky and defense is almost non-existent, with...

I can hear it now. All over the world where people are playing basketball and someone gets hurt, the comment, “Don’t bust a Paul Pierce!” will be forever immortalized.

He was carried off the court by teammates and trainer to the entry hall then wheeled away in a wheel chair. He sat in the locker room for maybe 5 minutes and came back out.
Now that was an unbelievable return! Came back and made two threes which pretty much changed the... Continue Reading...

Yep. I called it in the last post at half-time of game four of the Western Conference finals. I already knew that the Lakers were going to win games 4 and 5 and voila! We are back in the NBA Finals. Finally, I don’t have to hear any more about the Spurs.
As for who the Lakers will face? I personally think it would be an easier match up against the Celtics just because even though they got the ’supposed’ Big 3; they choke. Only when they are playing at their best, they are really good and quite a scary team. However, their inability to win on the road in the first two rounds gives me assurance that the Lakers can win easily in a NBA Finals match up with them.
The Pistons offer a more difficult series because of their style of play, the been there and battle tested... Continue Reading...
