I haven't been anywheres near my computer througout the evening, I ended up passing by Yahoo! Sports to see that the Lakers won... my next stop was here, there are no laker threads... I see one about Derek fisher and Rick fox... but other than that... I don't see any, there is usually a series of flame wars going on about the Kings Smearing the lakers all over the court or the Lakers kicking King butt or whatever.
My Take:
Anyways, me being a lakers fan, I Feel that it is my job to celebrate so here it is... (Woo!).
Also as a lakers fan it sucks to say... I don't think the lakers will win this series. I have done a quick compare and contrast to show you why I think the kings will win.
This is what the lakers have going for them:
1. Phil Jackson is a great coach, he has proven that throughout the years. He knows how to win.
2. Shaq and Kobe are a very good combination. They are scoring machines.
3. The Laker Defense when it's on track makes it extremely difficult to score
4. The Lakers have very reliable clutch shooters (I.E. - Robert Horry)
5. the lakers are an incredible fourth quarter team
This is where the kings pound the lakers:
1. There are 5 guys at the start of the game who are being constantly rotated into the game who can shoot and who can score.
2. Vlade Divac may have a mouth, but the guy knows what he's doing, flopping may be "cheating" but it's part of the game, and as much as Shaq helps my team, basketball isn't a contact sport. Vlade Doesn't cheat, he plays smart.
2a. Shaq doesn't want to play defense on Vlade and Vlade can hit the outside shot... if I where vlade, I wouldn't bother taking the ball inside
3. Bibby has to be one of the top Point guards in the NBA aside from Jason Kidd, what opportunity that they kings don't have, he creates.
4. Peja Stojakovic is still out! What happens when he comes back????
4a. Props to Turkoglu stepping up being an awesome 6th man.
5. Chris Webber... the man can do it all... nuff said (I could do it all too if I was dating Tyra banks)
6. Doug Christie... (who I believe was up for defensive player of the year, and is mean from beyond the arc when opportunity is provided.)
That's just a basic reason why I think it's rediculous that this series isn't over yet... Anything that I missed? the reason I started this thread is so that you all can see that not all laker fans are ethnocentric, self-centered, bandwagon, super all-star NBA Analysts. Lakers aren't the best team in the NBA, they have yet to prove it, the only thing they've proved to me so far, is that they're extremely lucky. If you saw the last 30 seconds of tonights game, I didn't, I'd assume you know what I mean.
