Kobe’s wraith has been felt. He has pissed on Pierce all game while shutting him down on D. Kobe played great, nuff said. Their defense stepped up and was much more active. Pau did a very good job of getting his hands up and contesting. Vujacic was fantastic, giving them an unexpected lift. Despite the Lakers struggles offensively, I think Laker fans would take it, as they know every game will be a struggle against this defense.
With that said, had it not been for KG and Pierce playing like complete horse’s @sses and Doc refusing to just run screen after screen for Ray THEY WOULD HAVE WON! Ray could have double dub smacked the Lakers last night. 40 was not unattainable for Ray last night. I have seen that body language from his before. Great job Doc. Force the ball to two men who seemingly have no idea what sport they are playing tonight – Great.
Now, back to PadreHuevosGordos and my thoughts on why LA is in trouble. That game was the game for them to wreck the Celtics. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see Odom having much more of an impact. So other than Odom having an above average game, the Lakers took their best shot and barely come out alive. The Celtics played horribly, yet had a chance. Celtics fans shouldn’t be too worried.
You have stated very well my exact feelings. And I am surprised at Odom's seeming lack of interest in the game. He's really kinda stepped his game down for the series. I love Vujacic's play though, he's like a water bug on defense, scooting around picks & bothering his man.
I'm guessing KJ gets it into his head to show Gasol how the game is played in the next couple of contests. Gasol has made KG look ineffective, and it's time for a snap back to form.
