Hornets @ Lakers
wcsoldier:
It's same shit different postseason for the Lakers ... they bring it in the games they have to win ( pivotal Game 3 on the road , Game 5 when series is tied 2-2) whereas they don't play with the same intensity and energy when they have a margin of error
BUT you have to give credit to NOH ... they play solid D , Monty is doing a great job with his in between games adjustments ...
they tied a NBA playoffs record with fewest TO in a game (3) , their bench established a shooting FG% record in the same Game 1 and they have the best player in these playoffs so far (ain't even close) ... who had another historical performance in Game 4 ( 20+pts 15+assist 10+rbs... first time it happened in the postseason for 20-30 years (don't exactly remember )
Each time you are going to put a such performance , you have a good chance to win the game
As far as Lakers struggles the explanation is very simple imo : the team goes as your best players go :
so far : Kobe 3 good games , 2 crap games
Pau : 2 ok games , 3 crap games ( that's the biggest surprise , he used to be VERY consistent in these latest playoffs runs)
LO: 2 good games, 1 ok game, 2 crap games
If it wasn't for Artest and Bynum consistent play , we would be down in this series

Anyway, even if lakers have trouble with Landry, the hornets missing heir second best player makes them a weaker team, period. At least last night, the real lakers showed up. I fully expect them to end he series in 6 now. Lakers are just too deep and big they shoulda swept.

12...whats the point, though? i been watchin basketball since i was born
and yes, we shoulda swept, but we're notorious for not showing up against weaker opponents...that's why the only laker fans who panicked were fans who don't understand the dynamic of the team. same fans who were panicking when we were tied 2-2 with oklahmoa last year. if u know the lakers, u know whatsup.

The Lakers have been pretty good at closing out game 6s on the road, but I see this one going to game 7.
