This Needed to be Over

The Lakers needed to make quick work of the Hornets and get rest for their next opponents. Now that the Lakers have lost game one making the series 1~0. Then they winning games two and three making the series 2~1. Trying to take a commanding lead in game for but coming up short and evening the series at 2~2. Tonight the Lakers go for the 3~2 lead in the series by winning tonight and going back to New Orleans to close out the series. They won't have the same amount of time to rest and regroup but they can adn will probably over come. End of game five Lakers are the better men having the series right where they want it at 3~2. NO GAME SEVEN!!

Kobe's Tutor, Teacher, and Inspiration

So Far so Good

The Lakers are starting to play like themselves going into the playoffs. They won their last two games against the Spurs and the Kings which means they have the number two seed in the west. This is good news because they don't have to prepare for the Trailblazers who had beat them a fews weeks earlier. The Lakers now have to prepare for their game against the Hornets who the Lakers can handle better. The Lakers are on the right path to get back on track with their goal of winning it all three years in a row. The playoffs for the Lakers start in three days against the Hornets, this is the perfect oppotunity to show that they still got their edge and to show that age is only a number and that number doesn't mean a thing.

Back in the Day

It's a Start

The Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs yesterday with a score of 102 ~ 93. Most of the reason the Lakers won that game was to the fact that Manu Ganobli wasn't playing and Tim Duncan wasn't playing either. The only started that was dressed to play was Jefferson and Tony Parker but Parker didn't play. That probably was the main reason the Lakers won that game. Now that they have won a game and gained a little bit of confidence the Lakers need to go to Sacrameto and beat the Kings on their home court. Them they need to pray that the Clippers can use the Staple Center to their advantage and beat the Mavericks so the Lakers can clinch the two seed in the west. The Lakers really needed this win or they would be looking at a four seed or even a five seed which would not be good for them. This is a good start but they need to keep this minor win rolling.

This is Lakers Basketball

Three Chances Left

The Lakers have three games left in the season. Their next game is against the San Antonio Spurs. The same Spurs that the Lakers were chasing down at one point trying to get teh best record in the west and in the league. Even though that ship has sailed for the Lakers if they can win these next three games they might have some kind of energy going into the playoffs. Here's some good news though Kobe Bryant was called for a double technical foul during their game against the Thunder. Greatfully that tech was walved off and Kobe can still play unless he gets another tech. I don't know what the Lakers plan to do against but I do know that they need to get back to Laker basketball and stop letting whack teams push them around. The Lakers are playing like they aren't two time champions. They are playing like Phil Jackson doesn't desirve to go what with honors and respect and no regrets. Phil needs to push them guys a lot harder than what he is currently pushing.
