TO JUST LOSE ALREADY, so OKC can just beat San Antonio. Cause I'm not trying to watch them boring ol' spurs at the Finals.  I think Duncan has got enough rings man.  |
That's cool b/c your Celtics are still struggling against an 8th seed! Typical one-hit-wonder Celtics!
The Lakers had OKC's number for several season's and how funny was that for Marv and Reggie to bring up the Supersonic's curse against LA and then OKC starts their 13-0 run.
If LA loses to OKC, the WCF would be one interesting matchup! Ultimately, I would have to root for SA in this case since they have SDSU's Kawhi Leonard!!

The Lakers are just too inconsistent. Add a new coach and midseason trade and it's no wonder they're doing as bad as they are.
Sessions needs some time, the big men need to step it up, Bynum needs to stop acting like a baby, and Kobe needs to take less shots. When Kobe was injured in the last part of the season, other players like Artest and Sessions stepped it up. And they looked like a TEAM.
Ugh. On to next year.

The 3 peat seasons were when the Lakers would dominate and be more consistent and even after the second return of Phil Jackson, it has been up and down; blown leads, PJ not taking timeouts and letting the lead build up, Kobe on the bench for majority of the quarter etc.
I'm actually impressed with the Lakers transition given the split season, a new coaching staff and a new PG trade. Even with Sessions, the PG role still needs help and Blake isn't the answer and the bench needs to become stronger.
