I’m gonna be real with you, I didn’t really watch much of this game. I was up until six in the morning making waffles (I swear that sounds more weird than it actually was) and woke up during the middle of the second quarter. I watched until around the middle of third quarter when I became completely convinced that the Lakers were not making a comeback. Sadly I was right.
I’ve watched nearly every Laker game over the last three seasons so I know this current squad pretty well and if there is one thing that just blows their minds more than anything else it is undersized centers. I don’t know if it’s a failing on Phil jackson and the coaching staff, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol, or just the team as a whole, but they just cannot take advantage of size advantages down low. The fact that the Rockets sans Yao Ming was able to be beat the Lakers may have come as a surprise to some, but I expected the Rockets to play better without him. However, I didn’t expect the Lakers to just roll over and die.
No, actually I kind of half expected it. Sigh. These Lakers…….
Fortunately though, the odds of the Lakers rolling over two games in a row is actually pretty rare and the odds of Shane Battier and Aaron Brooks being hotter than July for two games straight is even rarer so I don’t expect a repeat performance for game 4.
The Dominique Wilkins Highlight of the Game: About halfway through the third quarter I turned the TV off and went to Coffee Bean for a latte. That was the highlight of the game for me.
