February 6, 200917 yr It will be a major statement, if the Lakers cap of this road trip with back-to-back wins against Boston and Cleveland to finish 6-0. The game Sunday is the one I'm looking forward to because I really think Cleveland is poised to dethrone Boston in the east and return to the finals. I'm interested to see how this matchup plays out on Lebron's home turf.
February 6, 200917 yr Great game, I was very impressed with Pierce's last stance on Kobe, and rather surprised on how cold he went in OT. Allen seems to be getting better and better. I won't say whether that was a foul at the end or not, but KG fouling out was huge. HUGE. Glen Davis cannot guard a soul in the paint and Gasol and Odom just had their way with two undersized post players. The Celtics need to find some length before the Deadline and Kobe needs to not disappear at the end of the games like that. I'm not so sure that if that were the Spurs or Cavs that the Lake Show would have walked out with a W, much less the Celtics with KG down the stretch. I can't wait for Sunday, should be a dandy of a game

February 6, 200917 yr Without Bynum, L.A. does not match up well with the Cavs. It should not be a big shock if Cleveland cruises on Sunday. I'm not expecting a win for LA on Sunday in Cleveland. Just saying, to me, back-to-back road wins against the second and third best teams in the league would be impressive...and I think winning in Cleveland on Sunday would be more impressive than last night's win in Boston. I think Sunday's matchup will be a preview of the NBA Finals...

February 6, 200917 yr No doubt, especially considering LA is doing this without Bynum. true, but who does LA turn to in a situation like the one they got into last night when Kobe disappeared? That can't happen down the stretch IMO
February 6, 200917 yr true, but who does LA turn to in a situation like the one they got into last night when Kobe disappeared? That can't happen down the stretch IMO Kobe disappearing down the stretch is the exception, not the rule. His ability to close games is the only reason Lebron James isn't the unanimous choice for best player in the league...
February 6, 200917 yr Not to mention there wouldn't have been overtime without two huge threes by Kobe in the final minutes of the game.
