The Lakers lacked both aspects. Both big men Gasol and Odom played like softies. Radmonvich was leaving Allen wide open for three's which is a big no no, you do not have to be in the league to know that. Kobe was forced to rely on his other players due to being held down by tight defense. Plus Rondo caught him sleeping on a play as well. This all lead to a complete smack down and complete domination byt he Boston Celtics. The atmosphere was rocking I was watching the game from TV and I felt the fans and heard the fans emotions roaring through my TV. "Beat LA Beat LA" "NA NA Na Hey HEY HEY HEY GOOD-BYE" real passionate fans. Well deserving of a championship.
Now as for the Lakers, where do you go from here? Well this loss believe it or not was a start for a very young Lakers team to see how it feels to be on the biggest stage of basketball. Bynum coming back will be a positive for the team and the bench has got to hustle more as well as the starting line up and I hope they learned that lesson from Boston. And it would not hurt to add some vetran experience to that bench to be a role model for the young nucleus of players.
Boston came in to this game like it was a bar fight they flat out-played the Lakers. From the starting line-up to the bench it was complete domination. And from a coaching stand point the great Phil Jackson "Zen-Master" he was out coached by Doc Rivers. Doc sure has come a long way to get to this point in his career. So much resiliency shown by the Celtics, so many starters got hurt and each of them came back on the floor and that is what championship basketball is all about.
