It's an anomaly for the defending champions to be down 2-0 against this decades biggest playoff chokers.
The Lakers squandered a 16 point lead in game one. Which is inexcusable, for a team of that caliber. Kobe Bryant scored at will, but who else stepped up? The fourth quarter was filled with bad play and coaching.
The last time the Lakers playbook consisted of only Kobe Bryant isolations was when he had players named Smush Parker, and Luke Walton was a starter.
For a team that has won two championships in a row, they're playing like garbage, literally, trash.
They're stagnant and slow as molasses on defense. No one can stay in front of their opponent. They can't even stop the bald headed aging Jason Kidd from shooting treys.
Lamar Odom needs a vacation away from the media hogging Kardashians.
Ron Artest should delete his twitter account.
Phil Jackson needs to prepare this team for games.
And Pau Gasol should stop playing like a cuddly teddy bear.
Maybe just maybe, if these things happen we could win a game.
It's desperation time, but remember the last time the Mavericks had a 2-0 lead? The NBA Finals, and we all know how that went down.
Winning this series looks bleak and somber, but when the Lakers are in survival mode, things can turn ugly for the Mavericks.
Lakers are in an unfamiliar situation, but they can claw themselves out, to seek the glimpse of light.
Let's pray that the chokers, will choke again, because it's our last stand.
