Warriors @ Lakers
The Warriors were on a bit of a hot streak coming into the game last night having between a playoff team in the Phoenix Suns and the team with the best record in the NBA in the Boston Celtics. It was a 2 game winning streak and for the Warriors, that is a big deal. Now they had to go to L.A. to play the best team in the Western Conference who were tied with Boston for the best record in the NBA. Would the momentum continue? I didn't think it was very likely but you know I was still rooting for them.
The Warriors started off the game really well. You would expect that a 9-21 team going up against a 24-6 team doesn't really stand much of a chance. They held their own in the first half and lead by as much as 15 points. Things were looking pretty good but I knew the Warriors would run out of gas eventually and the superior size of the Lakers would take over. Come the second half, the Warriors lead quickly disappeared but they never really fell that far behind. For most of the second half, the Warriors were within 5 points or less. It wasn't until late in the 4th quarter that things started to really fall apart and the Lakers pulled ahead. Considering that the Warriors were playing against a better basketball team, (and I will be the first to admit that the Lakers are better) they put up a good fight.
Now we get to hear from all the Kobe Lovers out there that love to rub it in when Kobe has to score 44 points to be a lowly Warriors team. Frankly, the Lakers should have lead the entire game by 20 points or more. The fact that the Warriors were able to stick with them for 44 of the 48 minutes of the game shows that the Lakers have work to do.
So go ahead and sing the praises of Kobe all you want. You've all been brainwashed by the media and the NBA's need to build up Kobe as a superstar in one of the NBA's largest markets. The NBA needs someone to draw in fans like Michael Jordan did but Michael did it with class. Kobe needs the media to constantly kiss his butt and like lemmings everyone follows suit. It helps that L.A. doesn't have an NFL team so Kobe and suck up all the Hollywood fan dollars. Mark my words, the time is coming very soon when Kobe will be washed up. I can see it on the horizon. Give Kobe 3 more years and he will be a total has been. He'll be a role player like Grant Hill, Jason Kidd and Shaquille O'Neal. Enjoy the Kobe bandwagon while it lasts. I used to be a huge Lakers fan but Kobe made me hate the Lakers with his bad attitude and gigantic ego. I really hope he retires soon or gets traded so I can be a Lakers fan again. The problem is that they will still have Pau Gasol and the majority of Lakers fans are stupid. See the example below.
The best part about the game for me was when Ronny Turiaf sent Kobe packing when he tried to dunk on him on a fast break. EAT IT KOBE!
