Creepy picture!
Well the Lakers pushed the Jazz aside to advance to the Western Conference final in which they will face the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers won the last two games in Utah to complete the sweep. In the first game Utah clogged up the paint to try and limit the Laker big man and use a much faster tempo game to try and outrun the Lakers. However this caused a lot of Laker jump shooters to be open and lead to terrific perimeter shooting. This almost worked but Utah couldn't seem to deliver a killer blow and the Lakers scraped a one point win. The second game belonged to Kobe and Pau who made short work of the Jazz and combined for 65 points. It was the fifth consecutive time Kobe has scored more than thirty points. For me the man of the series has to be the scruffy Spaniard, Dr. Pau was clinical with 65% shooting, he continues to get better and better. This will continue against the Suns because once again Pau has an smaller inferior big man guarding him.
Other news around the league is the Celtics knocked Lebron and Cavaliers out of the playoffs. So for all those NBA fans wanting to see Kobe Vs Lebron playoff, it's just too damn bad. I've heard bandwagon fans saying that Laker fans were cheering for the Celtics to win so the Lakers wouldn't see Lebron in the final. I've never heard such a vile and base statement in my life. How dare they! I am both appalled and disgusted. Trust me, the Lakers don't care who we see in the finals, all it is is just another obstacle. Lebron, the Celtics it doesn't matter, they are just a means to an end. Lebron has to prove that he can actually make it to the finals before other fans can start calling Laker fans out about facing him. Maybe next year Cleveland, oh wait that's right, Lebron has his eyes set on other franchises to disappoint.
The Celtics have to face Orlando to complete their journey to the finals. I hope they do make it, not because I'm scared of Orlando (been there done that!) but because I want revenge. We haven't forgotten and it would just make our victory that much sweeter.
So before I go let me give you some advice Laker fans, if you see some Cavalier fans, wait excuse me they're not real, Lebron fans don't say a thing. That's right not a word, just look them in the eye shake your head and walk away. Don't be brought down to their level, leave that to me. Send them to a link here if they continue to argue, I'll be more than happy to deal with them.
Up next a positional breakdown followed by your local news.
