The Off-Season

Well, looking back at an amazing 08-09 season, I'm left in a state of euphoria and with one thing on my mind...

We need to keep this team together! 

That means paying lamar, trevor, and shannon whatever it takes to ensure we have the same, fully-loaded roster next season. The Lakeshow was very fortunate in being able to withstand early season injuries to Vujacic, Farmar, and Bynum and although none of these players were able to reach the level they had been playing at prior to their injuries, they all made some contribution, especially Bynum, in the playoffs. 

If healthy next year, I fully expect these guys to return to form and play at a level were accustomed to seeing. As laker fans we pray that  Sasha will hit his open looks, Farmar will be creative on offense, and Bynum will get back his legs and explosion.

Looking into the off-season, even though every team seems to be improving, I feel that the lakers are best suited to improve internally rather than by adding a piece or two (which wont happen since were way over the cap to begin with).  As long as our young players continue to improve well have a great shot at repeating.

The off-season just started and I'm already pumped up for next year. I hope whoever is  reading this will follow me and J.A. Corral as we hopefully offer some input and a little humor throughout the off-season, pre-season, season, playoffs, and hopefully finals as the lakers seek to win their 16th title. Come join the ride!

 

THE FINALS

No Foul

Game 4 was too intense man, I almost couldn't watch it.

Final two seconds...

The Lakers were getting bad calls all game. The Spurs got 26 free throws compared to the Lakers' 19. Brent Barry was not in the act of shooting when Fish fouled him. An "on the floor" foul would have drawn two free throws, not three. The refs would never call a foul that late in the game. The Lakers' aggressiveness, tough-D, and luck helped them pull out a victory. They played hard all game and deserved to win. I'm looking foward to my man Koudsi's analysis of this series, so hopefully the Lake Show can close it out in Game 5.




Peace.

WHAT A GAME!

The Lakers came to play tonight. They were aggressive, attacked the glass, attacked the rim, and attacked the Spurs. WE wanted this game more it seems and we took it. Unfortunately we missed some free throws (Pau). Kobe made a play where he rushed down the court looking to score a quick bucket and missed. I think that fisher did foul Barry, but that isn't going to be called at the end of the game. On top of that, the Lakers were sometimes unfairly refereed themselves, so i think things tend to even. Ill be back with more on the breakdown of the series, hopefully after game 5.
