Lakers-Celtics Game 4

Ive slept on this...well by sleep I mean I tossed and turned over this.  This is sport at its finest, clearly! If you don't know by now, I am a die hard Lakers fan.  Last night, something crazy happened, but that is sport... thats why we play the game.  This is a classic rivalry, and last night adds some great pages to the book.  I give full dap (respect) to the Celtics.  KG, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce have been great players and deserve a championships as their careers are winding down.  However, there is still a game 5 to be played.  If the Lakers want to win the championship, they have to win 3 straight to come back from 3-1, which has NEVER been done beforein the Finals.  But, as KG's brand, ADIDAS says: Impossible is Nothing.  Do I expect it? No. But I am a fan, and a believer in our talent (that doesnt come to play in the finals?), so I will support us as we learn and play.  One thing I feel NO ONE is talking about: I feel that more important than the Celts being "Physical" and outplaying us, is the overall game experience of the Celtics team.  If you go 10 deep (which is what the finals have been) the Celtics avg age is 30, and the Lakers avg age is 26.4.  I feel that this is CLEARLY shown here in the finals.  The celtics players clearly have more of a grasp of what it means to be hungry.  We have our young guns who dont know how to stay aggressive for 48 minutes, maybe this will show them what that truly means.  I mean, this is all just my personal opinion, because I feel that the reason we lost the game is that we weren't hungry enough.  Pierce, KG, and allen all have the killer instinct in their eyes.  They have all lost enough to know how much it means to them to want to win, and I respect that, especially since as a Lakers fan, I am going through that exact feeling.  I want to win! have we lost yet, no, but you know what, losing in the Finals against detroit, and now with circumstances the way they are now, I know what its like to taste victory and I would rather eat the meal rather than taste the damn thing.  Its a growing process! I could go on and on about why we lost, about things that are wrong with our team, about how this was never supposed to be our year anyway since bynum is out, but then we got pau, about how Kobe is quadruple teamed an no one can hit a shot, about how Kobe played aweful yesterday, but Im not going to.  Last night, I whined about it, alot of wine, some beer, a couple shots, about 20 of em, let it digest, but guess what, its time to go to work again.  (that was all from Kobe post game).  Is Kobe Jordan? No, he is Kobe Bryant.  And if he is the Kobe Bryant I know, even if he is going to go out... he will go out swinging.

Strength and Honor,
