4 To Go

Oh boy! Hold on to your hats ladies and gents, we're ready to rumble. Tonight is the night, the night where all of the "are the Lakers soft?", "where did the Magic come from?", "is Kobe better than LeBron?" of the media and the blogosphere comes to a halt. There can be no more talking, there can be no more speculation. Tonight we start the last leg of the race.

One thing is for sure, we're tired of hearing Kobe can't win without Shaq. Yeah yeah, Shaq won without Kobe, but he just replaced Kobe. And not he replaced Kobe, someone else replaced Kobe for him. So it's really not a matter of Kobe's no good without Shaq, it's a matter of, no one man can win the effing championship alone. Kinda like how Melo thinks no one man can guard him. But thats besides the point.

We don't have any witty insight to this series, it's pretty evenly matched in the point, counter-point areas. As cliched as this is, it's gonna come down to execution. Here's what we hope: We hope that the Lakeshow remembers what it felt like last June when they had to fly back to Los Angeles after game 6 and that that motivates them to EXECUTE.

We're not pointing any specific fingers at any specific team members, but as Nana likes to say, "If you think this is about you, there must be a reason you think that."

Lakers: Do Work.
