When the Lakers lose, they get destroyed

[DMX7]

It seems to me over the past decade, that the games the Lakers lose to end the playoffs are almost always games that are not even close. Last time they lost was to Boston and they were killed in that game too. Spurs destroyed them in their final game to end the threepeat. They were blowout in Game 5 against the Pistons in the 04' Finals to lose the series too. Just an observation.

Seems to be a trend. Don't forget Phoenix game 7

Hearts of a champion, indeed.

Exactly. When the writing is on the wall that they're going to lose, they bend over and take it the ass. They also do cheap shit and starting picking up technical fouls.
