Lakers are sleepwalking today in the ATL

How come everytime a team loses people assume its sleep walking. What if the other team simply hit more shots. This is the NBA after all.

well kobe sucking has an explanation. LA times says his foot was still bothering him and he had the flu. now it explains his jumpers being short. nothing to see here, hawks hit their shots and even lucky ones. cant compete with that. it was their night and for the lakers it wasnt

It just shows that the Lakers sans Kobe @ 100% are not that great.

Having watched pretty much all 48 minutes of this one, I can say the "sleepwalking" looked to be the one consistent theme of the game. The Hawks didn't score easily at all and still won by a decent margin. The home team hit some 3s (especially in the third quarter) and LA didn't. You do have to give the Hawks credit for getting the win (especially after just getting whacked at home by the Spurs minus TD), but LA's performance wasn't a good one.

That should be their goal imo. They shouldn't waste their energy to try and catch the Cavs. They'll get exhausted come playoffs. That's what happened to the Spurs in 2006.

BTW people expecting the Cavs to lay an egg in playoffs might be in for a rude awakening. They are a young and a hungry ball club. They might just win it all.

on both accord. cavs are stacked. their bench is hands down the best in the league
