Game 1 Thoughts - The Laker Side

[wildbill2u]

If you shoot 3-17 (or whatever the final numbers were) in the 4th quarter, you are going to lose to a good team. simple as that.

Sure, fatigue takes the legs out from under you, but someone has to make a shot occasionally and we didn't.

Last night's game really increased my confidence that the Spurs will prevail in this series. Considering the last of rest between games and in major part of that spent on a plane I am not surprised they ran out of gas. Manu had nothing in his tank to even start the game. Juiced up and rested they will deliver a whopping on the Lakers. Spurs in 6.

As a Laker fan, my confidence that the Lakers would win the series if they won Game 1 was 80%. If they hadn't come back, it would have been more like 20%.

Given how poorly the Lakers played, how rusty they looked, and how easily they shut down the Spurs when the game was on the line, my confidence is more like 85% now.

I was thinking Lakers in 6 but now I think we get a split in San Antonio and wrap it up in 5.
