At the risk of fueling the fire of all the Laker haters in here, I've got news for you: The Los Angeles Lakers will win Sunday and proceed to retain the Championship for a third year!!!
The Kings have enjoyed a great season and have remained strong throughout the playoffs. The addition of Bibby has proven to be the aquisition which NEARLY won them the Championship. I hate to say it but Vlade is playing well and Chris is hitting his same old shot near the key. However, I'm afraid that the Kings will come up short....again.
The Lakers have not played well during the playoffs. We are simply back to a Two man team. Last year our supporting players stepped up and the bench was a real asset. Derek Fisher is not providing any offense and struggles to contain Bibby. The perimeter shooting is bad and the horrible 3 point % almost cost us this series. It took the Lakers the first Four games of this series to figure this out.
However, these last two games have caused me to believe in the ability of this team. They are simply driven to win. Shaq has regained his health and has dominated both games. The defense has improved. Kobe continues to shoot the ball well and score almost at will. Phil Jackson ( love him or hate him) has instilled a professional confidence in this team.
The Los Angels Lakers are the defending World Champions, and it will take more than the Kings and Nets to take that away from us. We have the poise, confidence and experience to defeat the Kings on Sunday and eliminate the NJ Nets in the finals. I am convinced that Shaq and Kobe will carry this entire team!! Better yet, they are commited to accomplishing this mission.
I've read all the complaints about the officiating, and I agree 100%! These refs have been the most inconsistent bunch I have ever seen. This is the only factor that may be cause for concern in Sundays game. You know that Sacramento will get the calls in their house. The Lakers also realize this and must avoid the silly fouls which cost them game 5.
Allright, so for all you haters out there, it's time for this Home Town fan to put up or shut up:
Lakers + 1.5 for 10 units
Lakers $line +$105 for another 10 units
Good luck to everyone for the game!!!
