I think this team has turned it around and they are playing their best ball of the season. Kobe has this team dialed in, eyes on the prize. I'm fucking stoked for game 2.
I read before Game 6 in Denver, one of the Lakers insiders mentioned that he saw a change in the Lakers, that they were focused and determined. We later went on to win Game 6 and the series, and haven't looked back since (although it has only been 2 games). We're playing pretty flawless basketball right now, and hopefully it continues. When focused, there is nobody in the league that can beat us. Our only downfall is ourselves. Btw, here's the video to the intro of Game 1 [video=youtube;Go6VUEoQgmI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go6VUEoQgmI[/video] If that isn't focused, I don't know what is.
NO smiles, no nonsense from this team. I dont think they'll start the celebrations until this series is wrapped up. I like their attitudes coming in. NO MERCY!!! NO MERCY!!!
This team is completely focused this year and is a lot different than last years Finals team, as well as the team we saw at the beginning of the playoffs. They've put together 3 fantastic performances for the first time in a while, and they're doing it on both ends of the court, something they haven't consistently done in a long time. If they keep it up, there's no chance the Magic can touch us. If this team had shown up the last 2 rounds, we'd have blown right past the Rockets and Nuggets with ease.
