At the beginning, especially 3rd quarter i thought what the hell cant the guys shoot anything in anymore? They didnt get anything in really. But then in the 4rth quarter, they got so good back up and didnt lose any more points. Yeah, that got used to the kings, but another important thing that i think was that they got used to playing on their own, without any of the f4, the young players were brilliant, they're of course not as good as any of the f4 but in the 4rth quarter they showed what they can do, they're eager to win, Walton, Rush ... all of them, thats what makes watching bball such a joy, you see people doing everything to win and they love the game. They didnt just wanne yeah dunk and show off how good they are and impress the fans. They playe for themselves. For the love of the game. So thats why after the 3 quarters i actually wanted to switch off the tv, but then in the 4rth, i didnt really want it to stop. Yeah, maybe i exagerate a bit, some of you might think they werent really good and stuff, but dont forget that they didnt have much practice in playing in important games specially gainst someone like the kings. They learned very quickly and it was great that they got the chance to play alone. They need the practice and I see a bright future of the lakers without f4!
Um, they did have The Glove which was a part of the f4, but I get what your saying, like these few day excluding the kings game, Medvadenko really sparked and so did brian cook too.
