The 2009 champions The LA Lakers

They did it, I'm so proud of the team, i just knew this was they year. nobody really had faith in my team but i did, I'm really convince that the lakers could have won last year in the finals if the lakers would have had the same starting line up. I hate it when people say that Kobe Bryant only got the three rings because of "Shaq" which is partially true.i honestly seen this victory coming when the Orlando magics beat the clevlead cavilers, in my opinion that was the only team that could have stood again the team, but the cavs didn't have an aginst the lakers second unit, which is very good. i believe that they would have consistently outscore and outplay the opposing bench. I personally knew that Kobe Bryant didn't need shaq to win his forth ring. i know what he did need, leader ship, and determination. Do to those, he got what he was striving for. his forth ring and MVP for the finals. At the start of the game the lakers were trailing up in till the second half, the next the we knew the lakers kept scoring and eventually had the lead. Soon after the third, then i soon knew that is was over the magics had no chance of coming back from 15 points. finally Kobe got what he rightfully deserve is forth ring, hopefully the lakers can take it all the way again next season and win the lakers their 16 championship

trevor ariza

every body pay attention the main three people Kobe , pau, and Derek fisher. what about Trevor Ariza? they are a major part of the team. through out the in tire lakers season, the lakers second unit had a major contribution. They consistently outscore and outplay the opposing bench. many people might think that Lamar Odom took control and out the second unit, yet, I'd have to admit, Odom may be the denominator of the second unit, but Trevor Ariza is the group’s star. When I see Ariza, I see a younger Kobe Bryant in many ways. That is something special in my opinion. Ariza has found his place in Los Angeles’ system. Without him the lakers wouldn't be dominating like they are doing now. Trevor Ariza as been averaging nine points per game, 4.8 rebounds, two assists, and 1.7 steals. That is amazing over a 24 min stretch. Trevor is a very young player, and like has a lot to learn and developing to done. perhaps he can soon one day can the be the next Kobe Bryant and take control of the lakers

where would the lakers be with out there twin towers?

By now we all should know that i love the lakers, and that they are my favorite team. Could the lakers have made it all of this way with out there big men? i honestly don't think so. the truth of the matter is Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum has made the lakers as an whole a lot better. Others might believe me , while there are those people of would' t, its a fact thought. About 4 years ago Kobe Bryant wouldnt have made it this far, even thought he could get the ball and go for like a 50 point game, he didn't get as far by him self. in my opinion Gosal was the missing piece to the lakers puzzle. the season Pau Gosal came to the lakers , they went all the way to the finals. is it me or did pau gosol completed the packaged. i honestly think that the lakers could have beaten the celtics last year in the finals, but they didn't have the other tower, Andrew Bynum he couldn't play do to an injury.In my opinion that is why the laker lost last year, hopefully the lakers can win this year.

could the lakers take it all the way?

Its amazing how the lakers was able to beat the magics by 25 points the first game of the finals. the second game was much more of a struggle if i may say so. the magics seem to be able to pick up what the lakers are doing defensively. that's is the reason i think they are doing much better now compared to the first game. but do you honestly think the Lakers can win? i sure do, well i hope they can. they won the last three games, and they lost one game to them. the lakers are having difficulty with the magics shooter, Lewis, Turkoglu, and Pietrus. i think that they are doing a good job guarding Dwight Howard. He is not getting that many open looks like he was against Cleveland. the lakers have much more younger players that can keep up with Dwight and is able to contest him at the same time too. these are not the only reasons that i think the lakers are going to win. Kobe bryant. who can stop that man? they are doing the best they could defensively to try to slow him down, win Kobe get doubled team he kicks hit out to Derek Fisher, or Ariza who is doing very good on defense, and he is good at getting into passing lanes.cant wait till the next game to see if the kobe Bryant and the lakers will take it all the way, and to see if kobe get his forth ring. hopefully he will and the lakers will win it all.

who will win game four?

tonight is the night, who will win? kobe Bryant had to be upset the last game he played the magics. how can you be up by some much, then by the second half be losing? kobe had a off night that night. is it possible that the magics can turn everything around and win the series? i honestly don't think so. Orlando has a incredible team which i can say, look how far they got. i just don't think that they are to win a championship yet , its not there year.the next game comes on Thursday, taking place in Orlando. is it that the magics had the home court advantage is the reason they had the victory? hopefully the lakers will be able to come through and will play like they did the first two games where they didn't lose. the third game man, i just don't know what happened to them, they collapsed as a team.Kobe wasn't hitting any free throws, i mean it was horrible seeing my favorite team plying like that.i just don't see them in lose again in the finals like they did last year, how could you come come so far and lose at the very end, you don't have to be playing to see how they feel.maybe the lakers will play much better in game 4 on Thursday, in till then we will see.

is there comparison between jordan and lebron?

If you were to ask people, about 15 years ago what the number 23 meant, I bet they would say Micheal Jordan. If you were to ask people to day, they would say of course "King James". Honestly can you compare the two? I mean how could people believe that one is better than the other, if each of them never had the chance to face each other. Other people might even believe that Lebron is the best since Micheal Jordan. i really don't see the comparison between these two, if you were to ask me. they are completely different in many ways. i think people compare them because they have the same jersey number, and they both can jump really high. could he be the next Jordan? i know people went crazy when leborn James hit that buzzer beater in game 2 of the semi finals when they were facing the magics. i was amazed, i can't even lie i jump up for excitement when lebron hit that jump shot. its was unpredictable something that i would never seen coming, i was expecting lebron James to go for the lob, in stead of the three pointer. ON the other note, Micheal Jordan was know for making the game winning shot at the last minute cause his team to win. i wonder if there is anything that could make me change my mind about these two, i just don't see how you can compare men that played during to different time periods, and things have changed since mike was playing.

Race to victory

both the Lakers and the Magics are both every extraordinary teams that fought hard, long series to get where they are at. the teams had faced each other in the regular season, and the lakers didn't seem to do to well losing both games to them. In the first game of the finals,the lakers seem to be able to have out played the magics, keeping Dwight Howard under control with there outstanding defense. unfortunately for the magics they got blown out that game, and had to come back strong the next game. In game two, in my opinion the magics came back a lot stronger hitting more threes making wide open layups and trying to contest kobe, which obviously didn't seem to work.kobe Bryant is very hard to defend, is hard to stop him with his mid range jump shot and his ability to take it to the rack. with the score going back and forth the lakers seem to have out scored the magics in over time. i believe that this is going to be look at as one of the greatest series in time to come. in game three the shoe was on the other foot, even thought the magics were trialing through out the first half they came through and beat the lakers.my predictions for the next game is that the lakers will definitely win, along with the series becoming the 2009 champions. hopefully my predictions come true, lets see what will happen as the race to victory continues on.

what was suppose to be the matchup of the century

As the lakers took a easy win over Denver in game six the other night. Mean while the night after that , lebron and the cavs got destroyed in Orlando. which i seen coming if you ask me. Just thinking about the lakers and the cavs facing up against each other in the finals just give me the chills, seeing both star player, Kobe Bryant and

lebron James going back in forth scoring. It seems like allot o people be wanting to see a Kobe and Lebron match up in the finals. I'm sure, as well as that it will be one of the best series for this decade. i honestly don't think it could be any better the ,"black mamba" vs "king James" in the finals. unfortunately the cavs just didnt have what it took to bet the Orlando magics. im very certain that there are those people that is dissapointed about the whole situation, maybe there are not made to face each other in the finals. I guess that we will have to wait intill next season to see what will happened with the teams

End of the road cavs

the cavs finally lost, to the magics? i don't think people seen that one coming. in my opinion i wanted to see the cavs lose to Orlando, and on the other hand i wanted to see the cavs go up against the lakers in the finals. i didn't see the cavs losing in the series overall, i thought that they would have just lost a couple of lost maybe 2 the most. hey we cant blame lebron James thought, he gave it all he had, unfortunately it just wasn't enough to penetrate the magics. i mean lebron is amazing, he is great but he couldn't do it all by him self. this is what i see the problem as, the cavs just need younger and bigger men, iigauskas is much to old. i think that he slows down the tempo of the game, he cant keep up with the offense.the only thing i think he is good at is catching and shooting. hopefully coach brown might see the same problem as me and take it in to consideration. Lets not for get how great their season was, they went 66-16 in there regular season.
that is the NBA best record ever, that was also the first time that much wins were produced in s regular season. hopefully things turn up better for the cavs next season, and who knows perhaps they could be next year champions.

cavs get caught up in orlando's magic

As the cavs face the magic yesterday in game three leaving them in disappointment in over time. In the first quarter as well as the first half, the to teams where going back in forth. lebron James who was the high scorer, in my opinion the team depends on him to much. the look for him to run plays and to set up other players up. Every time leBron is not in the game the team seems to struggle and don't make the plays. I personally don't think they is going to beat the magics, lebron cant do everything, i mean he is one man, if the cavs pull this off it will be a miracle. Orlando is just abusing the cavs from the outside. My main concern mainly is that in the next game the team will depend on lerbron, he is like the only won on the team going all out,be size delonte west. Honestly, i just don't think the cavs are ment to win this year, its obvious that they are not physically ready for the magics. Perhaps next year the will come in, and will do better, but in the earlier season they where doing excellent didnt really lose at home and had the best record in the NBA. we will see what will happen on Thursday may 28. If they lose there are getting sent home , which most likely will happen.

western confence semi fianls.5/25/09

yesterday was a blow out as the lakers lost to the nuggets with the score at 120 to 101. In my opinion the lakers are the best. i just don't see how they can blow a team out one game then the next game get blown out. I'm starting to see the same pattern like with the Houston, even though the rockets didn't have their star player, the lakers still seemed not to be able to function correctly. I'm going to predict that if the lakers continue to play in this pattern they will eventually beat the nuggets.

The lakers have a good team, i have to admit. But is doesn't seem to make since at all, its like they go out there forget all the practicing they did, and fail to communicate.i have to get Kobe Bryant props, he did a very good job of holding Carmelo, even thought there a weight difference kobe did a lot better then i though he would have. i hope the lakers can come throught and play the like they played the first game.

NBA semi fianls

What took place yesterday,in the western conference is a good one.in the first quarter of the game the laker was up by almost double digits.the second quarter was the nuggets had a streak and start if the first half. everybody though that the lakers was going to get blown out by Denver because the lakers just had finished a brutal game 7 against the rockets and really didn't have time to prepare. those people who thought that were wrong, unfortunately for the nuggets they lost not by much either. For the most part it was kind of obvious that the lakers wasn't prepared for what the nuggets had coming for them as they struggled thought the first half, as they played the lakers started to get the feeling of how they played as the started to catch back up. soon enough the lakers came from trailing from almost 12 points to having the lead. it all came down to the end.the lakers taking the game by two points, which is really lucky the way they started out playing. hope in two days the lakers come back with more energy and kind of get the feeling on how they play.
