Tough loss for the Lake Show last night. For about a quarter and a half, our boys played nearly flawless basketball. They were feeding the post, rebounding, forcing turnovers and moving the ball. Then, for some inexplicable reason, Phil took out Kobe with about 5 or 6 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter. Up around a dozen at the time, with a chance to extend the lead and crack the trachea of the Nug-jobs, Kobe could be found on the bench, and a small, ineffective line-up was caught on their heels. Phil sat in his chair unfazed by the surging Nuggets, and by keeping Kobe on the bench, allowed the Nugs to get back in the game and go into halftime a confident bunch. The rest is history. The second half began with the Nuggets carrying all the momentum. The Lakers were on the defensive for most of the second half, constantly struggling to catch up and tie the game. Unfortunately, the Lakers' efforts fell short and they're going back to Denver tied up 1-1.
While I haven't given up hope on the series, winning is gonna be a challenge. As every sportswriter in the country has repeated over and over, Denver is a very tough place to win. However, record-wise, we are the best road team in the NBA and you can never dismiss a team's chances in any arena, or on any solar system, when they've got the Black Mamba. In my opinion, we need to cut Sasha (Fierce) V's minutes. The dude couldn't hit the bright side of J-Lo's butt with a basketball. We also need to play our big guys when the Nugget's go small. They're don't have the speed or quickness to run on us, even when we've got Bynum and Gasol on the court at the same time. Lastly, let Kobe go all 48. I guarantee he won't mind.
I'm here in Denver (boooooo) after driving through Kansas for about 300 hours. Denver has more breweries in their downtown area than any other city I've ever seen. Driving through Kansas I found a solid R&B station that played the likes of Silk and Keith Sweat. Needless to say, I felt pretty sexy listening to it. I also found a strictly new wave college station. I heard some groovy electro-jamz of which I can't remember the names.
Live long and party,
Doom Bizzle
