Cold blooded murder by the Lakers. Led by the executioner Kobe Bryant. 35 pts, 10 assists, 6 boards. And the Lakers shooting percentage? 58% from the field. For all their inconsistencies in the past, the Lakers won when it mattered most. They are now in the finals for the 2nd straight time and 30th time overall.
For all of Denver's heads up play in the past that many described as championship caliber, they simply folded up and gave in to the pressure of the finals. Western finals pa lang bumigay na! Clearly the Finals' pressure separated the men from the boys. With the game on the line, in a do or die situation, the Nuggets went pffffft. They were like limp french fries there in the court. Better luck next time boys.
The best team in the West definitely won yesterday.
As for the Lakers chances to win the title, I'd say pretty good. If you compare the Magic ( The Cavs are done! ) to last year's Boston, the Celtics were a far superior team. The Lakers failed to match up with Garnett, Pierce and Allen. Versus the Magic, the match up is pretty even. So yeah, Go Lakers!
And for Denver, madami pa kayong kakaining champorado
