Play wit it Points 4 Yo Thursday

• If I have learned anything from watching last nights game between L.A. and S.A. it is to never count out the Mamba. NEVER. I have to admit that I was looking like a "petrified puppy"(word to Stephen A. Smith" when I cut on the game in the middle of the third quarter.(I missed most of the game because I was at my homeboy's church having a good time:. 65-45 the score read. Kobe only attempted 9 shots all game. Odom was MIA and Pau was playing like his name was Paula. Mainly meaning SOFT. fISH WASN'T EVEN FLOWING THE THREES SO I knew this was not the original blueprint for the Lakers. The Spurs were hitting on all cylinders on the the other side of the fence, however. I loathe to admit this secret from the depths of the gas chamber called my heart but Tim Duncan is f*cking unstoppable. Nobody on the Lakers ROSTER seems fit to even walk on the same court as Duncan did last night. I personally believe that Paula Gasol was Tim's little b*tch for the night. TP was doing an a decent job and Manu was an un X-factor(thank God). But through all the fire through the wire the 4th quarter finally came. And with that came the wrath of the Mamba aka as "Triple Ocho"(I despise Reggie Miller's guts) and it was booty talk ugly for the Spurs. Kobe could not be denied in the second half at all. From his eloquent walk-it-out and two steps on Manu to his flawless jumper in the Gangsta Grill of Brucey, Kobe scored 25 of his 27 points in the second half. Like the Incredible Hulk, Kobe went into Mvp beast mode,especially in the final seconds of the game when it was tied 85-85. With time running out on the shot clock the ball was in...well yeah Kobe's hand. The Spurs attempt of a trap was futile as Kobe ran circles around it and drove Bruce Bruce to the rack. Just a little push off for room was all Kobe needed(Bruce exaggerated to the extreme with that fake flop) and it was nothing but BLOOMER LEGS as my dad would so emphatically put it. 87-85. In the end, however, the Spurs had a chance to take the lead with a Ginobli-huck-a three but it was not meant to be. Young Vucchi got the rebound with 7 seconds left. GAME, SET, MATCH. LA wins 89-85.
• I was very proud at the heart of the Lakers to pull this one out. I know one thing for certain though and that is that LA CANNOT allow such a bogus lead build up on them in the next game. I thought that Lamar and Fish should have been more involved in the game but it was a great night for Kobe and the role players to save their asses out of hot water.

Keys for Game 2

• Simple-Let Duncan get his(30 and 18 for game 1) grown man on and limit Parker and Manu.
• Is it just me or is Reggie Miller quickly becoming the George Bush of broadcasting in general? Just pondering.

Play wit it. DP out.
