The Lakers are a Tired Warrior

You’ll quickly see that I’m an avid NBA fan. The plan tonight was to watch both the Laker and the Clipper games, simultaneously, providing feedback on both. Lets do this!

The Lakers are a Tired Warrior


The first half of the game was just pathetic. For one, I was spending my valentines on a couch with my buddy. Secondly, the Bobcats started the game hoping the Lakers would quickly put them away so they wouldn’t have to run that hard, shooting wild contested shots without a semblance of a strategy. However, Laker offensive struggles showed their ugly head once again, and the Lakers really couldn’t take advantage. Don’t get me wrong, all the plays were there, all the talent is there, but the Lakers look tired and as uninterested as their less then stellar opponent. This shot to end the half by Kobe culminates an unimpressive, uninspired performance. You don’t just make big shots to end halves because you have the talent, you make them because you willed a way for your team to succeed. Kobe used to have a magnet for the rim, especially when it mattered most or his team was fluttering. This looks like a warrior waiting for the final battle, but really needs to be careful or he may never get to that last fight. Pass the chocolate hearts, and switch to the Clipper game please, I really need to watch something entertaining.
