Why I think all those on the Lakers are going to lose tonight......... A very good 'basic strategy' play is to take the team down 0-2 in game 3.
However, almost all those teams had intangibles that favored them. The 2-0 team being overconfident, the 0-2 having their backs against the wall, looking to step up big time.
At the end of the year, I spotted that the Laker Chemistry did not look good at all. They struggled down the stretch, and got outplayed at home game 1 by only an average New Orleans team missing a key player. Artest is out, and Bynum is criticizing the team.
Meanwhile, Dallas played the toughest schedule in the league, lost Dirk for a good stretch, and still won 55 games. Here, after years and years of playoff frustration, they got to anhilate the team they have watched accumulate 5 rings while they got bagelled.......the knowledge that the much LAers have had this much success and coverage burns in their hearts, and NO WAY Dallas lets up 1 bit here, this is still a big game for them, if they lose it, game 4 is going to be for the series.
LA has never faced this big a hole when winning its' championships. Sure, the refs may try their best, I don't think it will be enough.
Gonna be one wild crowd in Big D tonight!
