Dwight will get the free throws down in clutch time, I am not concerned about that.
What I am concerned about is this team's mental state.
As in...
WHY THE **** COULDN'T THEY GIVE THIS KIND OF EFFORT IN THE PHILLY GAME?!?
THAT'S the problem, guys. EFFORT. If they gave this kind of effort in the Philly game, the Orlando game, the Dallas game, the Utah game, the Denver game, etc.
That was the most tense arena I've ever been in. I swear there was almost a brawl 6 feet to the left of me in the final 3 minutes.
Pau is unwatchable. Is he a bad player? No. But he's just a taller diaw. His body language is just pathetic in person. His confidence and athleticism are both shot.
I missed most of the game, but on the replay on now I just saw CP hit a smooth 20-footer on KB to end the half. Live I saw him do something similar for the dagger. I'm sure those felt good with Kobe defending him.
@clublakers: Pau Gasol is shooting 31% when he posts up (16/52 FGs). He produces .73 points per post opportunity which is 72nd in the NBA ( @BallReasons)
