I woke up this morning and remembered Game 3 of the NBA finals between the LA Lakers and the Detriot Pistons. What an embarrassment to fans of the Lakers and moreso to the entire team. With an all-star line-up like the Lakers, there shouldn't be such an outcome like an 88-68 Laker loss. It seemed like none of the players had their game on last night. The Pistons had everything together in their defense, offense, ball movement, and shots. Wherever the Lakers lacked, the Pistons excelled.

No player should be able to drive through three amazing players like Payton, Fisher, and Payton. I love the Lakers, and I still believe they can take this series and win the title of NBA Champions once again...but if they don't step up, they're going to get worked like it were high school players out there against the Pistons.

Oh man, I feel your pain. I'm doubting the Laker's ability to pull this series off. The Pistons have just been playing better than them every game of this series. The way they shut down Shaq and Kobe in the third game was just embarrassing.
Although I do give some respect to Kobe's hard playing in the fourth of that game. He showed a lot of fire. If the rest of the Lakers could step up like him, we'd have the series.
This next game should tell a lot.
