Game 3 : It’s “Showtime”By Mark Evasco on June 10th, 2008 | No Comments
No more joke time. No more fooling around. No more stupid, unnecessary fouls. No more whining. No more complaining. It’s time to walk the talk. It’s time for Kobe Bryant to show who is the best player in the world today and not be outperformed by a Celtic bench commoner. It’s time for Sasha Vujacic, Ronny Turiaf, Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, and Trevor Ariza to show the world who ... -
Game 2 : Whether You Like It Or Not, DEAL WITH IT.By Mark Evasco on June 8th, 2008 | 4 Comments
Whether you like Paul Pierce’s supposedly “fake injury” or not, deal with it. Paul Pierce played the best role in Game 1, as an injured basketball player, who suddenly comes back after his 105-second injury. Did he fake it? I think so. Was that the reason we lost, I don’t think so. To be honest, the Los Angeles Lakers we’ve seen all season long only played the first ... -
Lakers Celtics Key MatchupsBy Mark Evasco on June 4th, 2008 | 5 Comments
The Los Angeles Lakers are starting their matchups with these : Derek Fisher on Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant on Ray Allen, Vladimir Radmanovic on Paul Pierce, Lamar Odom on Kendrick Perkins, and Pau Gasol on Kevin Garnett. But wait, these are just temporary matchups, and this won’t stay too long, maybe after Game 1 is over. I’m saying this because I know who’s guarding who before Gam... -
Constructing The Perfect NBA TeamBy Mark Evasco on May 30th, 2008 | 8 Comments
Tim Duncan had 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. Tony Parker had 23 points on 11-of-22 shooting. Michael Finley’s corpse resurrected and scored 13 points. Kurt Thomas, Brent Barry, and Bruce Bowen combined for 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting. The San Antonio Spurs led by as much as 17 points at one point in the second quarter. Yet, the Los Angeles Lakers won 100-92, beating the defendin... -
Game 5: A Step CloserBy Mark Evasco on May 29th, 2008 | No Comments
Game 5 of the Lakers-Spurs Western Conference Finals is tonight at 9:00 PM ET and we’ve got our keys for both teams. Every NBA fan right now is talking about the very controversial call in Game 4 , otherwise known as the Brent Barry no call. I’ve explained in my new blog about how the game would’ve went had it not been for the horrible officiating. But I’m not here to tal... -
A Big Step For The Young GuysBy Mark Evasco on May 28th, 2008 | 5 Comments
As the final buzzer sounded and the last shot missed, I felt great relief on my part. The final score, 93-91 Lakers. That didn’t tell the whole story of the game. The late scoring flurry plus the missed shots and free throws of the Los Angeles Lakers helped the defending Champions climb back from a 7-point deficit and cut the lead to 2 with 28 seconds remaining. The Lakers were leading the w... -
Lakers – Spurs Game 4 : Adjustments, Adjustments, Adjustments.By Mark Evasco on May 27th, 2008 | 2 Comments
Whoa. This is my first time writing in such a great blog as this. Thanks, Daniel. Anyways. Who cares? Let’s go to the keys for tonight’s game. By the way, nice game by the Pistons. For the Lakers : Game 3 is history. And as Fisher said it, “hold on to some of that frustration, some of that resentment that you have for the opponent… but you let go of the fact that you lost ...
