finally!

I've hated the Lakers since the mid Sixties, but give them credit. They beat us fair and square last night, without their very talented center. With a healthy Bynum, we would have lost by over 10 points. Let's man up and admit that they are a better team than us at this moment. And while I hated the officiating last night, let's stop whining about it.  Swallow our pride and move on. Let's not stoop to their level.  The refs did not cost us the game.  The Lakers outplayed us overall. Kudos to them.

If it was half way through the season and the Lakers had not lost and the Celtics had not won yet I would still find it hard to just flat out admit they are better. I just cannot do that and I really believe if we meet in the finals again we would win because we are set up for physical play like the playoffs and the lakers are set up for the pretty finesse game that is the regular season. (And our record against the Lakers in the finals is not too bad)
