I get a "we lose the finals its okay, we won in 2008" vibe from our play

disinterested

no urgency

no effort

Sorry I do not get that at all.

We played stupidly and poorly. We had some bad bounces and mental lapses but I fully believe these guys want this.

The lakers have some definite advantages over us right now and we have to adjust

no...it's impossible to be "up" all the time...to always have that edge..let's face it...we were flat...next game we will come back sharp and aggressive...remember...this is like a heavy weight boxing match...last one standing...they got the better of us for one game...big deal...would we feel better if we lost a close game...a blowout...it's one game...what is now important is how we respond...one game at a time...game 1 is in the past...

Looked like we were just happy to be there...as if we've never won anything before.

After reading that second post I guess we are saying the same thing. The title of this post sounds very different to me then this latest post. I agree totally with your last statement

I still get the feeling that our guys want to win.

This game 1 loss doesn't sway me otherwise.

We just had a bad night, the desire was there and we made a mini comeback in the 4th, I'm not question the team's will.
