Lakers, bouncing back to domination?

My Brud DT's post reminded me that I haven't been writing for this blog for the longest time.  So what happened? Maybe the passion of writing basketball left the same time Kobe and the Lakers walked off the court torn and broken. As a sports fan, it's hard to see your own team suffer and not just a little scratch but a major blow in this case.

How can we allow the Lakers to suffer such humiliation? It's the gold and purple we are talking about, we are the kings and we dominate.

What does it mean to dominate?

To dominate means on any days, ANY, when your friend ask you "Lakers vs Utah" - Lakers. "Lakers vs Bulls" - Lakers. It's almost like a faith, I don't even care who Lakers is playing against, I don't even care if someone is not feeling well or the opponent is having a 17 games winning streak, it's the Lakers.

"Dominating means we believe we will win, we know we will win regardless of who we are playing against."   

Google 72-10 and you will see the meaning of dominating.

Still the best NBA record. Jordan's 2nd 3peat

92' Bulls: 67-15 - this is dominating.

86'-87' Lakers - dominating.

71'-72' Lakers - Longest winning streak before MJ and the guys took over.

3-peat, Kobe and Shaq.

What does it means to the sports? More haters? More bangwagoners? Boring games as it's all "expected"? Do we want to see a dominating team?

Do we have a team like this as of now? Are the heat a dominating team? Yes, they are a good team, they win games, big games but are they dominating? They won 2 rings back to back and now they are chasing their very 1st 3peat and the only thing in their way now is Pacers and Either OKC or the Spurs.

They have had it easy, Bobcats and Nets for their 1st 2 round of the playoffs but that doesn't means they are not a good team. Like it or not they are going down onto the hall of fame. I'm a hater and I'm proud to say that.

THIS... Still hating it.


This is sports and we don't have a sure win but to dominate the game is possible and that means a lot of work. It's the same thing in life, regardless of what we do, if we want to be good we have to put in the effort and make things happen.

How much time does Kobe and the Lakers have to bounce back? Is Love the solution? Will a new coach be able to turn the team around? How much can the Lakers do in the coming off season?
