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?

IT'S OPENING NIGHT!
After months of talking and uncertainty during the off seasons, NBA IS BACK!
On opening night we have 3 games
ORL : IND
CHI : MIA
LAC : LAL
Frankly, I wasn't at all interested in the ORL vs IND game. All eyes on CHI vs MIA because of this man. All talks about him since he was out for 15 months and we want to watch how he will lead the bulls against our defending champion - Miami Heat. (I feel a sharp pain every time I say this.)
How did it go? CHI 95 MIA 107. The Heat's D was madness and the way they play as a team and moving the ball was beautiful. I know it's too early to say but these guys are in the zone.
Is there a better way to start the season than having a derby game? LAC vs LAL. We all know Kobe is still out, Steven Nash was more like Stiff Neck for now and the rest of the players are just the rest of the players. To make things worst, LAC has gotten Doc Rivers but guess what? Looks like Doc have to start the season with a L.
LAC 103 : LAL 116.
To be honest I didn't like how the starters were playing in the earlier part of the game. A lot of run and gun and we see players taking jump shot and Gasol taking 3s. And yes he did make it. But I don't believe that is the best for the team to have a 7ft shooting from outside instead of showing some paint presence. The ball movement was pretty good from the 2nd half onwards and players like Farmar, Hill, Henry and Meeks just started to light things up. The team ended the game with 5 bench players with double figures. I can't say I am all excited about this team and the coach as a Lakers fan but I must say they have given their very best on this opening night. It's too early to say anything more but I hope they keep it up. This is why I love sports, always expect the unexpected.
As for the ORL and IND game, I have to give it to Roy Hibbert and Paul George. These fellas are putting are big big numbers.
16 Rebound and 7 Blocks for Roy. and 6 rebound, 5 Ast and 24 Points for Paul.
