Lakers vs Jazz

It has been quite a few months since I last watched an NBA game.

My beloved L.A. Lakers has been crashing out of playoffs first rounds for the past two seasons.. But History is not going to repeat itself.

Lakers were leading as many as 19points midway through the third. A couple of turnovers and poor execution by them almost handed the game to the Jazz. Their lead was cut to 3 in the final 20 seconds. Phew. It was certainly a nice game and it got me on the edge of my seats, cheering for Kobe, Fisher, Vujacic, Gasol and Odom. Kobe couldn't have done it better as an MVP and a member of the NBA Defensive First Team player of the year.

34points 8 Rebounds 6 Assists... What more can you expect from him. Fisher had an amazing game too. A calming influence. Gave whatever he had to win the game. Made two crucial free throws towards the end....

It certainly brought out the Laker fan I was in 01-02 season where they beat Sacramento Kings in the Conference Final. Kobe's opposite, Chris Webber was an awesome player then.

07-08 Western Conference Final - L.A. Lakers vs the winner between New Orlean Hornets and San Antonio Spurs. I would certainly love Spurs to win. Both teams are immensely strong. Spurs power packed attack - Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan. Hornets' power packed attack - Chris Paul (Contender to be one of the best PG in the world right now), David West and Tyson Chandler.

Well, Lakers have our very own Bryant, Odom and Gasol. With Radmonovic hitting 3s for fun and the calming influence of Derek Fisher.... Okok. A real fan talks about his team... for sure..

That was what I have been spending my last 2 hours - Watching Game 6 Semifinals of the Western Conference between Lakers and the Jazz.

Well. Church was good last night... A season for me to grow right now!

Well.
