That's how we do that!
Posted: Saturday, May 30, 2009 by Travis Cody inMy Lakers finally put together back-to-back sustained efforts and closed out Denver last night on the road to win the Western Conference finals for the second straight year. I really like that they were able to get this done in Denver. It gives me confidence that they can win a key game on the road if they must.
And they dominated, stepping up the intensity to answer every challenge that Denver offered. The bench played well. The defense was cohesive. They controlled the boards. And they shot the ball well. It was an impressive close out road victory.
But I'm not ready to start talking any kind of smack here. That'll happen if and only if the boys can get 4 more wins and take the NBA championship.
I will say I'm very pleased at last night's result. They looked more like the champions I think they can be, rather than mere contenders.
Now it's just a matter of waiting to see whether Orlando closes out Cleveland tonight, or whether the Cavs can take one more step toward a grand recovery.
It's so exciting when your favorite team is doing great! Woo Hoo!
