Like Baseball said "he's a good closer" (Kobe) and so is Phil...so they closed!!! you talk about depth....didn't you notice how much the studs played...for both teams...who says Perkins wouldn't have went down in game 7....obviously his knee was stressed....just like wallaces back and Kobe's finger...who cares....its you last game.....play, and play hard.....Lakers won and its no surprise Boston as a fourth seed rode out on Heart....they could have had Bird playing and they still may have lost cause its game 7 of the finals and Lakers were at home with Jack and the rest of the fans....dont like the Lakers...but I like the Theme
Haha, you obviously didn't see Doc's post game press conference. He said, "Who knows, if we have Perk, maybe it's different. I told my guys that you haven't had a true chance to defend your title yet because of Kevin last year and obviously Perk this year."
I saw it...That was his opportunity to note it... but he wasn't saying they would have won.... he said it would have been a true chance ...and doc knows that...what I mean is you wont here it today or tomorrow or ten years from now as an excuse....It takes away from How good the rest are, so a true gamer makes no excuses!
I can see if Rondo had missed the game...Boston themselves may have believed they should throw in the towel...but Perks...nope!! they still believed and they could win...Lakers tried to give it away...But kobe passed the ball when he was supposed to (not like most of the game when he forced) and Gasol dug deep and showed his will and Artest played the whole game smarter than all of them (read the bio on artest and you will see why he deserves a championship) and the lakers prevailed... not in overtime like I thought they would but CLOSE!!!!!!...........Games over and Life goes on
If you can’t excel with talent, triumph with effort.
