The game tonight was awful.
At least LA managed to pull it off, but that was really a tough game to sit through. I thought the score would be close, but I was surprised at how bad the Lakers played especially coming off of Game 6.
I'm happy for Ron. Every time the Lakers lose, people flood sports talk radio in LA and start blaming everyone individually with all these outlandish claims. They say Fisher is too old and slow (which is true) or that Lamar spaces out all the time (also actually true - but trust me, sometimes they make really outrageous arguments). And for the past year they've blamed Artest, and lamented Ariza's departure, any time Ron does any little thing wrong (like when he damn near blew Game 5 vs Phoenix a couple weeks ago by rushing those jumpers early in the shot clock in the last minute of the game).
Point is, he carried the Lakers tonight and you could see how much he wanted it since he was the one Laker who'd never won a championship. He can't dribble to save his life and I still cringe every time I see him shoot, but I'm glad that he won.
