Tadow.

LA 119. Denver 92. Not remotely close. Or interesting. The Lakers move on to the NBA Finals.

The Lakers team that is the presumptive favorite for the NBA title this year finally showed up, and it was something to behold. I think the frustration with them is that they don’t play like that more consistently.

As for Denver, anyone viewing the intro on ESPN to the start of the game, where the cameras in the locker-room caught George Karl’s final pre-game speech, knew that Denver was hosed. It was so uninspiring, the camera angle, which showed Karl from the side and included Chauncey Billups as he sat and listened, caught Billups at one point in a full blown yawn. Way to capture the moment, George Karl.
