The Roller Coaster Ride That Is the 2009 Lakers

Brought to you by the guys at www.Lakers101.com.

So, what a difference a day makes, huh?

Down 29 Sunday in Houston; two nights later in LA, win by 40.

Everything seemed to go right last night, from the get-go.

We got up by 20-plus points a number of games versus Utah. The difference, when I had the thought: “Okay good, now we need to keep it going,” and the guys actually listened.

We exploded to a 25 point halftime lead, won the third quarter by 15 points, and saw our “scrubs” keep it going in the fourth, to give us a 40 point victory.

Now, understand that I am a Lakers fan currently living in Orlando. I am still trying to adjust to being a sports fan on the east coast.

(My uncle from Cali sent me an email the other day saying he was in the Carolinas last week for games one and two. He said halftime at midnight and there were no box scores the next day…what’s up with that? I told him, welcome to my world. One night, I’m up until two am rooting on my team. Five hours later, I am waking up for work. On non-game nights, I still stay up late writing articles. And you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way!)
