Are They Too Hollywood?

Are the lakers a Hollywood movie? Yes they are a drama filled with suspense. The lakers fill each episode with action packed moments along with several mind boggling blunders. Their movie showcases a star studded line-up Kobe, Pau, Artest and director Phil Jackson. Why do we watch? The lakers reel you in with their history and ability to perform in primetime; yet they will give the viewers a dud from time to time which, reels you in even closer to see how the next episode ends.

Hmmmm. Yes the Lakers 2-3 in their last five games after they won seven straight. That doesnt matter to the viewers because they know the lakers could give everyone a masterpiece in the last seven games of the season. How could they? If the lakeshow wins the next seven by an average of 10 points per game to close out the season, all will be forgiven until the lakers sleep walk through a playoff game just like the Houston series last season. We all will watch because we dont know the outcome especially with the lakers. A talented roster filled with veterans but the team has an anttention span of a 10 year old; yet the lakers continue to entertain us with their psychotic play. This is proof that greatness gives them a long rope with the viewers, 15 titles in 30 final appearances will do it thats enough said!


So, the drama continues tonight with episode 76 at Staples Center Jazz @ Lakers, tipoff is 730. We will all be eagerly watching after a repulsive performance on their five game road trip. It's fitting that the Lakers are from Los Angeles because the suspense and mind numbing theatrics are straight from a hollywood film. The viewers love the lakers for their success but they hate the adventures the Lakers go through while achieving championships. As up and down as the Lakers are, they are still the favorite to win the ship.
