*First I want to apologize for posting this much today, I am still hyped about today's game*
One thing I have noticed from Lakers fans around the internet and even the ESPN commentators that weighed into tonight's game is that it was more of a statement game for the Cavaliers and it was an off night for the Lakers.
Of course that is the case, but to me that implies that if the Lakers played like they are known to, it would have been an entirely different game.
I mean the Cavaliers defense certainly got under their skin with the Ts and Kobe not doing so hot, but what do you think....
Our intensity tonight vs the Lakers at full speed?
To me, it just seemed like one team outplayed the other, the only message you can take out of it is that the Cavaliers are capable of competing with the best in the league. Whether or not the best in the league had an off night is irrelevant.
