UNBELIEVABLE. I can take losing to Ray Allen. I loved “He Got Game.” I’d quote lines from that movie. I can take that. I can take losing to Kendrick Perkins. He’s mean and surly. I respect that. But BIG BABY?! You’re kidding me.
Unfortunately, Lakers DID let Glen Davis beat them. 17 points. How do you let a roleplayer (an overweight roleplayer at that) burn you for 17 points? BY NOT BOXING OUT.
I wasn’t worried about Pau Gasol’s defense against KG. KG is skinny as a rail. But Big Baby is pretty hefty. That’s why you’ve got to keep low, get your body on him. The Lakers do that. As a result, we’ve got a tied series. I am pissed.
