Why is it that Laker fans always have the confidence to win? Is it because of all those Kobe last-second buzzer beaters? Is it Phil Jackson’s strategic plays at the tail end of a game? Or is it the fact that since we are in fact a “Championship Franchise”, that’s all the fans think of when it comes to the playoffs? Whatever the reason may be, it seems that Laker fans still see another championship in store, despite Thursday’s loss against the Thunder.
When interviewing a handful of LA fans at the Nokia Center this afternoon, it was apparent that there is no doubt on whether the Lakers are going to sweep the series. In fact, some fans feel the loss was done on purpose so that if need be, the Lakers will have another home court advantage in a crucial time like the playoffs. Still, a loss is a loss, and if that was in fact on purpose, the Lakers must pull through and beat Oklahoma City tonight so they don’t fall short when they come home for Game 5 on Tuesday at STAPLES.
Lakers fans should re-evaluate their expectations b/c they may not be consistent with reality. Also, why are Laker fans and media now making excuses for Kobe being "more injured than he let on." They are being outplayed right now, Kobe is no more injured now than he was when he was making game winners.
