Well, it's my first post for the blog. I am a Junior and I like sports. I live about 30-45 minutes away from Oxford so it is difficult for me to watch an Oxford game and still have happy parents driving me home. So whenever I post, I'll likely be posting about the outside world of sports. You can count on me, I know my stuff.
As an avid Lakers fan and a soon-to-be AP Tester, I still couldn't resist flipping on the television to have my 1 on 1 time with a good o' basketball game.
Game 1 was pretty much a dominant Lakers game, leading throughout the 48 minutes of gameplay. With already beating the Enver Nuggets (No D my friends) and now up against the Jazz, the Lakers made me scared to see the match-ups of a Deron-Boozer powered team, but there wasn't much tonight. There were no technical fouls either, what a pity.
However, as I watched the game there were some issues that worry me:
- Lakers were way over rebounded (41 compare to 58)
- Allowed too many offensive rebounds. (25 offensive rebounds!?!!? 25!!!!!!!!!)
- Jazz couldn't make the open shot (.379 field goal %)
The issue on rebounds was expected as Carlos Boozer was a hassle for a weak-PF Laker's Lineup. But what worries me most was that a .379 field goal % allowed the Lakers only a 11 point win. Should have been at least a 20 point lead, but a win is a win and I'll take it any day. Game 2 of L.A. Lakers Vs. Utah Jazz is on Wed. May 7th, broadcast on TNT. Let's see if the Lakers fix their problems up.
Luckily Game 2 is going to be on TNT (BARKLEY!), because I can't stand watching ESPN/ABC telecasted games (Stu come back!!!) . Like for game 1, ESPN annoyingly kept going on and on about the fact about 79% of the teams that win Game 1, wins the series. Eh, I guess that was good to hear. Maybe we will get to see a Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals.
Oh boy.
