That was ugly!!
They were tired , its as simple as that. No zip , no jump , just putting the time in. I honestly think the long flight messes with them. Tes its the same for both teams but LA had a lot more motivation and mostly younger people. Its not an excuse , its just a fact , those guys had no gas in the tank last night.
So they get a couple of days rest and play for all the marbles.
Is too bad Perkins got hurt. To miss the 7Th game will be a heartbreaker for him. As far as the team goes , I actually prefer to see Rasheed out there but he needs to stay out of foul trouble. The best part of having 3 big subs is they can play all out and rough becasue they have 18 fouls between them. So lets hope rasheed has the shooting touch Thursday.
I could find something bad to say about each player but what's the sense , they were just pooped. One think that gets lost in the final stats is the huge rebound advantage when the tok the 10 point lead. At that point it was 22 to 7 on rebounds. Thats 3 to 1. By the end it was still a 15 or so gap but it was down to like 3 to 2. They got to rebound. There was a time when the single most important statistic as far as indicating winner was offensive rebounds. Rebounds is all about hussle and they just didn't have any.
We all wanted a 7th game anyway
. Should be an exciting night tomorrow!!
