All fans of the LA Lakers, if they've followed this particular team for a while - and with a level of fandom above "casual fan", will know certain realities about this team. And one of those realities is that in games like the two just witnessed in OKC they will weigh up effort vs value. And if effort is ever found to be deemed at quite a bit higher than the value... then they'll go through the motions.
Like they did in game 4.
Am I annoyed? Do I find it frustrating? Hell yes.
But I'm not going to over-analyse it, as it will ultimately be a fruitless exercise. Matter o' fact, I'm not going to analyse it at all.
The same Lakers won't turn up for game 5, as this game actually means something to them.
Do I still think the Lakers will win? Yes.
Am I buying into the OKC-coolaid yet? Good team... I still think we're done without going the full distance with LA walking away the victor in 6.
