Remember the Alamo

"But in terms of getting too excited about this good start or thinking we've won the championship in November, we all remember getting our butts kicked (by the Boston Celtics) in the Finals in June."In fact, losing to the Celtics by 39 points in the decisive Game 6 has been the Lakers' version of "Remember the Alamo," a rousing rallying cry for this season.

--LA Times

Whatever fellas.

Remember this. Remember that. I don't much care.

Phil promised that you were gonna remember Game 1 of the Finals in Game 2, and Game 2 of the Finals in Game 4. You lost almost the same lead in Game 5 that you did in Game 4 in less than half the time.

Then there was Game 6.

Talk is cheap.

Let's see what you can bring on 12/25.

Allowing Dallas to shoot 51% on your home court doesn't sound like any kind of new defense to me.
