Everyone knows my distaste for the color purple, at least when it's even remotely related to the Los Angeles Lakers. Having been swept by them during the regular season this year, however, I've been trying to not talk junk out of respect for their accomplishment. Sometimes my passion gets the better of me, usually when Kobe hoists 30 or more shots in a Laker loss or when Phil Jackzen stammers and chokes his way through an interview asking him to comment on the Celtics' latest acquisitions.
Last night Kobe hoisted 31 shots, and made ten. He was 0-6 from range. The Lakers' bench was outscored 47-7. Now I'm not saying this totally to dis' on the purple. They are still a league best 48-11. Instead, the Zen Mistress made a pungent observation after the game. "It was a junk game," he said. "You'll have those."
Something to keep in mind next time we shoot an air ball against a cellar-dweller.
