Now. The Lakers did their job, although I am not pleased with the throwing of the switch mentality. In the WC Finals, if Minnesota is the opponent, the team needs to go in and steal one of the first two games -- not the fifth -- in the Target Center.
The sense of urgency would be less if Sacramento is the oppt., because the Lakers have home court.
And it was beautiful to see Sugar Shaquille Diesel Daddy O'Neal crash the boards 19 times last night and block those shots.
