NBA, What Have You Taught Us Thus Far? Volume 4 "Don't Write Off The Lake-Show Just Yet"

 Do not worry about the Lake-Show.  What do we know about Phil Jackson teams on the brink of a 3-peat?  No matter what happens during season or what new favorites emerge, Phil Jackson teams get it done. Teams like the Knicks, Suns, Jazz & Kings have all had home court advantage against Phil Jackson led teams, but someway, somehow Phil gets enough out of his players to bring home the gold.  So what about this Laker team on their chances to making history?  Well, are they disinterested?  Absolutely.  LA doesn't just get beat bad by the elite, they get beat by the mediocre & the down-right awful, hello Cleveland.  This is the two-time defending champions looking for their fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals.  To not give up on them so easily.  Yeah, I know the Celtics, Spurs & Heat are the sexier picks right now, but it's February, not May, better yet, not June either.  LA is just as good on the road as they are at home.  Since Pau Gasol's arrival the Lakers have more road wins in the playoffs then anyone else in the league and that's no accident.  When you present the size they have on the front line along with the game's best player in Kobe Bryant, you never write them off, better yet, respect their "Gangsta", if you know what I mean of course.
