L.A. Lakers Shocking Finals
Before the NBA finals started, everyone placed their money, bets, eyes, predictions on the Lakers to win the title. And now... the Pistons are leading the series 3 to 1 - ONE match away from winning the NBA title!
I must admit that the Lakers are not playing at the style/skill/whatever-you-call-it that they used to play during the regularly season. The Pistons' rock-solid defense broke down the Lakers' flimsy defense and offense. Whatever shot Bryant takes, it'll be contested by one, two or sometimes 3 Pistons players. Larry Brown has done a great job in limiting the Lakers offense to only Shaq being able to score.
Malone, Payton and George/Fox have all not been able to contribute to the Lakers defense and offense. It's like Shaq and Bryant against all five Pistons players.
I think that the Finals MVP would be Chauncey Billups for his great consistency in both defense and offense. He has been averaging more than 20 points a game in the LAL-PISTON finals series.
