Way too many Laker fans were able to get tickets for that game.

Time out.

 

[VF21]

Cisco taking a three? Douby taking a three? That is NOT what you do in overtime to win after a comeback like that. Corliss has been good inside, the ball should either have gone to Bibby to get to him, or to let Martin go inside and draw the foul.

Those stupid decisions could well have cost us the game. And yes, I'm pissed.
