Game Winning Shot #3

I love game winning shots as much as the next guy, but when my favorite basketball team (the Los Angeles Lakers) have done it 3 times this season, by the hands of Kobe, it starts to scare me a bit. This Lakers are building a horrible habit, and that habit is letting other teams get ahead of them, in points, and making it harder on themselves to win games. It isn’t bad if your team gets down by 4 or 5 points but when other teams are getting ahead by 15 or more points is when you have to start to worry. After reading John Ireland’s blog post about last night’s Laker win it made me realize that the Lakers are on a troubled path. I still believe that the Lakers will win the 2009-2010 championship, but if they keep on playing games like this then I’m going to have to rethink the Lakers’ chances.
