L.A. Lakers Win Game One Of The Western Conference Finals - One Hell Of A Dogfight
Denver should have won this game, but woulda, coulda, shoulda, doesn't cut it in the NBA. Melo was awesome, but Kobe was clutch. Pau Gasol got off his ass in the last few minutes and made some huge defensive plays. Ariza was effective and Odom was weak, but overall the Lakers gutted out a very tough win.
One last thing - it's way past time for folks to realize that Carmelo Anthony is the real deal. He played his ass off tonight!

Carmelo is a MAN! I am proud of his maturation and as a fan of the game just tremendously impressed with his skill on full display! I enjoyed watching him even though he was kicking our ass! I am no hater Prof!
Odom was in his 'space cadet' mode for sure. He does that though - he will be spectacular though just when we need him to be. Like you said.. Kobe was clutch!
Rudy T. said it best a long time ago. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. Most championship teams win their share of games like these that they were "supposed" to lose.
I don't suspect we will have the mental let downs from the last series. And Denver is probably over thinking that we are the Mavs.
Great win for us!
