Hey Laker fans, I hate to remind you, but this is the same bullshit the Pistons tried to pull after winning their championship in 2004. Play down to the level of your competition, try to "turn it on" when you need to, etc.
It doesn't work. When you are supposed to win a series, all the pressure is on YOU. The other team isn't supposed to win, so they can relax, focus, and play ball.
The Lakers, if they do make it to the Finals, will not win a championship.
On another note, I despise both Van Gundy's. I want to make a website dedicated to both of them called STFU.com
