" But you know I'd look at the body language of these two team is just the electoral -- magic just -- elect it could be this Laker team and -- I Harken back to game to win and in this. In that aspect Courtney Lee first floated in the loud but you did just having a chance to pull out and steal a game on the Lakers -- but that was devastating to this -- for the -- the positive -- have our reasons are knocking down jumpers he start locking up -- Turkoglu just didn't underneath his skin Lamar Odom had a huge third quarter -- and down the reason Lakers went on what Eckstein does that run in the second third quarters. Got up by ten at halftime. And increased the lead to go about fifteenth after the third quarter so the black mama Kobe Bryant we talked about last time I was here. The team that has learned during the course of the playoffs how to put teams away Kobe. Bryant aren't MVP honors at the final altogether what does this season mean for his likeness. It means a Latina is out all the things that Kobe Bryant has been through on the court and off the -- of past two years. And just in general basketball people. Not basketball you feel like well he won three but yet Jack would know Jackie would not have been successful at it for Kobe kind of orchestrated allegedly allegedly orchestrated. Big checks that departure from Los Angeles just approved. To himself to the people in Los Angeles of the basketball world that he can lead a team to a championship on his own. And he did that and did it did a tremendous job of that that the coach on the floor exhorting his teammates getting into his teammates. With a guy went crazy but with -- wouldn't go you're an acting like a little tough who have that he hasn't been a little bit over the -- from him but other than that I thought he did admit community and a record -- on the act and divide the Lakers had trouble with Houston and Denver what was different about the -- well again I think the Lakers learned. What it took an. LA thought that that Denver would have the Lakers -- because matchup problems because there was planned. That's tough minded basketball attracted both went atop his game. Lakers came out and and just displayed just of that killer in Dick when he put them away I think they'll these kind of lit up to this matchup and don't forget. You know game six -- last your Boston Celtics all these guys mold these guys -- their Trevor reason didn't play but he was there watching that in the locker room understanding. The intensity level how much -- need to be ratcheted up in order to be a champion so. That it -- last year plus the playoffs this year equal to make the team we're in right now just -- at the right time. And a whole lot of motivation for pleasure to end up to the magic had their opportunities in this series and how much you think the lack of playoff experience -- list of the top. Yes -- you know Roger because I -- stand van -- and and what he brings to the table as the -- but he made some mistakes in this series are starting off with a with a with a whole brouhaha over Rafer Alston and -- that you know Nelson comes back all it is related to the finals you've got to stick with him he and Draper Darren what do you know twelve minutes that Los Angeles and in the early -- this series as a -- and Benjamin knuckles on the court in my opinion much too far -- the basketball team. To run as cohesive -- as they had been doing all throughout the playoffs I thought that was a mistake on his part of the need to look at little. Other things like not -- on Derrick Smith on the dirt there's -- on the three point attempt and things like that I thought. -- either the -- going to exhibit experience with with a going to be a factor. Yeah Phil Jackson has been there's so many -- the for the -- again -- first half and his team's first time in this the Tina I think that'll learn a lot from experienced it and be better because of it but. Experienced a major factor in this series thanks Marcus we appreciate the exact that's going to do it for the NBA playoff recap presented by the Honda Ridgeline strike me to delegate for market Zambrano will next."
