Titles Hopes Slipping Away

Well, this didn't last long. After winning an ugly game Sunday to force a Game 6, the Lakers forgot to show up in Boston. As I'm sitting here right now typing this, the Lakers trail by a whopping 90-60 margin... 30 points!

I really don't know where to start.
Their defense is non-existant; their offense has been stagnant; they can't rebound to save their lives. I'm just speechless by this display of basketball. I'm beyond disgusted with their effort tonight. This is an absolutely inexcusable, to go out on there on national stage and perform the way they have in this game. 101-70 now. At least this isn't getting any worse.

They came out of the gates and looked like they were going to make something happen. Kobe, as he had done in Game 5, came out firing on all cylinders, scoring 11 of the Lakers first 13 points. It's been all down hill since, for him, and the rest of the team. Lamar Odom? 6 points without a field goal. Pau Gasol? A very quiet 11 points. No one else has more than 7 points, and theirs over 8 minutes left in this game. And the lead is growing, folks! 104-70.....
