I think that's a little harsh.  Everyone has an off game now and then, and
this may have been one of Fox's.  But throughout the year, and the earlier
part of the playoff games, he's been one of the few Lakers to play
consistently well (and as though he actually was interested in winning).

Any game that the Fakers have a chance of loosing means something.  And to see
them loose three playoff games in a row !  Life is good.

Also, it's great to see a team that depends on teamwork and execution beat the
'highlight reel' showoffs in their own building to go 3-0.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to the Kobe Bandwagon :-)
Oh well, enough gloating for a while (if there can be such a thing as gloating
too much when the Lakers loose).
