Dear Lakers

Dear Lakers,

THANK YOU for showing up last night, and staying present the entire game. The intensity didn't fade off even after going into the half up by 27. Thank you for embarrassing the Rockettes to the extent that our embarrassment from Sunday has nearly faded away. Thank you for holding them to 54 pts after 3 qtrs, after they held you to 59 after 3 in game 4. Thank you Drew for playing with some confidence. Thanks Lamar for sticking through it, I hope your back feels better (I know your pain). Thank you Kobe for igniting the intensity and for again reminding Shane Battier that there's nothing he can do to properly guard you. Thank you LAKERS for that 40 point win...we needed it bad. But don't get complacent again, we've still got 10 games to go. Congrats Phil for being the first coach to reach 200 postseason wins. Kobe, you don't have to sleep on the couch anymore. ;)

Love,
Christine

PS. Dear Houston - Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
