Lakers vs. Cavaliers

  Lakers Vs. Cavaliers

With a great season so far and a record of 46-23 everyone though that the Los Angeles Lakers where ready. And with great players like Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, and Pau Gasol – just to name a few – many think that the Lakers are a dream team. And with the team averaging 102.2 points per game, there is no wonder that everyone thought that the Lakers where ready for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They Cavaliers on the other hand are not off to the best start. With a record of 17-46 only people that had faith in them were the people of Cleveland themselves. But with good players like Alonzo Gee, Daniel Gibson, Joey Graham, and Ramon Sessions – just to name a few – hope was still there. Cleveland also averaged 95.8 points per game.

During the 2009-2010 season the Los Angeles had not one but two devastating losses against the Cleveland Cavaliers. First game Lebron James coming out with 26 points, Shaquille O'neal with 11, and Mo Williams with 28. And on the Laker side Kobe Bryant with 35 points, Pau Gasol with 11, and Ron Artest with 13, we weren’t surprised that the Cavaliers had won. The second game was closer with Lebron with 37 points, O'neal with13, and Hickson with 11. Lakers player Kobe had 31 points, Gasol with 13, and Odom with 10. The Lakers where tired of losing to the Cavs.

When Lebron, got traded to the heat, the Cavs weren’t that happy anymore. With numerous losses, the Lakers were ready. So they thought. After the cavaliers were beaten 112-57 by the Lakers on Jan. 11, they weren’t playing around after that embarrassment. “Playing the finale of a seven-game road trip, the Lakers spent much of the night looking as if they were already on vacation.” said the associated press. And boy did the Lakers get a rude awakening.
