Game 5

I don't know about any other Lakers fans but I'm not at all surprised that the series is tied 2-2 heading into game 5 Tuesday. The inability to stop Russell Westbrook has killed the Lakers so far but I've been most disappointed with the lack of effort and hustle. The Thunder are after every loose ball, attacking the rim and playing solid defense while showing no signs of their playoff inexperience.

Having said that, I think being back at home will have the Lakers playing with more energy and focus and they'll pick up the W.

Some pics from the weekend...

Friday night dutch before heading out to Proof bar/lounge in Santa Ana.

Woke up the next morning in need of herbals and some serious food so I went out to Lake Forest to hit up Club Meds for a fresh batch of Cotton Candy...

...And to The Hat for a pastrami burger.

Enjoyed this dutch courtesy of Renheezie after the Lakers played miserably Saturday night.

Today catching up on some homework.

I also have to add that for the first time in several years the Raiders had a solid draft and I'm looking forward to a turnaround season this year. Picking up Jason Campbell from the Redskins isn't the complete answer at the QB position but he's a definite upgrade and hopefully signifies the end of the JaMarcus Russel era.

First round pick Rolando McClain, LB.
