I'm elated.
Either the Lakers advance, becoming the first 7 seed to make a conference finals - or LeBron blows a 3-1 series lead.
Both of these possibilities are just fine by me.
One of those 'ho hum' 4-2 GS wins where James plays really well but ultimately they just aren't good enough would've suuuuuuucked. But so far the Lakers supporting cast has been outstanding and have proven vital to all 3 of these wins. And it hasn't just been Davis - it's been the depth overall. Davis dominated game 1, but games 3 and 4 have been a rotating cast of characters. About the only guy that doesn't seem to have a fit in this series is Vanderbilt (and Hachimura is having similar issues).
But otherwise, they're getting contributions from all over the lineup and from guys that are easy to root for.
It's been fun. And if it all falls to hell - I get to blame Lebron! Afterall - the GOAT would
never blow a 3-1 series lead. Surely mere force of will by the greatest to ever play should be enough for them to win 1 game in the next 3...
