Can Kobe Bryant And Lakers Climb That Mountain One More Time?

The Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant has had a season of highs and lows. They went into the All-Star break getting hammered by the Cleveland Cavaliers and came out of it showing people they can still make a run at an NBA Championship. Fast forward to today and you have a team that has lost five games in a row. Can they turn it on in the playoffs and take another NBA Championship?

Last year I would probably say yes, but this year is a lot different. The Lakers are older and they seem to be much more inconsistent this year than they were last season. San Antonio and Oklahoma City are playing great basketball. The Thunder picked up Kendrick Perkins and that maybe the guy that can get the Thunder past the Lakers. Everyone knows the Lakers have the talent, but another championship this year maybe out of the question.

Tiger Woods Shows Glimpses Of Old Form Finishes Fourth At Masters

Many people have wondered if we will ever see the old Tiger Woods and the answer at least glimpses of it. Woods probably played some of the best golf of the weekend and fell short as he finished fourth at the Masters. Now he was in contention for most of the weekend, so he has to feel better about where his golf game is right now.

Tiger Woods has struggled since coming back from his layoff, but The Masters showed us he can still play the game of golf. Once he gets it all put back together he may still be able to win some tournaments. I do not think we will ever see the old Tiger Woods. I think that was lost when his twisted tale of infidelity was on stage for the world to see. No matter what we still can see Tiger Woods does still have some good golf in him.

Lakers, Heat Going In Opposite Directions As Playoffs Near

The Miami Heat went into Boston in a statement game and made a loud statement with a easy 100-77 route of the Boston Celtics. It was kind of surprising how easily the Heat won the game. No matter what anyone tells you the Celtics really miss Kendrick Perkins and his toughness in the middle. With Shaq still out it could be tough on the Celtics in the playoffs.

For the Los Angeles Lakers their rollercoaster season continues as they now have lost five games in a row after a 120-106 blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. This loss may not seem huge right now, but the Thunder gave the Lakers all they could handle in the playoffs last season. It is hard to get a read on the Lakers as one day they look great the next day they do not. I guess we will have to wait to see what they do in the playoffs.
