# Mark Whicker of The Orange County Register: There was more evidence that Ramon Sessions is exactly what he was when the Lakers got him from Cleveland – a backup point guard, at least on this level. He was supposed to keep point guards from burrowing inside the defense, and he was supposed to beat people downcourt. The Lakers scored zero fast-break points Monday.
Meanwhile, the Spurs and Lakers are two
Euro 2012 Jerseys of the older teams in the league, and the Clippers are wounded warriors. Special sympathy has to go to the Lakers, who are chapped about the Chris Paul trade that didn't happen at the outset of the season, are coming out of a grueling contest against the Nuggets during which they often looked exhausted and are now facing the league's most astonishingly rested and young team in the Thunder.
Even, knock wood, if no one from any of those teams gets hurt in the days to come -- although injuries happen all the time, of course -- it is a lock that a week from now fans in one city or another will blame the schedule-makers.
Early next week both West series will have a team trailing 3-2, or worse. Maybe fans of that team will blame their predicament on the other team simply being better, or some other basketball factor.
But more likely they'll blame D# uted Laker purple. Rest trumped rust. And Russ trumped them all. Russell Westbrook was tThe Lakers had no conventional point guard under Phil Jackson. Sessions is a driver and disher, and it's obvious that few of his teammates, if any, know exactly where he's going and what he'll be doing. In the playoffs he is shooting 36.8 percent with 31 assists in eight games. But it's much more than that. The Lakers are now minus-32 in point differential in these playoffs and, for the third time, lost a game by 15 or more points. Last season ended with a 36-point flameout in Dallas, and Bynum decking J.J. Barea and removing his shirt on his way out. Monday night ended with Devin Ebanks getting tossed and losing his shirt.

Big 3 Combos, This Season
Heat Pts Diff per 48 Cheap Football Shirts Minutes
James and Wade +17.1
All 3 +12.8
James and Bosh +7.8
Wade and Bosh -3.6
When James and Wade played together without Bosh on the floor, the Heat outscored their opponents by over 17 points per 48 minutes. That was easily the best out of any combination of the three players.
The Heat will miss Bosh’s scoring production in the front court. Miami had the third highest scoring production during the regular season from their front court starters, who averaged 45.6 points per game. The Orlando Magic (46.5 PPG) and New York Knicks (46.0 PPG) were the only teams ahead of Miami.
On the flip side, Wade’s production decreased across the board in five games without Bosh this season.
During the regular season, the Heat were nine points better per 48 minutes with Bosh on the court. The difference was on offense, where Miami scored nearly eight more points in the paint per 48 minutes.
Not surprisingly,ffs can be revealing.
# Bob Ford of The Philadelphia Inquirer: Winning close games was a skill that eluded the Sixers during the entire regular season. While they were adept at creating blowouts on those nights when the opposition didn't want to fight through their clinging defense, they weren't very good at finishing games in which the outcome was in doubt. During the regular season, the Sixers were 5-18 in games decided by eight or fewer points and 1-8 in games decided by five or fewer points. That's why it was shocking when three of their four wins against Chicago in the opening rounavid Stern and his minions, for their lockout, their dense season and their unusual second-round playof
- Much of the focus will be on the matchup between Chris Paul (third in MVP voting) and Tony Parker (fifth in MVP voting). The two have faced off seven times in the postseason, with Parker winning four times. Paul has enjoyed the statistical advantage, averaging 23.7 points per game and 10.7 assists per g
Maybe, just maybe, Kobe isn't willing to abandon hope after 48 minutes of a second-round series. Tough to saehavior, that’s a big number for people who care about him and his team to absorb.
