Postcards From LA, Vol. 7: One Lakers Fan Tracks His Team Through the NBA Playoffs
emptythebench.com 5/10/2008 — The Lakers got as close as 95-92 with just over three minutes left in the game when Derek Fisher, the team’s best free throw shooter, went 1-2 from the charity stripe. That miss, when both were really needed, was symbolic of the Lakers entire evening. The Purple and Gold was simply out of sync, looking nothing like the polished machine that controlled Game 2.

Postcards From LA, Vol. 8: One Lakers Fan Tracks His Team Through the NBA Playoffs
emptythebench.com 5/12/2008 — Larry Miller picked a poor game to miss. True, the Jazz owner may have scored a few points with his Mormon God by choosing, for religious reasons, not to attend the first Sunday game at Utah in seven years (although I’m going to assume he’ll still keep the profits from the game). But he missed a well-played contest that left Lakers fans feeling blue and perhaps even a bit blasphemous.
