“Do not bark up at the wrong tree or the tree will fall on you!” – The Takeover, Jay-Z


There are turning points (some for the worse or some for the better) in an NBA season. Last night’s loss to Cleveland will be that turning point that will unleash the demons that we have not seen in Kobe in the last few years. Last night was supposed to be the night for redemption from the Christmas day massacre. Lakers vs. Cavs; nationally televised, broken finger, SHAQ-FU and not to mention Craig sager and his ugly coat. Couldn’t have been a better stage for two of Nike’s puppets to battle it out. This is one game Cleveland will look back and ask themselves if they should have really won it. The crowd didn’t help either egging on with chants of MVP for the wrong guy again. Kobe walked off the court with a look in his eye that reminded me of last game in the 2008 NBA finals. We all know what happened in 2009 as a result. The very same wake-up call was sent again last night by the Cavs sweeping the Lakers for the season. I cannot wait to set my PVR to record the fury that # 24 is going to unleash on the league for rest of this season with or without his team. Thank you Cleveland for what you did last night. You would have been better off throwing a cup of beer on Ron Artest then what you did to Kobe last night. There is a reason why you should never get David Banner angry. God help whoever is guarding him in New York tonight.
