What everyone needs to understand is the NBA is run like a business. If the lakers sweep, its bad for business so from time to time a team has to lay down, which is exactly what happened in game two. My guess is the NBA wants this series to go 6 games. That way both teams get their 3 games at home(Huge money). TNT gets their 6 full games to sell add spots(even bigger money), and everyone is happy. Plus the fact Garrnet won the MVP this year shows, the NBA wants to give KG some exposure. Tonight lakers should win going away, Thurs will be a closer game...
