That boom you hear is LA imploding

All I can say is "Thank you Jason Kidd so very much for staying with the Nets." Tony Parker is unbelievable. When the Spurs were chasing Kidd last year, all I could think of was "Why?" Parker is only 21. He's still learning the game, yet he's playing like an All-Star. The upside is immense. His talent and ability won't peak for another five years or so.

Shaq played his game, and that's supposed to make the Lakers unbeatable. But Manu Ginobli and Tim Duncan played their games as well. Coupled with Tony Parker's impersonation of Wally West, LA never had a chance. Well, LA did have a chance--they pulled within two in the fourth--but once again they were out of gas at the end of the game. It's pretty obvious that two of these four future Hall of Famers on the Lakers' roster are simply old.

Tony Parker was too much for the Lakers to handle — too accurate in the early going, too quick all night, and too deft on his best move of the game.

Parker scored eight of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, including a stunning crossover move that fooled Devean George and ended the Lakers' final push as San Antonio defeated Los Angeles 95-85 Wednesday night in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series.
