I love how in a span of 2 weeks we went from believing Pau was the best PF in the league, Bynum the 2nd best center, Artest the best lockdown defender to the Lakers having nothing to go around Kobe and Pau being the 6th best player in the series. Comical.

who is "we"? because of 2 mediocre game's in Boston where the games were still pretty damn close?

That kind of crap is what bothers me about the NBA. It is not only "what have you done for me lately", but "what have you done for me today". That's why coaches get hired and fired faster than a cast changed on Law and Order.

Nowadays, if you lose or are losing a playoff series, even if it is in the finals, you're seen as some sort of inferior also-ran that "has a lot of work to do".

If the lakers lose game 6, everybody and their uncle will have an opinion about "what is wrong with the lakers". There's nothing wrong with the lakers. They are just getting beat by a really strong team.

If the lakers win game 6, everybody and their uncle will hand them the trophy and talk about how Boston's big 3 are getting too old and their window is closing.

Overreaction is the norm.

I never believed any of those things, sir.
