Caution: objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Except if you're the Lakers and that object is the playoffs. On Monday, the Warriors mostly cruised in a win over the Lakers - they were ahead by 25 in the third quarter - but Dwight Howard believes David Lee was cruising for a bruising. Howard was struck by a Lee elbow in the second quarter and although his lip required three stitches, it didn't halt Howard from running his mouth during the game - he received a technical on the play - or after. "I will remember that shot. I will take care of it later," Howard vowed. Pump the brakes, Tony Stewart, this isn't NASCAR, even thought this year's Lakers are the most overrated and undeserving of attention entity in sports outside of Danica Patrick.
Howard declined to take the high road and so did Golden State coach Mark Jackson. "We are the better basketball team. They are in the rear-view and I have not checked it and I will not," Jackson asserted. We know exactly what Jackson's driving at (or should we say away from?). The Lakers, only one game in front of the Jazz for the final place in the playoffs, need to find another gear and fast.
