Isn't that the point of a basketball game? Whoever makes the most shots wins? So in essence, doesn't that make any game a game of luck? Whoever has the most shots "luckily" going in, wins the games. I'll repeat what I've said in another post: If the Lakers had O'neal and Rick Fox out, and Kobe was playing with a nagging injury, should they consider trading Derek Fisher, Lindsey Hunter, and Samaki Walker? Under those circumstances, yes, even the mighty Lakers may have lost to the lowly Bulls.
