Is that 2-21 playoff record accurate for the Lakers?

I'm not sure, it could be. Russell Co isn't known for it's football program by any stretch of the imagination. I think in 2003 we were 1-9.

In fact, I think that might have been part of the problem last night, we've always come in as the underdog and in recent years have played some really good games (2010 Up on ACS 13-0 @ half, 2009 Scored 27 on Lone Oak who hadn't given up that many points in their previous 5 games combined), but last night we were the favorite. That's something new to the team, the fans, and most importantly the coaches. I think you have to learn how to play as a favorite in the playoffs, and that's something the Laker's have little experience in.

I've said all year that we were too one-dimensional. I think that we were so satisfied with winning on the talent of Nick Britt that we failed to develop other facets of the game. Luckily we have a majority of these guys coming back and if we can improve the passing game, and broaden the playbook, then we should be a team to reckon with.
