Bill Plaschke’s May 5 column, “Lakers Jolted Back to Reality,” is mistitled. It should be: “Columnist Jolted Back to Reality.”
In his May 3 column, the only thing Plaschke had right in celebrating Anthony Davis’ Game 1 performance in the Warriors series as a definitive triumph over inconsistency was that “a bunch of you [fans] hardly believe it.” We didn’t, and his predictable disappearance in Game 2 proves we were right not to. So the next time, Bill, you find yourself driven to admit, as you do, “that [the columnist himself] hardly believes it,” trust your gut.
