Collapse at Staples Center

There were two games played at the Staples Center last night.  The Lakers won the first game, the Celtics won the second.  That's one way to look at it.  The other, correct way is that the Lakers took a seemingly insurmountable lead into halftime and totally collapsed in the second half to lose to the Celtics.  Kobe said they wet their bed.  That they did.  They totally collapsed last night.  I think they got comfortable with their first half blowout and didn't think they had a chance of losing.  Did they forget who they were playing?  The Celtics are a TEAM.  Every day, you have two choices to make -- how you start and how you finish.  Start strong AND finish strong in every aspect of your life.  Finish strong in working, doing, loving, giving, worshipping, praising and all things positive.  If you don't, you can bet that negative things will overtake you.   Don't collapse in the second half of your game, your day or your life.  "Run in such a way as to finish the race!"  That's the mark of a true champion.
