    They can't do it for much longer. As soon as their bench comes in they lose momentum.

    too many turnovers become a lot of fast breaks.

    our offense just can't keep up with such a high scoring game, especially not after to give the ball away.

    Wow, different Laker team, this is the team everybody was talking about would sweep us. They'd sweep a lot of teams playing this way.

    They're always tough. Their offense is off the freaking charts, and Kobe always starts off on absolute fire against us.

    I think we're playing okay so far though. Let's keep it up.

    The 2nd dumbest player in the league Lamar Odom actually came to play. We are doomed if he ends up having a big game.

    The real dumbest player in the league Aaron Brooks, came to shoot. And obviously he will be missing.

    so the only shot kobe has missed was the one time we let him get to the basket?

    he doesn't shoot open jumpers as well as he's shot contested jumpers against us all season. it's ridiculous. he's like jason terry.

    Rotations are slow, lakers getting layups. Since kobe is kicking shanes ass again, we might as well slide shane overb to ariza , artest to kobe and scola to odom.

    They were shooting like 80% against us last game in the first quarter. Don't worry yet.

    The big guy is doing great, stop talking out of your ass. He's getting involved on offense and has blocked some shots. It's the late rotation and the lack of double-teaming Kobe that has killed us. Defense needs to turn up like the crowd did

    Key for us. Don't let Aaron go near Yao.
