Well, at least it was 1 overtime. When Kobe was asked by LA Sports interview guy if he 'had enough left' for the Rockets tomorrow, he replied, 'I better".
Kobe is playing with flu like symptoms or something like that. Durant seems like he can't handle pressure/choker.
kobe had flu like symptoms so that could explain it, he still played pretty good from what I saw, besides that turnover. he played 45 minutes so it should be good for us tomorrow.
Yeah, tomorrow's gonna be epic. The Lakers had a hard time tonight w/The Thunder. Artest looked good running his own thing, sometimes fitting into the offense and playing his typical 'rough-house' defense. But Shane/Ariza on a worn out, half sick, back-to-back Kobe is top notch entertainment!
Josh Smith can be amazingly effective one minute then equally ineffective the next. If he can ever get it together between the ears, he will be one of the most valuable players in the league, even if he never becomes a good shooter.
He's worked with Calvin Murphy for a few summers to work on his shooting and free-throws. But I don't see the improvement I was expecting to see ... I probably had too high expectations because he has the tools to do it.
Looking at the box score in the Lakers vs Thunder game. Wow the Lakers have no bench power AT ALL. A total of 6 bench points tonight. Now the big key to the Rockets victory against the Jazz last night was how our bench outscore Utah's bench 40-13. This is going to be a huge key for the Rockets tomorow.
Decent night for the rockets. Denver and Phoenix won, unfortunately. However, we overtook OKC in the standings and they took the lakers to overtime for us. Hopefully the lakers are gassed tomorrow. Portland lost too. Utah and the mavs beat up on each other and they both played terrible ball.
The Hawks with the huge win in Portland tonight! Man, Jamal Crawford had one of "those" games for everybody that's familiar with the course of his career. Some nights he's unguardable and one of the best players on the court -- others he's a brick layer that contributes nothing when his shot isn't falling. Tonight he was as hot as ever. Plus, it didn't hurt that Joe Johnson badly outplayed Roy down the stretch too. Booyah!
