Ahhhhhhhh! What a tough loss tonight for the P&G. I didn't think they would win, but they gave us hope and then crushed it with another 4th quarter letdown. The 76ers defense was fantastic tonight, especially on their schemes to swarm Kobe. The Lakers offense came to a halt and you could just see the frustration all night long. Kobe Bryant had his worst game of the season 7-27 from the field, and 3 turnovers. Iggy used every ounce of energy to crowd Kobe and contest his shot. I thought Odom played well tonight and was great posting up on Korver. Unfortunately, the team went away from him the final quarter, and Odom had ZERO shot attempts. Every time he brought the ball up, made the intial pass, he never saw the ball again. Terrible execution of the Triangle. Kwame Brown had another disappointing game. Either his hand injury is really bothering him or he's really that bad at catching the ball and not being ready for any pass. So far Kwame has been the equilvalent of a flirt. If he continues this inconsistent play, the Lakers are going to be forced to trade or sign a big man. The team cannot continue to count on George to play 30+ minutes off the bench and slide Odom to PF and hope to have a successful season. I thought the Sasha and AI scuffle was hilarious. Good for Sasha finally showing some fight out there. He didn't let that cheapshot elbow by AI earlier in the game go unnoticed. Lakers need to salvage the trip by winning in Memphis.
Yeah that game sucked and was painful to watch. I dont know why Kobe launched that three so early in the shot clock, they didn't even need a 3.

I didn't mind the shot, Kobe got a clean look, he just missed it. I can live with that, because more often than not he nails it. The last two games have been painful. The Lakers went into the 4th quarter leading in both games, but couldn't close them out.

Kwame, poor guy, he just needs some confidence. He made CWebb look like a statue quite a few times, he just couldn't finish, I feel for him cause he's pretty nimble for a big man. Sasha.......as he learned, it's gonna take more than a pussified act of frustration to stop AI. He didn't earn AI's respect a bit by doing that, AND he goes home with a bottom lip like Jay-Z's He reminded me of the kid in elementary school who gets brave and makes faces at you while you're being taken to the principles office for punking him, tough guy.

He did enough to get under AI's skin

It takes alot for AI to react like that, I was kinda shocked actually. But I like how AI hit the first free throw, glared at Sasha for a couple seconds, and calmly sank the second one.
