We only shot 38% in the first quarter, the Magic will kill us if we keep this horrible shooting up. Bynum with the alley oop layup! Radman with the hook. The mayor is on the tv, I watch basketball for sports, not for politics. Howard with the and 1 dunk, and makes the free throw. Bynum is going to the line for two. Bynum makes both the free throws. Bynum with the block on Bogans! Farmar for the threee! We're up three! Sasha fouls Dooling on the jumper. He splits the pair. Howard's already got 12 and 5. Farmar misses the jumper. Arroyo hits the nice J in the paint. Sasha misses, Vlad rebounds and Evans misses. Bynum with the foul. He already has 3. Time out, Lakers and Magic all tied up.
Kobe exploded in the fourth (He had 16). Now, while he may have gotten a couple of foul calls he shouldn't (he did play with a bad groin though, so he wasn't 100% anyway), he still had 10 points minus the free throw attempts in the fourth quarter. He was really feeling his jumper. He had a great overall game and shooting percentage (28 points on 9-15, 8 rebs, 7 asts) I also must give props to Smush and his new career high (26). He had a great touch on those three pointers today(5-8). This marks the second game Smush has gone off on the Magic.
A much needed win at home. GO LAKERS! Smush played a hell of a game,and Kobe turned it on in the fourth.
I didn't believe that we could win this one. Bynum wasn't great, 4 blocks is alright. Smush and Bryant were shooting reat, I mean %.
I've noticed Smush comes through in alot of end game moments. We saw his 3 in game 4 of the Suns series, his block on Jason Terry, and the steal that prevented the possible overtime or win for the Magic.
Wow, I don't know what happened. Haha I passed out after my last post. Sorry fellas. Gah, I can't comment on the game now. The box score looks great for Kobe and I'm glad Smush was hot tonight. Man, Dwight Howard is a beast. I think he's the best center in the league, I'd argue for him.
we were 1 loss away from our 6 gme losing streak bec unless kobe catches fire against miami sa and dalla then i dont think we could win any of them
<div class="quote_poster">kobe23 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">we were 1 loss away from our 6 gme losing streak bec unless kobe catches fire against miami sa and dalla then i dont think we could win any of them</div> 6 game losing streak? we only lost 2 in a row, no more than that this season.
Bynum needs to learn to stay out of foul trouble. He was doing a good job on Howard for the most part, but the fouls limited his minutes. Anyways, nice effort by the Lakers. It's great to finally end the losing streak (2 games). I've noticed that Smush has started to step up recently. Good job Smushy Poo! I hope he continues to play at this level. Radmanovic on the other hand sucks. He's been a complete waste of the MLE thus far, and I still don't know why he doesn't just go get surgery
Yeah, I noticed Bynum's foul trouble, too. Many times he gets out with 6 fouls. And I believe we can win atleast 1 game against Spurs/Mavs/Heat. I think that Kobe is very focused when the Heat game comes. We all remember what happened at Christmas... And we all know Kobe's attitude.
<div class="quote_poster">YourNewChef Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">6 game losing streak? we only lost 2 in a row, no more than that this season.</div> You don't understand what he was talking about. He was saying if we lost the Magic game, he doesn't think we'd be able to win our next three games, thus resulting in a 6 game losing streak because we lost our two previous games before the Magic. Compliated?
