Well, 30 minutes til tip off. The Lakers are in a must win situation in my opinion with all these teams closing in for the playoffs. I really like them to come out strong at home and set the tempo early and play their game. We HAVE to somehow shut down Bibby this game, he just absolutely kills us everytime. Last game, they were without Kevin Martin, who I believe is their leading scorer, so I hope they will keep him in check too. If Kevin Martin guards Kobe, I'll want Kobe to be aggressive early, and if Artest sticks Kobe, I'd like Kobe to get others involved while maintaining some kind of balance of aggressiveness. We're 6 point favorites tonight, so let's hope things go according to plan and we take care of the Kings.
Kobe with 9 assists already and I just got home so I'm only looking at the updated boxscore. Now I shall go watch on TV..LETS GO LAKERS~~!
Kobe is looking really good. Just 5/11 shooting with 16 points and 10 assists. nice balance tonight so far.
This game is so boring, but the Lakers are winning. I'm really hoping they can hold on. Kobe's got 19 and 10.
What a great idea by Kobe to get that Ball hogging Rockets game out of everyone's memory. He was picking the Kings apart today with his court vision. Superb overall game by Kobe.
Great win, but what else is new? Mo Evans showed up...we get that from him every once in awhile, that goes for all of our bench. Now, I'll be more excited if we get solid contributions from our role players in our next game...or else this game will just be another great fluke game for our role players.

I thought this game was pretty exciting. A lot of nice passing and assists and it was nice to see Lakers other than Kobe play really well. I enjoyed the game a lot.

Good win none the less, and I'm really looking forward to seeing if the bench can continue the play or if it was another one of those fluke games.
Like everybody I hope the bench can play like this all the time. Well close to it anyways. Contributing at least 35 points from this point on.
I watched this game, and this is exactly how we have to play to win in the playoffs. Great teamwork, ball movement and player movement. If everyone can find a way to contribute, Kobe won't have to try to do it all by himself, and we can win some tough ballgames.
