I don't get to see Lakers game all that often (unless it's playoff games or ABC ones), but this game was broadcast on my basic cable for once, and the Lakers ended up winning. First and foremost, Smush Parker is even worse than you guys make him out to be. When he was in the game, the Lakers were losing by 8-12 points, and it was pretty much his fault. He was giving the ball away while trying to make entry passes, he was picking horrible shots to take, and was making silly turnovers. Not to mention, he was playing NO defense. With him on the floor, the Lakers were playing really sloppy basketball. However, when Farmer came into the game, it slowly began changing for the better. Although Kobe exploded in the 3rd, it was Farmer, Odom, and Turiaf who were the other Lakers that held it down. Great night for Kobe, and in all honesty I only saw him take ONE bad (or 'forced') shot from the 2nd quarter in.
Kobe hits four clutch freethrows at the end to put the game away. 46 points- 5 rebs- 6 asts- 3stls -1 block. Nice job.
Praise the lord they won. Last time I seen the score it was 103 to 101 I believe with 2 minutes and 30 seconds to go.
Kobe shouldn't of had to work that hard to beat the Sonics, they were without Ray Allen for goodness sakes.
