I'm torn about missing this game. On the one hand, we lost such a winnable game and it looks like our defense was non-existent. But Bargnani had a career-high and I heard he was driving all over the place. Bahh. Let's move on.
How did the Lakers win? They played 8 players and are in the second game of a back to back. I guess it helps that Kobe went batty today. Anyone think the Lakers might have been inspired by the Gasol trade? Otherwise, I have no thought as to how an exhausted Laker team managed to smoke the Raps.
Sam Mitchell is a gluten for punishment. He didn't make any adjustments defensively and Kobe picked them apart all night.
