7:00 PDT I dunno if I'll be able to watch tonight, but hopefully the bench continues to work its magic, Bynum continues to get back into game shape, and Kobe stops trying to score 50 points in a freaking preseason game and allow others to get some action
I'll be watching from my girl's house so I'll post during commercials or something provided the computer is free.
Here we go, here we go. Lakers open up the game with a 24- 16 lead. About 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter. On the court Farmar-Kobe-Ariza-Gasol-Odom
Gerald Wallace gets fouled by Ariza slashing to the rim. Misses the free throw, rebound Odom. Odom bricks, rebound Wallace. Wallace goes coast to coast and draws another foul. Tough call on Odom looked like all ball.
Wallace makes 1 of 2 again. Lakers spacing is horrible right now. Odom misses a reverse layup in traffic, Kobe grabs the offensive ball and its slapped out of bounds. Steal on a sloppy inbound pass by Trevor leads to a JRich jam at the other end. Gasol misses a baby hook, good contest by Okafor. Rebound Dudley, stupid foul on Trevor.
JRich hits a 15 footer, Luke is in for Kobe Farmar with a brick and JRICH flies in for another layup. Farmar turns it over trying to make a tough pass. Augustine alley oop to Okafor and Bobcats take the lead.
Charlotte just took the lead with a series of fastbreak plays..... Trevor got called for a charge... Charlotte up 26-24
Ariza offensive foul. Lakers look slow tonight and aren't running their offense at all. JRich shoots an airball. Lakers get the ball up quick, Ariza drives in gets fouled and scores right before the buzzer. Nice finish.
Trevor got the continuation...its tied with a Trevor free throw and the end of 1st quarter.... Replay will be used for the first time I've seen. Trevor missed the free throw, but Pau tipped it in. We're up 28-26.
The Minutemen are playing well again tonight on both offense and defense....nice nickname to the squad too.... Morrison just hit a three after Bynum had the And 1. Charlotte just got defensive three second.... Lakers are up 38-34 cause FARMAR CANNOT HIT A FREE THROW... We are 2 of 7 on free throws...
Lakers had a good 6mins of turnovers and no scoring.... Sun needs to stop fading to his left when he shoots, it throws all his shots off to the left and its bad. Cats up by 7. Kobe is in the locker room...uh oh.
Sun needs NBDL to get rid of whatever jitters he has, cause he isn't playing like himself..not confident at all, which I don't get cause the kind of 3rd string talent he is playing in preseason is about the same kind of compeitition he played against here this past year under Aoshen. I hope Kobe isn't injured. I think we are down 54-48.
Hyperextended knee. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hyperextended-knee/AN00283 Damnit. I'm going to the season opener next week so this kills me.
Crashed into Josh Powell's knee. Lakers are up 82-76 due to Farmar, Lamar, and Luke. Kobe is in street clothes, and I'm glad the bench can come in and hold down the defense like this, getting a ton of steals. Jordan with 9pts this quarter...so far.
Some dude sitting in the row behind the basket just got kicked in the face by a Bobcat player, and he looks pissed...lol
