Kobe with ANOTHER game winner. He's really piling them up this year. Amazing. Deserved a thread of its own. Lakers seemed really lazy the first half and Kobe, Pau, and Odom save them the following half. Weird game.
I saw the fourth quarter. haha Seemed like Hawes, Udrih, and Casspi were killing us. That shot was fucking crazy, he almost didn't get it off in time. When Pau passed him the ball there was like 2 seconds left, and he sorta fumbled it, but he got it out his hands at 0.1 of a second. lol Simply the best. Most clutch player in the league bar none.
Wow... Did you look at Casspi after Kobe hit the shot? I felt so bad for him LOL Hawes and Casspi were just killing us. Bynum for Hawes and Casspi (LOL) *BTW, Kobe played 47mins. We need Ron Ron back. D-Fish 1-10FG (around 5 where open looks).
I thought the shot was good and everybody was celebrating, but my heart stopped when they showed the reply. lol It was sooooooooooo close. But yeah, our point guards are pathetic. Fish should not be starting or playing the amount of minutes he currently is. And Farmar is just garbage. PGs kill us each and every night. Do something Mitch.
I'm glad we won and all. But I'm not happy about how the game went down. They were leading at Stamples Center, Kings, a relatively shitty team against the best in the league.
Phil loves Fisher, he's going to take a while to adjust. To me Fish should be resting, due to his age and the way he is playing.
Kobe has 3 buzzer beaters this year. The rest of the NBA has three buzzer beaters, one belonging to Dirk, one to Baron Davis (which was just the other night), and the last belonging to Damien Wilkins. And I find it funny that there are people on this board that would say Kobe isn't the most clutch player in the NBA.
On a sidenote though, this was a game of concern to me. We struggled against a Kings team that was missing Tyreke Evans, which is not a good sign. And we had to come back from a 20some point deficit as well, also not good. I'm not terribly concerned unless we make a habit of struggling against teams that are out-manned, but it's still something worth pointing out. We struggled to beat Sacramento a few nights ago and we only beat GS by 6, couple that with tonight and those are three games we should probably easily win. Those, along with our duds we threw up against Cleveland and Phoenix are things that might be concerning at some point if those kind of struggles become more and more common.
The Kings are actually a team that's getting better and better every week. They've got some sensational young talent in Casspi, Hawes, Thompson, Greene and Evans. I imagine they'll only get better when Martin gets back, as long as he and Evans can find a way to mesh (which they were struggling with in the few games Martin played before getting hurt). I actually think they could make a run for the #8 seed this year, along with the Thunder (and this is largely because I don't think an Oden-less Blazers team has staying power, and I think the Rockets are going to collapse sooner or later - it's not a good sign when Ariza is one of your go-to guys).
Moo2K4: Yup, but I don't think we should be having that much trouble with them. Oh yeah, Artest, he didn't play tonight? Shit, I guess we're just waiting for those wounds to heal. He said he really wants to play soon.
Why the hell is Fisher taking 10 shots? Nice to see Bynum have an efficient offensive game. Not concerned with the boards, as Pau cleaned that shit up. Love the 3 blocked shots, as well.
Fish needs to chill out for a few games. It is obvious he needs a break, or less playing time. Maybe more time off will give him fresh legs or something.
It was in the paper, I believe. Or I read it online. Try some of these sites for Lakers' news: Lakers.com PE.com (find their sports section) latimes.com (find their sports section)
Well, he did get a concussion, and that is one of the side-effects of it, it's pretty common. It usually takes at least a week to recover from one, sometimes more. Just ask Brian Westbrook, he can tell you all about 'em.
infractions on the game winner: push off, and kobe was out of bounds but its the lakers and kobe bryant so the officials silenced their whistles.
