A game after shutting down Melo... He holds Granger to 2-9 shooting. Ron also shot 5-9, finished with 11 points, 4 assists, and 5 steals. After losing all that weight he's starting to look like his DPOY status again
I doubt he wins it anytime soon, considering how much people suck the jockstrap (defensively) of Dwight Howard or KG (only eligible if healthy for a whole damn season). Ron isn't well liked and hasn't been since the Detroit brawl. I doubt he wins another one in his career. Now 1st or 2nd team is another story...
Danny Granger looked intimidated last night. He was rushing his shots and clearly frustrated by Ron Ron hounding him all night. One of those shots Granger made was actually scored on Fisher during a switch. The only gripe I have are the slow starts. I think we missed our first 8 or 9 shot attempts to start the game off? Kobe played well last night despite the low field goal %. His jumper is really off right now, but he was getting quality looks all night long. Plus he got to the line 15 times. If Bynum had his hands ready for those two over the shoulder passes Kobe would have racked up 8 assists on the night. Classy move by TJ Ford at the end to dribble out the clock and keep his team under 99 points so the Laker fans could enjoy another night of free tacos.
