Dallas finally wins in LA. Well, I guess it had to happen eventually. I thought we would show more fight than we did, especially at home. Payton got tossed early, kobes shot was not falling, shaq didnt get enough touches and he cannot hit a free throw if his life depended on it and we didnt play any defense. We deserved to get that loss. Nobody showed up when we needed them to. I think we will give portland a better fight tonight.

Well this streak was meant to be snapped one way or the other and Dallas just killed us last night in embarrassing fashion 110-93. I was very disgusted with Gary Payton. Gary of all people should understand that Steve Javie would not put up with the childish nonsense, and Gary should've controlled his temper. Sometimes things will not go your way, so live with it. In my opinion, Gary should've been ejected, and to me his absence cost us this game. I absolutely do not know where Kobe's mind was. I know he scored 15 pts, but mostly it came from the free throw line. Just throwing up bricks all night long. Even guys like Derek Fisher, who I rely on for those great Laker comebacks just threw up bricks, and even free throws he couldn't even hit. It was like their bodies were taken over by viruses. The Dallas perimeter game just killed us last night, I felt they could've done a better job by guarding that perimeter, but NO they just let Dallas run their type of game, and they succeeded in doing so. Antoine Walker, the same guy I got on made me shut my freakin' mouth. 23 pts. Outstanding. And also Josh Howard. Played a spectacular game in Finley's absence. Another stat I want to point out in the game.....Nelson fouled Shaq with 3:00 to go left in the ballgame, and what does Shaq do? He goes 3/10 from the line. If Shaq made about 8 of his Ft's, who knows what could've happened. They better get their act together tonight at Portland, or else it will get ugly.

No production from the back court, with Kobe going 4-18 and Fisher 0-9!
