Kobe's hit all his jumpers so far, so he looks to be okay. Horace Grant is playing today also....i'm curious to see how much fox will play tonite...
Looks like a Kobe 30+ game...Slava could get a double-double. The Lakers are finally coming back to life...

Looks like the old Kareem Rush is back...geez man, hit some shots EDIT: my bad, didn't realize he hit two treys...I missed the end of the 1st quarter becasue I had to make an errand...
Medvedenko is also shooting the ball well. 6/9 12 pts. What I don't like is Gary Payton with just 2 points. He needs to get himself more involved in the game.
its halftime,Deshawn Stevenson is a really special player after seeing him 2 games in a row. vs the clippers and lakers. Kobes shot looks good too i say jazz win this one by 4
43-38 Lakers Half time...Jazz are doin a good job of getting second opportunities and pushing the ball. Stevenson has a few transition dunks...but they aren't playing half court very well. Medvedenko has 14pts and 8 rbs at half...Kobe 13 pts, 4 assist Kobe seems to be favoring his shoulder a bit, he's using his left hand under the basket a lot, and at the end of the half, he shot a three-quarters court shot with his left... No fox sighting so far...

I know you already mentioned his shoulder, but he's hitting outside shots pretty well. We'll see in the second half if he can keep a consistent rhythm going. Gary Payton though, 2/5 4 pts. Unacceptable. Let's hope he can turn it up in the second half.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_Fever_834:</div><div class="quote_post">Kobe hurt again? </div> we'll, he made one out of two freethrows...he's still in the game, (well he's actually getting a breather)... Jazz making a run...69-62 Lakers at the end of three... Lakers were up by 19 at one point, but JAzz close with 12-2 run...

I absolutely don't like this run the Jazz are making. They should stop all this stupid nonsense and win this game.
84-75 Lakers 5:00 left in the 4th Medvedenko: 12/18 26 pts Bryant: 6/13 20 pts Payton 6/11 14 pts Guys, looks like this game is under control.
Payton with a big three....lakers up 6 with about 12 seconds left update: Jazz miss a three, and a put back, kobe fouled, made 1 of 2, lakers up 7 with 6 seconds left.... As chick would say, the game is in the refridgerator... Fox didn't play tonite, but lakers snap their 9 game road losing streak.
They didn't play their best game of the year, but the Lakers will avoid setting a new team record losing streak. Props to Medved, GP & Kobe.
