Lakers win! Yes! It's about time we get one on the road, what a perfect time for Kobe to comeback, and he looked great tonight. Who needs Shaq? We have Slava! J/K, but he played his best game of the year tonight, when we needed it most, posting 26 points and grabbing 12 boards. And great job by GP tonight, he hit some key shots down the stretch for the Lakers, as he finished with 22. And let's not forget about Rush, he hit some shots that the LA really needed tonight. Glad the Lake Show could pick up the win tonight to end their 9 game road losing streak. We'll have Shaq back very soon, and then Malone right up after him.
Kobe played a gutsy game tonite, I just hope he didn't aggrevate his shoulder. He took 9 shots in the first quarter, but only 6 the last three quarters. He said after the game that his shoulder got progressively sorer through the game but the next game is wednesday I believe so there is a lot of time to heal. His presence alone made a big difference in the lakers win tonite...
Proud of the Jazz. They played so hard. I expected them to lose by more than 7 with Kobe playing. Slava has a good game Clutch 3 by Payton
I actually got to go to this game, and the Jazz played hard until the end. At one point they were down by 17, but managed to get back within 4. No Harpring or AK-47, and they put up an amazing fight.
Yes, very good win for the Lakers as they end their road losing streak. Kobe Bryant had a decent game since returning from his shoulder injury, and yes I was getting worried when he'd hold his shoulder going up and down the floor, and still, that shoulder looked very limb and numb...but as long as #8 is on that floor and hitting outside shots, that's all that matters to me right now. Kobe said that he was out there to provide leadership, and he also wanted to end that streak. I admire that guy. What an athlete. Hopefully Shaq will return by Wednesday and Malone too, and before you know it, we should be up and going again with a full squad.
