Thanks Purple N Gold for the excellent feedback, Isn't it odd to see Los Angeles score 122 points? They haven't scored that much since....the last time these two teams played back in Washington November 26th. Kobe Bryant once again gets the game ball. A triple double. Very impressive. And yes, even though the 30 point streak is over, he did enough to get us the W, and that's all that matters. Shaq, I believe had a much better and bigger role in this one. 13/17 with 29 pts. That's the numbers we should always be used to seeing, not only 10 field goal attemps against the Kings two nights ago. Payton once again took only 10 shots for 48 minutes, when will he get his act together? Kareem Rush: 6/9 14 pts. His shot is falling, and he seems to be knocking shots down with a ton of confidence. 6-1 since the break, I'm still upset over that Sacramento loss, but so far so good as we try to repeat this same performance at Atlanta.
I predicted the Lakers would win by 12, and that they did. 122-110. How was the defense, particularly Rick Fox?
The Wizards played with real heart until the last 7, then the lack of the game arrived...Stack is done for the season, and probably as a Wizard.

We have great 1 on 1 defenders but as a team it's disgusting. I didn't really key in on Fox, since the backcourt was doing the job so well for the Wizards, and Kwame Brown tore Slava up in the post early in the game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Martin:</div><div class="quote_post">Lakers will dominate this game,Arenas will have a 25+ point game but it ain't enough against the Lakers,I predict LA will lead by 24 at most but end up winning by 12.</div> You got a magic crystal ball man? Yeah Lakers won by 12... 122-110... the biggest lead was actually 18... but 24 was close and Arenas finished with 35 pts... nice forecast... what's the weather for tomorrow?
Missed the game. Seems Kobe my man did great... did he have some of those nasty turnovers? Ya know.. where he charges in the lane and swings his arms wildly as someone strips the ball from him. Edit: Looked at the stats... beautiful stats Kobe had for us tonight, but.... Kobe - 14 rebounds. Shaq - 2 rebounds. What the -filtered-? Explain this somebody..............
