    Man, gotta say, LMA plays so differently now. He grabbed that board towards the end of the 2nd over like three or four Rockets and go the foul. That's amazing. He never would have done that in the past. I really gotta think that playing with Camby has rubbed off on him.

    LaMonster looks even better when he has rest. Only about 15 mins for him in the first half. Dante playing decent and Joel being back gives LA that much needed break.

    We gotta give some props to Batum. He is playing hurt and playing very well, despite his bum ankle.

    Yeah, he's no Karl Malone, but does seem a little bit bigger. It's paying dividends on his low post presence (rebounding and scoring).

    It doesn't look like he's favoring his leg much (if at all) are you sure he's still feeling any effects from that turned ankle the other night?

    He's running so gingerly. It's pretty evident.

    I saw him limp after he made a simple lay in where he barely jumped. And he seems to be running kinda funny, but maybe I am imagining things- not sure.

    I'm watching the end of the Celtics/Spurs game and I think the Celtics announcers are going to have simultaneous aneurysms.
