I'm watching this game live. TO by Cavs. Smush with 10 points already, a couple of fastbreak lay-ups and a couple of threes. Kobe also shot a couple of deep 2's. Kwame went up strong and dunked the ball! Theres a first for everything!
Crazy shot by LeBron at the end of the quarter, even though it was bad shot selection but Kobe answered. The Lakers are shooting well, Lamar hit a deep 3. Kwame also had another dunk! Luke Walton seems to snapping at the ball when he goes to rebound it, he needs to be a bit more smooth and get in better positions with slightly later timing when going up for the rebound. We're up by over 10.
YEAH Kobe at the buzzer! He's playing great in the 1st half and Smush Parker is just killing it. Lakers lead 63-49 heading into halftime. The Lakers MUST come out tough in the 3rd quarter to build on the lead and not let the Cavs back in this game. Glad to see Devean George back on the court.
Kobe's having a hell of a game so far. 10-15 including an incredible buzzer beater to end the second half. Wow. His games back, this is the game he needed. 24 points in th first half. Bynum has 4, Kwame has 5, Smush has 13, and Lamar has 13, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.
Kobe is feeling it. Smush did a great job setting the tone and the Lakers are shooting 63%. I am glad to see Odoms confidence when shooting the ball. I am also glad to see Devean George. Hopefully hell get a few buckets to fall in. Lakers Rule!

And he is on his way...
Kobe with the buzzer beating 3. What a shot. He's also got 5 assists! Bryants shooting his best fg% at the end of the first half for the whole season at 61%. Lamar with 13/4/7 shooting 5-6. We're missing Mihm, Big Z is 7-10 so far with 18 points. Normally we outrebound every team we play, but they have 3 extra boards at the break. Another note is we have 22 assists already, we average 20 assists in a whole game usually! I like what I'm seeing! Hopefully we can finish this stong, to cap it off, Memphis should beat the Jazz and hopefully, our future power forward, Kevin Garnett can add misery to the Kings!
Hopefully the luck of the irish runs out and the Boston Celtics tommorow and we can steal one and end this short road trip on a positive note.

Kobe has every right to be pissed off tonight, he has been mugged at least 5 times tonight. He should have more than 17 free throw attempts tonight, but they aren't calling anything for him, they haven't the past 4 or 5 games. He has every right to complain to them, he was just hit again on a jumper, this is bull sh.t.
David Stern and these refs suck. <font color="blue">I wish I could leave the statement, because I feel the same way, but it's against guidelines. K8B</font>
Why the hell would they inbound the ball to Kobe near the half court line? Kobe was being mugged repeatedly tonight, the commentators were talking about how he had every right to complain. We got screwed out of a win by the refs tonight, if they would've made calls when they should have, we would have won. Plain and simple. On our possession when Lamar went strong to the hoop with 7.1 left, LeBron couldn't defend him. LeBron was hanging on by Lamar's arm, and then Big Z collided with Lamar. There was no call there. On the opposite end of the floor, Kobe goes for a steal, gets all ball, and they call a foul? C'mon now, these refs need to straighten things up because it's getting disgusting how bad they're screwing Kobe and the Lakers. Nobody should think the Cavs played a good game, if it wasn't for the refs, L.A. would have won by 15+.
Kobe is going to beat someones ass in the lockeroom that's for sure. I think it's Walton. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">id these refs have a meeting or something. Unbelievable! 2 straight games</div> If you're talking about the last second shots. Well the one against the Nets Carter defended Kobe perfectly. The shot just a couple minutes ago, I didn't see any contact just a lot of crowding that's all. I could be wrong I would have to see it again, but I know for sure the defensive job Carter did on Kobe was excellent.
SOB Refs. I Can't Believe Them, Does Kobe Need To Get Stabbed On The Court For Them To Give A Foul? They Then Have The Cheek To Give Him A Technical. Somebody Needs To Address This Issue. Its Sucks Balls Big Time. God Damn It, The Refs Screwed Us. What Kind Of Play Was That At The End Anyway? Plain Bs. Cuban And Stern Have The Refs In Their Pockets. EDIT: FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T TYPE ALL THIS OUT IN CAPS WHEN I POST THIS.
God Damnit, We Got Robbed Again. These Losses Are Going To Add Up And Games Like This May Be Why We May Not Make The Playoffs. What A Freakin Joke
Timeout? TIMEOUT? What, the refs can't give a man a timeout, Kobe calls timeout, they don't give it to him? What the heck? He was mauled SO many times, NO CALLS? This league is corrupt, "you're a superstar, you can handle it, lets call a foul on Kobe even though it was a CLEAN STRIP!"
