WOW WOW WEE WA! We shot 57% from the field and 58% from the FT line. We seriously need to improve our FT shooting.
Kobe made another great block. I love blocks. Big blocks are pretty usual for him. The best one was when he rejected AI and Iverson started to whine and stuff. It was pathetic imo. It still was a clean block or not ?!
I was looking through Laker boxscores and I noticed the team does well when Mo Evans has a strong performance. He seems to be the X-Factor for our team and it makes sense, because he has to step up filling in for Kobe off the bench. Last night the Lakers were +33 with Kobe on the sidelines. I don't expect the bench to do this everynight, but last night they carried this team to victory. I couldn't understand why Dwayne Casey continued to leave KG on the bench and watched a 12 point lead disappear with his team unable to score. At some point doesn't it register to put your best player back in the game? This win makes up for the loss in Chicago. I'm looking for a split in the next two games against New Jersey and XMas day against the Heat.
Mo Evans, from what I have seen, is a great player on this team. He usually makes the smart play, i.e., chooses easy passes over hard ones, doesn't take take the contested shots, uses an extra dribble or two to get rid of the defense. He should get more playing time.
