<u>On Brown </u><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Brown update: Center Kwame Brown did some light shooting Thursday but won’t have his severely sprained left ankle re-evaluated for another two weeks. The ankle recently swelled up again on Brown, who suffered the injury Dec. 31. ``It’s so boring,’’ Brown said. ``I miss you guys. I’m bored all day, every day. Anything beats laying on the training table.’’</div><u>On Bryant </u><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bryant, who suffered the injury in the second quarter Wednesday, will be limited if he does play. He underwent treatment and said his groin was no worse from the night before, though Lakers coach Phil Jackson was cautious. ``I don’t think we can call it right now,’’ Jackson said. ``I expect he’s going to play, but I don’t know what we can expect out of him. ``(Wednesday) night, I just didn’t think he could run. He just couldn’t run full-out. He couldn’t do the things that he normally does. He couldn’t get elevation on his shot. He was shooting an arm shot.’’ Bryant made just 6 of 18 shots against the Rockets and was hindered by the injury in the 17:40 he played in the second half. ``It hurts to accelerate, to get to the basket, trying to shift gears and change direction, things like that,’’ Bryant said. ``You kind of have to pick your spots a little bit and feel it out.’’</div>On last night's loss <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Horror film: Even though the Lakers won the second quarter 24-23 against Houston, Jackson wanted his players to relive it on tape Thursday. It was the little things in that quarter, Jackson believed, that led to the Lakers’ downfall in the third quarter. He went over the spacing on offense, the lack of ball movement, even the final play of the half when Bryant couldn’t get off a shot in the last 22.6 seconds. That cost the Lakers a chance at going into halftime with a lead.</div>http://www.insidesocal.com/lakers/2007/01/...4.html#comments

We just flat out sucked in the 3rd quarter. In the entire game we left guys wide open for jumpers and threes on way too many occasions. We weren't closing out on guys like we should and it was like we couldn't make a shot.

It was the 3rd against Memphis as well we just couldnt score its funny because we always had a good shooting start then in the 2nd half we couldnt make any shots...
