Free throw shooting should be worked on the courts at their houses. I know they must have built courts there, right?

The Lakers need overtime to beat Atlanta :shakehead: , a team that would have a hard time winning the Pac-10!

A win is a win. :sweat:

Warriors win 110-103 over Bucks...
Lakers, Clips, and Warriors have the top three positions in the Pacific at 3-1, although it is very early, i'd say that is a good start so far. :bonk:

Hello! Lakers didn't beat Hawks in overtime! It was 26-29 (1Q) 22-22 (2Q) 31-18 (3Q) and 24-28 (4Q). Plus, "With 7:54 to play, Bryant scored on a breakaway jam, drawing a foul from Hawks rookie Marvin Williams , to give him 37 points. With the Lakers' lead at 12 points, Bryant sat out most of the final seven minutes. " Come on!

Kobe with 37 points, he's scored over 30 in all four games so far...., nothing unusual, something he has to do, since he has to take up the slack. :bonk:

As long as they keep winning, that's fine.


Tougher game tonight against the T-Wolves... Can they control/stop Kevin Garnett??

Smush Parker looks pretty good so far, but Kwame and Odom are still no shows, so far. :sweat:

Wow, it's certainly a different Pacific Division so far. The Warriors are 3-1?? The Kings are 1-3?? Am I in Bizarro World? :nut:

included, as no-shows are Mihm. He had a good game against Denver at home, but he's been very inconsistant, they desperately need him to show up every night. :bonk:

Is it premature to ask the season to end today? The W's would be in the playoffs then... :hehe:

If I recall, the Times has the Kings below the Lakers (#10) in the West...

Lakers get stuffed, 88-74, in Minnesota. :shakehead:

They scores a pathetic 10 points in the 3rd quarter.


Chris Mihm: 2 points.
Smush Parker: 0 points.
Kobe: 28 points.

Guh. :bleh:

2nd game on back-to-back nights, they just ran out of gas :bleh:

well, i am not surprised with Mihm's performance, but smush with 0pts? shut down.....
Kobe 28, carrying the load, this sounds like last year all over again, except now with Phil Jackson.

Yup.

How can both of those two guys go from around 40 points together in one game, then 2 point together in the next?

Agonizing.

that's what seperates the men from the boys, the great from the average players, they are just average players, the way they have been playing....it all says with their numbers. :shakehead:
