Brand and Cassell are their go-to guys, I think. Maybe even Mobley. Lakes only have Kobe.

well, the clips have been really struggling, i guess so have the Lakers, clips may have more guys to give the ball too, but Kobe is definintely more athletic, really, it's a toss up, on who's going to win at staples tonight.

Kobe drops in 50 points at Staples and wins against the Clips, 112-109.
amazing shooting, amazing.

Yeah, but he took 41 freaking shots and only made 17.

And he nearly shot them out of the game near the end, since the other players were just standing and watching...

One thing is to be hot, but if don't get your teammates involved, you're not going to win too many games....

very true...
but i am more disappointed with the clippers lack of execution down the stretch, they really are struggling...they had a chance to win it, but failed yet again.

Hmmm......that's true. But we can't blame him because aside from Odom, I think he don't trust the rest of the team anymore ......and also the fact that he's not a point guard . I believe it's a point guard's responsibility to make plays and get his teammates involved .

They did have a 13-point lead late in the third, but folded... Yet the Lakes still almost gave the game back to them...

glad that Lakers won today...can't remember was it Smush who stole the ball and he could have drive out all the remaining time but he didn't >.< but props to him for stealing the ball and at the end it was close!

Yeah, it was Smush... He shoulda ran out the clock. Luckily for him it didn't cost the Lakes the game.

Since I've been beating him up all year, just wanted to mention Kwame Brown had a halfway decent game(finally!) 10 points, 10 rebounds.

That makes it two/three good games out of 33.

didn't even notice what kwame did in that game, i guess cause of Kobe's torrid scorching shooting in the 3rd and 4th.

Carter lift the Nets by hitting a fadeaway 3 pointer as the time expired to beat the Raptors 105-104 and went on to take a 10 game winning streak . Carter was being booed throughout the game and because of that, he said that it was his greatest shot ever (some sort of a sweet revenge I think ). Carter said "That's definitely number one. The atmosphere, the emotion, the hostility in the arena, it was a fun game".

Same here. But I guess he did make a contribution.

Seems like it... Is their team any different than last year?

Lakers, Clips, Warriors, very little differences, in the beginning of the season, i thought so, but now, they are looking like them old losing teams of before....

not sure on the others ones...

Yeah, the trio of Jefferson, Carter and Kidd is the reason why they have improved this year. They didn't just gel well together but also stayed healthy too. Last year, the team was plagued with injury and the trio never played together in that season. They only played together when they entered the playoffs but was swept by the Heat in the first round.

The only addition in their lineup this year was Marc Jackson and Jeff McInnis, but their contribution to the team isn't noticeable .
