I didn't think he had it in him to score that much and shoot so efficiently. My guess is he still can't create his own offense so much, and that a lot of it was predicated off Brooks' penetration...but either way, the ability to hit those shots is still fantastic.

Kobe was WAY off, no one else could hit a bucket and the Lakers found whining and complaining to the refs more enjoyable than playing basketball. I see no overall trend in the results. Shrug it off and go on to tonight's game. I feel that Friday night’s game was just one of those nights.

I'd be living under a rock if I didn't know that. But I think that mentality helped contribute to the loss. Is it worth it in the long run? Of course. But PJ didn't help the short term effort of trying to win the game by leaving the guys out there to learn a lesson. Long term benefit: yes. Short term: no. #193

Do you remember Ron Artest doing the same things for Houston Last year? Do you also remember Ariza having to feel his way through as well. It's easy to be a bit over reactive because you last memory of Trevor is the post season run when he was 100% comfortable in his role. What you're forgetting is he had to find his way as well. Ron will too. As much as I like Trevor, I feel our ceiling can be higher when Artest does settle in. I really hope Kurt doesn't need to put up another "Chicken Little" post. JeremyLA24,

Sigh. I propose Kurt introduces a Youtube-like system where we can mark certain comments as "downers" or "pessimism to the point of ridiculousness." That way we can read the comments we want to read without getting bogged down. ….It’s been two games….. two …..Jesus, why do I even bother?

But its not going to happen because artest is struggling with fitting in and finding a good offensive rythem on the floor. I was all for the AR4AR swap this summer but now i am having a felling we bit our selves in a**. FARMAR& VUJACIC for ARIZA! please MITCH work your magic!
