I'm a bit concerned that he and Ron got all the rebounds though and Andrew had less than a handful (I think 3?). I'd like to see Andrew get more aggressive on both offensive and defensive boards. Kobe shouldn't have more rebounds than our big center does... At the same time, it worked out, we won decisively, and Ron got to show off what he brings to the team and what his contributions will be for the rest of the season. I remain hopeful that he'll make a difference in the end. Agreed on Lamar, he played great.

I'll wait to see if my credit card gets charged, then I will stop that payment, but I have spoken with my lawyer about this because "in principle" i feel this is just wrong. we are looking at a small claims court case, and I will not go quietly, I'll share it with this blog, and others, and I am also looking at the BBB, and the FTC. next, I'll call the FBI...I WANT JUSTICE!! regarding the game, man didn't LO have a great game last night?? seemed like he was everywhere, long arms grabbing boards, timely shots going down, great assists! like to see him stay at this level! hi Mimsy (you’re not the last Mimsy are you?);)

Online feeds are hard to guarantee... Have you tried their <a href="http://leaguepasssupport.nba.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=7801" rel="nofollow">Live Chat</a> support? They claim that puts you in touch with a real person. Back to the game: No mention of Ron's shoulder anywhere in the post-game coverage, so I'm going to assume it's fine. Good. We really got good things from him last night and as the season goes on that will hopefully continue and improve. @chris h,

Right now its at 3 per game, totalling 9 steals from 2 games (Dallas game he had zero). I will continue to monitor this particular stat for my own use. Until Pau comes back, continue to expect a volume shooter Kobe. I've seen all 3 games so far (thanks to a Laker-biased national broadcast sked in the Philippines) and I hope to see all 82 even if I have to call in sick (from my own office) half the time.

Joe Johnson is one of the top guards in the NBA and Artest shut him down. He didn't make him work for his points... he didn't slow him down... Ron eliminated an all star SG from the game after Joe scored 18 points on Kobe in the first quarter. That doesn't happen very often in the NBA. Artest will go on to score many more points and grab tons of steals as he gets more and more comfortable with the offense but you won't see a better defensive effort from him the entire season.

"He picked up the energy level defensively, and I told him the game was on him. I felt like the energy really changed the whole complexity of the game, and we all kind of rallied behind him." “We picked up our intensity, and it all started with No. 37,” Bryant said of Artest. “He picked up the energy level defensively, and I told him the game was on him.

I think it was more match ups tonight that led to Brown sitting. But that's why Phil said that soon the guys not performing will see their minutes cut. And he wasn't talking about Brown (who he said he felt bad about). sT, Phil said that in response to a question about having a 5 guard rotation and trying to find minutes.
