		<description>It was a trap game as Kobe admitted.  For some odd reason, the first game after a long road trip always is a bit lackluster.

This one, really, was poorly played all across the board, and even Pau made some gaffes that he doesn&#039;t usually makes (Kobe is always a mixed bag, and as usual, still ends up a positive for us).

What made this more ugly was that OKC actually played well - I went to their blogs and they had close to 0 gripes (other than Kristic ;) ) about their teams&#039; performance.   Officiating, on the other hand... ;)

Me, I&#039;m awful glad that we escaped with no injury to Kobe.   I do think that he&#039;ll be hurting and uncomfortable, but it surely doesn&#039;t look like it&#039;s in any way serious.

Oh yeah, and the W.  Our record is 23-4 now?  Pretty darn amazing considering that we didn&#039;t have Pau for the first part of the season.  Or maybe it&#039;s the 1-loss record after Pau&#039;s return that&#039;s amazing...</description>

		<description>I was half way expecting a loss before tip off.  We didn&#039;t play well but I&#039;m still happy with the victory.  Oklahoma played out of their minds and we still managed to pull it out.  That&#039;s what great teams do.</description>

		<description>Artest has been a great addition, but I&#039;ve never seen an otherwise physically gifted NBA player who has so little leaping ability.

He&#039;s got as much lift as a dead hippo in a wheelchair carrying Oprah on its back.</description>

		<description>Judging by the right side of what the camera picked up during Derek Fisher&#039;s interview during the post game show...Shannon Brown gives Serena Williams a run for her money in the derriere department...(seriously, I&#039;m traumatized right now...how did the camera guy not realize he was filming a completely naked Shannon Brown off to the left?)</description>

		<description>Last year we were complaining about the Lakers losing games they should have won - so far this year they have been taking care of business even if it was ugly.  A tougher test coming up on Christmas.

One concern is that we have to see more out of the bench. Maybe Luke coming back will help - but right now we seem to have a six man team.</description>

		<description>this should make the lakers awake and kicking by christmas time.  

i really feel bad for portland right now.  hope they turn it around even without oden on their team.  now the only team perhaps with enough length to challenge us can&#039;t even field a notable center to start.  

which makes the andre miller situation more interesting. 

go lakers!</description>
