Upon looking at the boxscores, I see we played a pretty good balanced game. But something tells me it was a grind more than a good win… but a win is still a win… and on a road, coming off some shaky performances over the last 20 games, I say it was a nice win to have.

Returning from watching the actual game, that was not what I expected to read. Now, if Aaron was half as good at eating crow as slinging mud, maybe we’d have a chuckle or two.

As some of the other commenters already mentioned, the Lakers showed the kind of team effort both on offense and defense we would expect from a playoff bound team against a determined opponent at home. Shot attempts were balanced. Andrew had another very good game. The team made a good share of three point shots–led by Derek Fisher. A significant win.

Negative bloggers on F, B, and G were very unhappy.

I watched that play twice and I’m pretty sure Kobe was in no man’s land playing free safety–closest player to him was Amundson. When the ball swung to JRich he tried to get back but was way too late.

I don’t see how you can pin this one on Lamar (though Lamar was in outer space for most of this game, so it’s certainly possible).
