1/9/04 update: Lakers blow out Hawks by 40+ points

Boy, after 4 losses in which the Lakers were listless and did nothing, they came out with a vengeance, starting out 14-0 in 1st quarter, with Slava going 5-5....

27 point lead after the 1st quarter grew to over 50 by the 3rd quarter..........

The Hawks have got to be the worst team in the NBA, b/c they made the Lakers look like they were a great team, esp. without Shaq and Karl

great game to watch if you're a Lakers fan, though, as Slava had career highs in points and rebounds

Kobe also had 26, tying Slava for highs in the game

Lakers now 22-11........next up, Cleveland

Kobe meets The Chosen One, Monday at Staples Center

YAY!! It's about time they win. I didn't think they could do it without Shaq. As for the Hawks, I definitely have to agree with you. They are the worst team in the league. They do have some talent but are not using it at all. Some serious changes have to be made there!

1/12/04 update: Lakers beat Lebron and the Cavs by 10

wow!! Kobe is out after the 1st quarter (taking with him 10 points) due to slightly separated shoulder, injured as he pumpfaked a Cavs player while taking a three-pointer, and the player went crashing into Kobe's shoulder.

Kobe made his 3 free throws, then left for rest of the game.

without Shaq, Karl, and Kobe, Lakers still managed to pull out this game; mainly b/c the Cavs can't execute their plays during the last 5 minutes of the ballgame

Lebron had a tepid game, scoring 16 points on 20 shots with 5 boards and 7 assists

This game was shown on TNT, and every time they spotlighted Lebron (which as a lot!), he was always biting his fingers. It was horrible to watch. They show him for 1-2 minutes, and all the while, he's biting his fingers.....now, it's ok in the 1st-2nd quarter

but you figure, by the 4th quarter, TNT would stop showing Lebron sitting on the bench, biting his nails!!!

Lakers played a good game against a bad team, and with 3 starters out , need to win as many games as possible in order to remain in the playoff hunt.

One good thing about this game: Lakers rookie Brian Cook (out until just 2 weeks ago with a broken wrist) really plays well!! He had 13 points on 6 shots, with 7 rebounds....and hit 3 of 4 free throws down the stretch, with a steal. Nice going! Phil is starting to use him even more than he uses Luke Walton (also a nice looking player who passes a bit too much when he should be taking a few more shots)

Devean George played a really good game, with 12 points and 12 boards

Payton had a HORRIFIC game, with 13 points on 22 shots

wowowowow, I can't believe the Lakers still managed to win!!

1/14/04 update: Lakers destroy Denver, 97-71

Without Kobe, Shaq, or Karl,

and a starting lineup of Horace Grant, Slava, Devean, Gary Payton, and Derrick Fisher,

the Denver Nuggets must have figured all they needed to do was show up and they would automatically win.

well well well!!

Denver showed up, alright....but that's about it. Poor shooting, bad blocking out, bad rebounding, poor defense.

Lakers wanted it more, and it showed.

Slava came up big yet again, with 22 points, 9 boards
Payton had 21 and 6 dimes
and the rest of the Lakers all chipped in, including NBDL Udeke, who score 4 points in garbage time

wow...was really surprise at how flat the Nuggets were.

5'4" Earl Boykins killed them last meeting, with 26 points; today, he scored 6, all of them in late 3rd quarter and 4th, well after the game was decided.
Carmelo had 14 points on 17 shots -- now, that is TREMENDOUS Lakers defense!!

now, we go up to Arco Arena to play the Kings

Shaq may or may not play.....if he doesn't, we are going to get torched!

but that's ok, as long as we play good defense, good rebounding, and slow the game down!
