The Lakers played this game like it was 1 game out of 82 while the Jazz talked all week about how this week would prove they could play with good teams. I saw all I needed to see when LA dumped it inside and scored layup after layup at will in the 2nd quarter. I would love to see Utah in the playoffs for the third straight year.
      Actually, all I heard postgame from Jazz players - namely Deron and Brewer - was that this game didn't mean squat, but rather they'll think they can play with good teams when/if they start winning games on the road.

      But nice try. It sounded good on the first read.

        Or when they start beating terrible teams at home.

          Lakers looked ok in Chicago tonight. Enough to win on the road. Kobinator had another 40 point game. Looked good. Does anyone remember back in the threepeat when he wore that crazy gauzed-up glove for a stretch? After he got used to it, he went on this crazy scoring tear. Maybe the finger splint will have a similar effect.

          Nice to see Shannon Brown have a solid game in his hometown, as well.

          I wonder if Artest self-medicated at half-time, just for old times sake?

          Tomorrow, a back-to-back against Milwaukee. In fact, they have another set of back-to-back games after tomorrow, too. This is a weird 5-game road trip.

          On a side note, it seems that Ron Artest is looking to score some autographed Tiger merch

          Artest also called Woods "the perfect role model for me and my sons for longer than anyone I have known."

            Milwaukee has been surprisingly decent thus far with Jennings developing into quite a player and with Bogut having a great year when he's healthy and playing. Still, this is a game the Lakers should be able to "phone in" and win similarly to last night. Gasol has been a rebounding slut as of late, eh? 20, 20, and 16 over his last three. Only 8 FGs against the Bulls...I'd like to see them pound these Eastern Conference teams inside between Pow and Drew instead of Kobe going off, but a W is still a W whichever way work is gettin' done.

              Artest wants to be a sober Laker

              http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...,6304039.story

              The Lakers forward was asked by a reporter before Tuesday's game whether he stopped by the liquor store that he frequented before games while with the Bulls.

              "Not in this environment," he said, after defending his character..."This is a basketball environment."
              So how was his relationship with the triangle offense?

              "It's great. I take it on dates and everything," he said. "Fine wine. A lot of romance. A lot of kissing up. Trying to get used to her and hopefully she'll give me her number. I love the triangle."
              Kobe will strangle Artest

              http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...,2429440.story

              "It was important to come out and for me to have a good game," Bryant said. "I didn't want people thinking that because I have a broken finger, we were weakened or something like that, because that's not the case."
              Lakers bench is helpful

                    Yeah and this Milwaukee color guy sounds like he can't get the ink to flow in pen. I finally muted it and am just watching.

                      Ugh. That's ball game. The Bucks got a bunch of breaks at the end. But you make your own luck and that's what the Lakers get for not putting them away.

                        Haha, man I wish I could play back this color guy's commentary. After that block they called on Bogut I un-muted it and man am I glad I did. The color commentary guy was screaming "That's 100% absolutely the wrong call!" Then he went off on a rant about Kobe getting all the calls. I love how these teams get up for the Lakers.

                            Wait, what happened? I was watching online when it froze. Yahoo says 107-106 LA. Is that correct? Looks like Kobe hit a game winner?

                              Yeah. Lakers got a stop with 5 seconds left. Ball went into Kobe. He backed down Bell and then hit a turn around 17 footer as the clock expired.
