Comments on: Morning Bell – 2.03.2009 http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/2009/02/03/morning-bell-2032009/ Unbiased opinions from extremely biased people Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:30:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: WildYams http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/2009/02/03/morning-bell-2032009/comment-page-1/#comment-2739 WildYams Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:08:14 +0000 http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/?p=1740#comment-2739 Kobe clearly had the Lakers all out of sync as evidenced by the double-digit lead LA had most of the night and the way they were up 18 or so late in the 4th quarter. Also, Kobe's insanely high shot total of THIRTY-ONE(!!!) led to the rest of his teammates doing practically nothing (see Pau Gasol's meager 31 point, 14 rebound effort). If Kobe hadn't been shooting so well, maybe the Lakers could have scored upwards of 140 points last night, instead of only getting 126. What an asshole. By the way, I'm still not buying the Spurs as a viable contender, and it comes down to how much they've fallen off defensively from where they were even a year ago. Sure, last year against the Lakers Manu was hurt, but this year if the Spurs can't defend the way they used to, do you really see them outscoring LA with the roster they have? Even if TP, Duncan and Manu go off for 30 a game each, that's still only 90 points. If they can't stop LA from scoring 110 on them, they're done.

Only an 11 point lead? The worst part of the article was:

“…after the Lakers entered halftime with only an 11-point lead.”

Only an 11 point lead?

Everyone should check CNNSI out though. That paragraph was written last night in an article on there. I guess my comment got moderated because I quoted an article. Lesson learned.

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:30:18 +0000 http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/?p=1740#comment-2730 Paul Forrester on CNNSI has written that this article this morning. Here's a paragraph from his article... With news of Andrew Bynum's two-to-three-month absence (due to a torn ligament in his right knee) still ringing in the Lakers' ears, Bryant hatched a new gameplan that is all too familiar, calling his own number to the exclusion of his 11 teammates. Though breathtaking in his offensive dominance, Bryant offered a mere three assists while ignoring open teammates all evening long. Paul Forrester on CNNSI has written that this article this morning.
