i think they told him to just get the rebounds, don't worry about the rest. lol

The Lakers seem a bit confused on both ends of the court so far. I'm not sure if it's just a lapse in concentration, or if the Lakers are not prepared for what Dallas is doing on offense and defense.

Regardless, it's only a 3 point deficit despite the struggles so far, which means the Lakers can easily take control of this game. It's just frustrating to watch them allow Dallas to stay ahead.

Left the room for a bit, came back and read the comments while the game was on commercial, thought we had fallen behind by 10 or so from the comments, turns out it was a 3 point game. That'll teach me to always check the score before panicking.

shannon there was 10 seconds on the clock.. not 1

He hasn't shot enough to make that decision yet. He's missed 2...Kobe 5 and Odom 3. Bynum needs a few more touches before we write him off...

That was a beautiful block from Barnes. Bench is still kind of stinking so far.

oh jeez shannon is stupid. needs to stop taking those shots.

put kobe back in the game, shannon is pathetic.........and Lakers playing half-azz defense

Pau to Bynum is a beautiful thing.

Great passing from Pau.

Just got your wish!

When Drew gets the ball, he scores. When Drew gets the ball, he scores. When Drew...

That's how the Lakers will win this game, run the offense and get Bynum involved

Pau looks completely different with a finesse big guarding him doesn't he?

Which leads to great finishing by Drew.

High low passing has been superb so far....keep going through the bigs

Can we do that more often? It didn't look too difficult. Dump the ball into Bynum/Pau and let them work.

To say that he's not playing well? He wasn't. And not because of the number of shots. He went up soft twice.

Gasol got him an easy bucket and he's rolling now.

Come on, Lakers. Get a lead by halftime.

For the record, I hate Shannon.

Phil should play Brown more in this game.
