didn't do anything other than finding the open man, keeping teammates engaged, and building their confidence. oh and burying a dagger 3 when it was the right play. yea.

Wow he was playing facilitator all night, usually people are bashing him for not passing the ball and trusting his teammates he did that all game and people still aren't satisfied.

Kobe Bryant single-handedly revived Pau Gasol. Bryant assisted on almost all of Gasol's points. Baskets and Free throws. Got him involved early and often. Set the table for Sessions, Blake and Artest. It was too bad Sessions sucked out loud. Bryant could have had 16 assists if Sessions hit his jumpers.

Finally Brown make one good thing.....he put blake in because he is better shooter than Sessions and that was great.....he make one good decision.....thank GOD......

7:30 a.m. here in Italy, going to bed now with a big grin painted on my face...
Thanks Lakers, you've made my day!!!

And now i expect Pau to put his A** in the paint vs OKC

Good night guys

I'm ecstatic for the win. But I'm concerned the way the game was called by the refs. I hate to be one of those conspiracy nuts, but that sure was suspicious. Usually the bad calls eventually even things out. That wasn't the case tonight. I hope things don't go that way next series.

But Afflalo had a better game.

let these people talk . don t care he was this time more a facilitator because of that hard double team everytime he had the ball . on that 3 he was single covered so he took advantage and hit that big 3. i am very pleased about steve blake he was big tonight. gasol was absolz a force but also bynum was big and mwp brought the energy back which i missed in game 5 and 6 . with this kinda effort we have a good chance to beat okc even the fact that the thunder are better as a team then denver. so it will be very tough on monday . i think this is a big chance to steal one game because okc could be a little rusty . they haven t played for over a week then. it will be interesting to see mwp vs harden and the reaction from the crowd . i say they will booo him all the time and players from okc will try to force some fouls on him and flop a little against him to get some calls. any ways it will be very tough to win but i have confidence that they could do it if they bring that kind of effort and intensity on monday. but also i have to say sessions has to play much better then he did in that denver series. but we will see

Argentina here! Laker World Wide Nation

8 in the morning in spain now. I won't even go to sleep now. Having coffee and waiting to the Grizzlies game. Crush the Clippers make the day complete.

Miss the days where i didn't sleep to watch the Lakers, smoking and chilling. Well, this is cool too.

The 27-7 Nuggets run really scared me; I thought the Lakers from Game 6 had returned and were ready to just mail in the season and try again next year. Thankfully the Lakers managed to retake and hold the lead for the rest of the game, but that was a very frightening moment in a series that never should have gone 7 games to begin with.

Now it's on to a much more talented Thunder team. I only hope the Lakers find a way to stay motivated and not have long stretches like the 27-7 run in this game, or they will once again find themselves heading home early in the playoffs.
