bynum played extremely well, pau playing well(bynum started)

odom off bench has been effective; kobe shooting btr

defense and rebounding looks btr

only cons are kobe's 6 turnovers but some bs calls compared to the way cp3 carries the ball on every possession

The refs are going to try to turn this game. Right now, the Lakers inside game is totally overwhelming the Hornets.

Fish can't guard CP3 though....does CP3 even know he's there?

Finally a good half by the Lakers. A win is a win, but I want to see an old-fashioned blowout when all is said and done.

Steve Blake's defense is underrated

KB's last TO was crazy. Chris has gotten away with alot so far, yet Kobe can't?

Glad Bynum got the start. We look much better today.

So DA claims Boston woulda won the title if Perkins hadn't gotten hurt.

While i agree with Paul´s carrying i have to say the refs were right in those dumb Kobe TO´s, he has to do a better job in there, those were easy calls for them, too obvious.

First 7-9 minutes of the 2nd quarter have been a beauty, wonderful basketball, always looking for the best offensive option, very gud ball movement, nice.

It wasn't even a carry, I saw nothing illegal about anything he did.

Getting hit with rookie calls: carries, double dribbles.

Famous Game 4 fixer Scott Foster reffing this one.

Thanks for the recap Glad to hear Drew finally started and looks like it didn't bother Odom all that much

I've already seen some BS by the refs. Best to ignore them and just continue to execute and defend. As for Fish, other point guards regularly take him to school. He's all about clutch play during the playoffs. If we maintain this lead, he should be benched for the rest of this game.

Neither did I. Baffling.

starting rasheed was a blessing in disguise for that team

That's how it should be. Drew's our starting center, and LO is what makes our bench so potent, along with the Killer Bees.

Glad to hear that, finally we all can say we would have won the ring with Bynum.

Lakers just need to keep sticking to the "inside-out" formula. Either feed the post, or have Kobe dribble penetrate.

I love when other team's commentators critique our starting 5. Worry about your sorry a** team

I agree. I think they played us tough in Game 7 because Sheed was in instead of Perkins.

They have nothing better to do, especially when their own team sucks.
