This team drives me nuts sometimes...

Well we are playing the Hornets...

Well.. we did lose to some mediocre teams, we are playing a team over .500 plus they got Chris Paul being guarded by Fisher... Just let me be happy and amazed damn it with this simple adjustment in the lineup

The starting lineup got back to normal, the Lakers put up a much better effort, and yes, the Hornets are not one of the top teams.

Lets just celebrate a win. A pretty well balanced win to say the least.

There's actually a guy in the NBA named Pondexter?

I think we can safely take Gasol and Bryant out of the game now.

why is pau in the game?

PHil: "Lamar!!! God damn it..." haha

Why, Matt?

Barnes. Just stop.

Caracter sighting!

He must be somehow related to Cappie Pondexter, WNBA player. Right?

Yeah WTF? Why is Pau still in? Why not give Joe Smith a burn???

I'm gonna have a beer if we break a 100 tonight.

Well bust out the MGD! When was the last time we scored 100+?

Enjoy.

Convincing win sure is nice to have some rebounding back. Kobe looked decent just the turnovers were a little far out tonight for him.

GG though~ On to Philly!

Against Toronto. That was on the 19th.

Lot of smiles on that bench.

Those saying "it's just the Hornets," need to realize that when a team is in a funk, a win like this can help the team's psyche and can help build confidence moving forward.

Great game by LO, and it was great to see Bynum back in the starting lineup.

production from everyone tonight. impressed with drew in particular
Looked like a game from the beginning of the season

Bynum with 18 points makes me happy...

team's success is in its bigs...

not the perimeter.

I also don't care if "it's just the hornets!" Bear in mind folks, we lost to more mediocre teams and we've had problems against teams above .500. Chris Paul was dancing all around against Fisher and Blake. This was a great win and all it took was for the lineup to go back to normal. A great confidence booster for everyone, including us fans.
