Did he look like his hand was hurting?

You guys know Marion is a sf and only played pf for a little while with coach Mike D because they went small right?

Good win. Now these next 4 or so are all winable

I have a hunch we're going to get all Miami has on Sunday.

Nice win. Losing another tight game would have had its effects.

They wanted it more tonight especially after losing a gimme last night. The refs helped us in limiting Howard's minutes tonight. Orlando is one dangerous team; so many good shooters out there.

The defense still worries me much ! There was zero defense in the 1st quarter, Pau got lucky that Howard got in foul trouble, actually he did a great job in atack and forced DH12 to draw some fouls and sit on the bench. I'm surprised by how Kobe was playing. Unstoppable at times ! With his injury ?!

On the other hand, very nice and lucky victory !

4 - 2 on the road and 3 more games we can win.
Miami - win 70%
Bobcats - win 75%
TWolves - 95%

Man, is Kobe the toughest player in the league. The dude is leading the team in rebounding ever since Bynum went down and made some solid playus time after time.

As a fan there are games when you watch Kobe and have a gut feeling that you aren't losing this game come what may. MVP caliber performance tonight by the great man and where are the people that say Gasol is soft?

30/9 on Dwight b%tch3s and held him to 19 pts and low rebounding numbers. Flop or not he was awesome today, man what a fine player!

Odom's Block against Lewis at the end of the game remebered me the on of Michael Cooper against the Celtics in the finals 87. Completley different situations but similar.
