God, what a qtr by the Lake Show! 39 pts, 25 assists

Also credit Denver's defense- Gimme all that 6th, 7th, 8th ranked defensive efficency by Denver.

JVG has been telling it like it is about Denver's defensive situation. Like others and I have on this board at times during the season, too :).

Odom, Pau, and Radmanovic were just tremendous

Has anyone ever made his teammates better from the bench like Kobe has? I mean, the moment he sits his team goes on a run. The way he cheers his teammates on, the way he's constantly talking to them and directing them(being a phony, in other words) is such a huge boost. I can't believe the MVP race is even going to be close.

Either you quit baiting, or you're going to receive a warning.

I don't think that was a Flagrant, JR just lost his balance on his way up!

I love the fact Camby could end up leading the Nuggets in minutes played. Also I hope the sportswriters were watching game, so they realize how silly it was to give Camby a DPOY.

Kobe clearly trying to hog his way to a decent looking stat line so that people would check the boxscores and think that he actually had an impact on the game.

PHIL take Kobe out NOW!!

Is Kobe trying to shoot the Nuggets back into the game? :crazy:

He needs to practice his shots after the game!
