If our shots were falling versus the Lakers the game would have been competitive but for some reason they just wouldn't go down, Barbs, Stat and J Rich had terrible offensive stats but perhaps that is due to fatigue?
I'm glad that somebody saw what I saw too.

We worked out good shots against the Lakers unlike our losses to the Spurs in the playoff. Admitted, the way Kobe was having a field day with our defense, we might still have lost it even Amare, JRich, and LB hit the easy shots that day. As for Amare, I maintain that he is trying to adjust to his new body after the injury. He's improved his footwork and patience aspect of the one-on-one attack. He rarely forces the issue and shots. He just need to finetune his touches for those close-range shots after bumps with the size of Bynum. And he will adjust soon as long as the team and Nash is willing to let him learn from failure. Not worried.
