Sorry about all the short recaps guys, been busy :( Good win for the Lakeshow fresh off the break though!

Kobe :D -Masked Mamba tore it up tonight. Noticeable lift on his shot and he was playing a well balanced game.

Bynum 8-) -Looked more mobile and spry out there on some of his dunks and putting the ball on the floor in general. Was a deterrent on D all night long, Pekovic (who has been beasting lately) struggled against Drew.

Gasol :) -Started slow, picked up his play late. Took advantage of the mismatch he had against the smaller defenders on multiple occasions.

Fisher :o -Threw some really stupid passes but did hit his jumpers.

Metta :o -Was active to start the game. His D was up and down against Beasely. Not a bad showing from WP.

Barnes 8-) -Got every offensive board it seemed but missed a lot of putback attempts. Still nice energy though.

Blake :) -Was hitting the outside shot and doing a nice job of setting up the offense.

Murphy 8-) -Was active on the glass and was nailing the perimeter jumpers.

Goudelock :o :-? -Highlight of the night was his crossover into the floater. Missed everything else though.

Kapono :P -Made a jumper in garbage time.

Luke :P -Also made a jumper in garbage time.

Ebanks :o -Is it me or does he seem a little chubbier/bigger? He was trying to force some things. No rhythm though.

McRoberts :P -Active on the glass in his garbage time.

MWP has had a string of good games in a row now. I don't want to jinx anything for the future but the dude is playing well.

I'll check that cat Saltine later....I read his BS, I'll swoop in commando style right on their board and tap that ass on his home court !

bynum's mobility made me o.O. That injection helped him a lot... How amazing could him have been if not for the freak injuries(people falling on his legs)?

He would be a superstar. Seriously. He would be challenging D12 for the best center of the league and I believe he would be better because he's more skilled...

btw, as I always say, when the opposing PG doesn't have a mid range game we do amazingly well because bynum can show soft off the PnR as he always does and still defend the PG on the paint, contesting some of the fading away shots with his long arms..

Too bad he doesn't move like that every night or maybe you could make a case.

Jetset that's the point. Because of his injuries most have a jaded view towards whatever good he brings. The only thing that stands out is his injuries.

I personally don't think he's ever had, or will ever have, the mindset needed to be someone like Dwight, especially confidence/work ethic wise. Dwight doesn't forearm JJ Barea.
