Surprise, surprise, surprise! All throughout most of the first 3 quarters our Laker team piddled around and it sure looked pretty grim for any way to win.With Andrew Bynum out in injury, Lamar Odom moved into the starting lineup to take Pau Gasol's place and Pau then moved from power forward to center to replace Bynum. We have Odom suffering with a sore left shoulder but it has not kept him from playing games or from playing in practice. Kobe Bryant needed two points in Wednesday's game against the Spurs to pass Alex English to move into 12th. place on NBA's all time scoring list. He did so and Kobe's career total is now 25,636 points.During the first half of San Antonio Wednesday game we actually did get ahead by 10 points but it did not remain so and we fell sorely behind. With a 6 game winning streak it looked like we would lose this one but in the 4th quarter, ginseng must have kicked in so with 3 pointers helping us out, we actually won 92-83. Still on the road we must muster our strengths now for upcoming Oklahoma City, Houston and New Orleans games to play.More surprises? We shall see! Babs Wells
