A mini missive today. Homecourt, Kobe Bryant suited up, rested and ready to play. Last minutes of the game and free throws missed, shots missed, a foul called and guess what? Lakers lost to Portland 91-88. Ought not to have happened surely, but there it is in our face and we are trying to say we are ready to begin playing in the play off's? Hmmm..we sort of wonder about this but guess it was just an off night of sorts and we will be getting back up on the saddle to ride once again Tuesday at home against Sacramento and back to back game with Clippers on Wednesday. We can only hope. Babs Wells
