With losses on the road being 1-6 now
since last evenings heavy loss with
Orlando, we hung our heads going back
into the locker room and knew that our
offense needs to be worked on far more.
Orlando beat us 92-80 and even though
our attempts to make baskets seemed
tough, we head back home again to play
Indiana at Staples on Sunday. We have
a two day reprieve before playing the
Clippers (Also at Staples) on Wednesday.
Andrew Bynum made only 10 points last night
with 12 rebounds. A far cry from Dwight Howard's
21 points and 23 rebounds for the Orlando
team. For the record, the Lakers have not
been 1-6 away from home since they were
1-8 in 2002-03. The trouble seemed to be
almost from the start when coach Brown
began to substitute for his starters.
The Lakers offense stalled with the second
unit on the floor in the second quarter.
Troy Murphy made a 3 pointer. Meta World
Peace (AKA Ron Artest), was benched for
the second half. Kobe and Jason Kapono
both hit 3 pointers midway through the
fourth quarter, but it only seemed more
like a tease, when the Lakers fizzled out.
On a happier note, Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton has named a former Laker,
Kareem Abdul-Jaabbar, as a global cultural
Ambassador. And so we go forward, and hopefully
upward, as we look for tomorrow's game to
give us all a much needed win.
