Friday's game played at home went very
well for our Laker team. Our
new point guard, Ramon Sessions,
(pronounced RA/MAHN) is a natural.
Not only is he speedy but he is
sharp in noticing where the ball
is going to be and takes full
advantage of it. He came to us
from Cleveland and has already
been tried as a starter in his
fifth game. Jim Buss made a state-
ment saying that he felt our Kobe
Bryant would be "A Laker for Life".
On Friday they did blow a double-
digit lead but still managed to
score and come out with shining
colors. Our victory over the
Portland Trail Blazers was 103-96.
For some reason on Sunday, playing
against Memphis, also on our own
Staples Center court, Kobe did not
begin the game as a starter.
Even with him scoring 18 points,
and Andrew Bynum scoring 30 points,
we took a loss. Memphis had lost
themselves just the day before
to the L.A. Clippers. A pretty
big loss, actually, 101-85.
Yet, for some reason, we seemed
to not pick it up on Sunday.
We missed our first 7 shots.
Kobe attempted just one shot
in the opening nine minutes,
missing a jumper, before hitting
a 3-pointer from the wing for his
first points. Later, he had a
layup for his only other basket
of the half, shooting 2 of 7. Gasol
also struggled, missing his first
four shots in going 2 of 10 at the
break. His brother, Mark, was on
the winning team this time around.
Final score was: Lakers, 96 &
Grizzlies 102. Did you see in the
newspaper that there was a 1-2-3-4
O.T. played this past wk. with Utah
and Atlanta? Mighty interesting,that is!
