So many cheers at Staples Center when we
played vs. Minnesota. The Timberwolves
were good, but gratefully we did win the game.
Jack Nicholson cheered the most I do believe.
Did you get to see Pau grinning and waving
his long arms down with Nick Young? Fun to see.
The score was: 104-91. Xavier Henry was a player
to contend with too and even with the point guards
injuries, our Lakers team did their job well. In fact,
Henry shot 8-for-19 and had four assists in 42
minutes. With Steve Nash battling issues with
his nerves in his back, Steve Blake nursing his
injured elbow, Jordan Farmar still unsure about
his hamstring and Kobe Bryant now curbing
his endeavors with the fracture right above his
left knee, Pau, bothered with upper respiratory
problems, did still hit the courts to play the game.
Not quite so lucky for the following game how-
ever, playing in Oakland against Golden State.
For the first half of the game it was looking
pretty good and seemed that even with the
newcomer on the floor, Kendall Marshall,
Coach D'Antoni kept the faith. Chris Kaman
helped a whole lot but even with Pau ill and
absent from the roster, it became pretty grim.
The Lakers really cannot fault their own effort.
Their fortunes could change as early as Monday
when they visit the Phoenix Suns. With such
a depleted cast, it will have to take a great deal
of effort and unity to pull another win. The
Oakland game was one that had us at an
all time low score, which was: 102-83.
Not to go off blubbering in your cola yet though,
we just might be able to do better in Arizona.
