THUNDER AND SPURS

At Chesapeake Energy Arena, OKC took on

the NBA Lakers team. Even after resting and

with their best foot forward, it took its toll all the

same. It has been a lost cause stewing about

the Lakers non-existent defense. The Lakers

will not be making the playoff's for only the

5th time in franchise history. Oklahoma

City won Thursdays game with a score of:

131-102 plus we now have learned that

both Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash will not

be playing for the entire rest of the season.

Nick Young is still in rehab. so unsure

just when he might be able to return.

On Friday (back to back games) Lakers

took on San Antonio in their hometown.

Jodie Meeks and Pau Gasol did their

best on the courts, but the win for the 

Spurs was immediate right from the start.

They won with score of:119-85. Pretty

bad no matter how one might look at it.

L.A. was shooting only 17% from the field

just 2 minutes into the second quarter.

Seems now we are supposed to be taking

them on once again this very next Wednesday

at Staples Center. Oh boy! We of course do

wish them well but we do with faint hearts.

How this all plays out remains to be seen

under the coaching of Mike D'Antoni. Will

it get any better or will they now see perhaps

it was a big mistake in hiring him to coach?

We then merely continue to fight during

this lost season and fight with passion.

That is the job each and every player must

take upon their shoulders so we'll see what

can perhaps take place on Wednesday.

As always we, the fans, do wish them well.
