And we really gave the Phoenix Suns
something for worry warts during
the first half of the Sunday game.
Sorry we could not seem to keep
up the pace even with our Star
player out on the courts for
as many minutes as was decided by
Coach Byron Scott for our Kobe Bryant.
When the Phoenix coach put
the three playmaking guards
simultaneously out to make a
big show of deployment, even Kobe
became a bit overwhelmed.
With one on the left, one on the
right and one in the middle, there
just simply was no way to cover
them all. Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe,
and Isaiah Thomas caused some
of our Lakers some alarm. The final
minutes of their seventh win in 8 meetings
with our Lakers who then lost their
third straight despite Bryant's return.
Final score was 116-107.
At least Kobe made the statement that
his legs did feel better. Joy certainly
abounded seeing Nick Young hit four
3-pointers and scoring 21 points.
Jeremy Lin added another 19 points.
Before the game, L.A. claimed
center Tarik Black off waivers from
Houston and waived injured guard
Xavier Henry. Black is expected to
be in town Monday for a physical.
Our next game to watch will take
place in Denver when we play the
Nuggets on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.
A former Harlem Globetrotter
has died but no reason or age
was given to us. He was the ex-
Globetrotter, Robert "Showboat"
Hall. He played back in 1948-1955.
He was succeeded by Reece
"Goose" Tatum, as the team's
primary showman. Chief Ex-
utive Harlem Globetrotters, Kurt
Schneider said in a release on
Friday that Hall's dedication
to the team and to his craft
had brought joy to families
around the world and actually
was matched by few people in the
history of the organization.
RIP Robert Hall.
