We Have lost the last three games. Sad but true.
Our Kobe seems worn out and has missed
shots which is not like him at all. Nick Young
did play after all ,this last game as earlier
it was up in the air whether or not he may
get penalized. Playing against OKC in the last
few seconds we lost by only one point.
Kobe missed a 17 foot jumper right before
the buzzer.The Lakers did honor Bryant before
the game for passing MIchael Jordan
and moving into third place on the NBA'S
career scoring list during this recent road trip.
He was also joined by his wife and two daughters
on the court. Now we note that the Lakers
have lost 14 of 18 games to the Thunder.
Playing games on the road proved to not
be working all that well for our team.
Beating Minnesota Timber wolves was
fun, of course, but now this last game against
Sacramento Kings, we held our own during
the first half plus tied at times besides yet in
the last part of that game. We seemed to
have fallen apart. Coach Byron Scott is considering
resting Kobe for a game or two. The 17,317
fans that came to watch this last game at
Sleep Train Arena did see some glimpses of
our Star, Kobe's greatness, such as canning
shots from 22 and 30 feet. He did air ball one
shot however. Another time he was called for
traveling. After facing a double team, Bryant attempted
a fade away jumper behind the basket. He threw
a jump pass to Lakers forward Jordan Hill, that
landed on his ankles. Bryant also committed
an offensive foul on Kings center DeMarcus
Cousins as the Lakers trailed 101-95 with
2:30 left to play. Nick Young has this to say,
"Kobe still goes out there every night to give
his best and we need him out there. He knows it.
But we do not want him to kill himself so that
really is why I am out there too". Our next game will
be against the Warriors on Tuesday evening.
The Lakers will make their 16th. consecutive
Christmas Day T.V. appearance next Thursday
when they face the Bulls and former Laker
player Pau Gasol. Greetings fans!
