When we played the Washington
Wizards, we lost it. Score: 98-92.
When we played the Chicago Bulls
we won and it was nice to win.
Now we played the N.Y. Knicks and
evidently tired legs must have become
part of our problems on this road trip.
At least, we will be getting a bit of
a reprieve now not playing again
until Wednesday. We will then be
playing in Milwaukee. Seeing our
former Lakers player, Derek Fisher
again was nice. He is coach of
the Knickerbockrs. Even had a
glimpse of Phil Jackson too,
he is right there in NY with the
team as well only in a different
capacity and no longer coaching.
Our boys tried and even were able
for awhile to straddle the scores
but it was evidently not meant to be.
In Madison Square Garden on Sunday,
we watched Derek Fisher face his
former team. This is his first season
as coach. The final score for Sunday's
game was: 92-80. Nick Young had a
sprained ankle so was on sidelines
and did not play. Therefore without him or
Kobe, the Lakers had no one to produce
offensively. The most egregious offenders
included reserve forward Carlos Boozer,
(19 points on 6-of-15 shooting) and Wayne
Ellington (7 points on 2-of-12 shooting) and
Jordan Clarkson (19 points on 6-of-13
shooting). The Lakers starting lineup
recorded one assist from Clarkson, while
Jeremy Lin posted seven assists albeit
with only 4 points on a 1-of-3 clip.
Jordan Hill played just over 7 minutes
of the game before straining what he
believed to be his right hip flexor. He
soon walked gingerly to the locker
room and will learn more today about
his injury when team doctors evaluate
him. So we will have to wait that one
out to see how it goes. Our team has
injuries, granted, but our efforts
are genuine and honest. Lakers
road trip continues. Cheer them on!
