WAS NOT MEANT TO BE

Lost to the N.Y.Knicks and now have

lost to the Atlanta Hawks, so

our lads still must pass muster in

a far different way in order to win,.

Home court did not seem to even

enter into the fray, apparently.

Wondering just what would become 

a better way to not make loss repeats?

In last nights' game, Carlos Boozer

and Ryan Kelly each scored 13 points.

This happened to be our 23rd. loss

in 28 games. The Lakers entered the
fourth quarter trailing 69-58 with no

players in double-figures scoring.

Final score last night was:91-86.

Reserve swingman Nick Young is

scheduled to have a CT scan done

today on his swollen left knee.

This injury has forced him to miss the

last 10 games. The last win that the

Hawks managed to do against us was

at Staples Center on Feb. 15, 2006.

Something we did notice though, was that

Jabari Brown made 9 points on 4-of-5

shooting in his second NBA game after

starring all season with the Lakers'

Development League affiliate.....

the D-Fenders. Jordan Clarkson

recorded a near triple-double

with 10 points, a career high 8 re-

bounds and 6 assists. His shooting

clip marked the 2nd. consecutive

game he shot below 50 %. It was noted

that Clarkson set up Carlos Boozer for

a jumper that cut the Hawks lead at

one time to 84-80, with 1.03 remaining.

Yes, at  games end, the Hawks secured the

victory and on that note, we are sorry.

Wondering how it might go tonight though

playing the Warriors.(Back to back game).

Saw by the paper that the broadcaster

of sports, Joe McDonnell, age 58, has

died. He got the nick-name of the

"Big Nasty" during his radio sports days.

The cause of death was not mentioned.

Known for his brutally honest coverage, he

will be sorely missed by many. R.I.P. Joe.
