We played in Minnesota once before against the
Timberwolves, didn't we? And playing we lost by
one point? Well, last eve the same thing took
place...even in overtime we played hard and
tied often, but lo and behold - right at the
game's ending - we lost by one point once more.
They played well and it was such a fun game
to watch. Also, fans from the Lakers original state
of being, gave our Kobe Bryant a love shown
and an ovation of sheer joy seeing him play.
The score for their win once before was:
112-111 and this time it was: 123-122.
Sorry about that lads, but yes, it happened.
Kobe has passed Michael Jordan on the
NBA's career scoring list at Target Center last
season & Wolves public address announcer
Rod Johnson introduced Kobe as being
"One of the greatest players of all time".
Kobe met with Bob Williams before the
game saying he was a pioneer. Bob was
the first black player with the Lakers
back in 1955-57. He now is age 84.
In Detroit against the Pistons was also
a loss for us. Julius Randle and D'Angelo
Russell have quite a great deal to say
about playing and even mouthed a
few comments about being on the bench.
Losses on this very long road trip have
not been fun to see but we are hopeful
always and we line up now to go & play
against the San Antonio team on Friday.
That will be enjoyable seeing our rookies
and our Kobe launch their prowess
against Duncan (also another long time
player) and we'll shout our lungs out for
the Lakers as we tend to always do.
See you Friday then?
BABS WELLS
