Tuesday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans
was really lovely to see for Lakers fans.
Even though Kobe had troubles with his right
Achilles, he felt he had to play. After the pain got
to him he had to give it up for playing after 16
minutes of play. Yes, we did manage to win
this game with score ending: 95-91.
The 18,997 fans cheered and greeted our
Kobe happily. Staples Center was host and
you could hear chants of M-V-P, when he stepped
up to the foul line. Plenty of Lakers fans behind
the basket also took pictures with their cell
phones to document that moment. The buzz
only increased when Lou Williams made 2
consecutive bank shots, while Julius Randle
converted on a lay-up and one of two foul
shots to secure the win.
And, yes, Kobe made another effort for his
fans by suiting up and playing in the Golden
State Warriors game on Thursday night.
He again came out on to the court, but
sorry, it was not quite enough for us to win
this one. We lost with the score of 116-98.
Lakers forward Brandon Bass missed
Thursday's game due to a sore right foot.
An interesting note however is this:
Kobe Bryant has maintained a firm
edge in the NBA All-Star votes and
the third returns released on Thursday
showed he had a league-leading 1,533,432
votes for his 18th and final NBA All-Star
appearance in Toronto on Feb. 14th.
I goofed last blog and said the leaps of
Lou Williams were ever so great to witness.
The player that ought to have been in that
role was Larry Nance, Jr. and I am sorry
about that. We shall hope for yet another
win this coming Saturday when we willl
be playing against the Utah Jazz.
