POST GAME REVIEW.

L.A. vs DENVER
Okay, okay, okay. So I guess this win wasn't too hard to take away from the Nuggets. It was again the Lakers' team defense that did the job holding the Nuggets to 90 points in this 104-90 victory.
Lakers jumped at them in the first half with their defense and awesome ball movement leading by 20 before the beginning of the third quarter. Though for some reason we seem to let go of leads at times, we still won by 14. Kobe at times seemed like he couldn't miss and ended with 29pts in 30mins on 66.7% shooting, without playing in the fourth quarter. His level awesome is unparalleled! As I predicted, Bynum put up his share with 13pts, 13rebs, and 5asts. 5 assists man, 5 assists! Pau did make up for it tonight(After his game against Pheonix) with points(12), but slacked a bit in some of the other areas. Mr. VladRad (AKA The Wolfman), after putting up 5-6 three pointers the night before only put up 3 points and 1 block. Fisher still seems to be struggling out there, but no worries. When the time comes to show, Fish will show!
Now our bench(The Minute-Men as Phil calls them) did their job and contributed 40 points to our scoreboard. But this time it was Trevor Ariza who filled the box score with 11pts, 7rebs, 4ast, 3stls, and led the Lakers in minutes(32mins). But his stats don't stop there. Because of his defense(With help from Vladrad) held Nugget's star player Carmelo Anthony to 5-19 shooting. Denver's defense almost non-existant. But Billups and Smith had a combined 33pts and 11ast. which CP3 did to us alone so I guess they weren't that much trouble for us. Aside from the clumsiness the Lakers played at certain times in the second half and the stupid passes from Sasha, the Lakers played great.
In the words of Andrew Bynum(In the Post-game locker interview) "Instead of being 10-1, we should be 10-0"... *crickets*... No you idiot we should be 11-0! But let us remember that Bynum is still a young boy so we'll void his last comment. Yet the young man is right. We should be undefeated. But it's cool, we'll just have to make it 11-1 next game.

UP NEXT is wack ass Sacramento Kings. Kevin Martin is out so shouldn't be a hard game. But you never know what could happen.
