The Lakers bounced back from their loss the other night against the Pacers and took a win tonight against the Philadelphia Sixers. Instead of letting go of a lead, the Lakers built a 19 point cushion to push through the rest of the game winning by 12. Kobe(was playing like a monster!) led the Lakers with 32pts on 12 for 20 shooting, 6rebs, 4asts, and 2stls. Pau got the double-double with 22pts, 13rebs and also added 3blks(isn't that your job Andrew?). Bynum put up 18pts but only managed to catch 3rebs and gave the Lakers 5 turnovers. As a matter of fact, the Lakers Big Three(Kobe, Pau, and Drew) were responsible for 12 turnovers out of the Lakers 16.It was all guards in the Sixers side of the story, with Andre Miller leading them with 26pts, 8rebs, and 5asts. Iguodala had 19pts, 5rebs, and 5asts. Even their backup shooting guard Lou Williams was able to get 15 points. Elton Brand held down to 3 points on 1 for 3 shooting(I guess the Lakers Forwards were too long for him). Our Lakers bench was outscored tonight 26 - 24. And I thought their bench needed some work.
The Turmoil continues against Phil Jackson and Andrew Bynum. After hearing P.J. talk about his(Andrew) lack of rebounding, Drew for the second night criticized Phil for not utilizing his minutes correctly. And after everything Phil answered “He’s a kid. He doesn’t know any better.” But I don't see this as a big thing. It's just a difference of opinion. Up next we got he injury prone Washington Wizards along with our former Laker Caron Butler.
