LAKERS 100 BLAZERS 86
Our Los Angeles Lakers are now the number one seed in the NBA. At 27-5, the Lakers own the best record throughout the league. Thanks to Boston and Cleveland for losing, and thanks to Portland for our W. Our 6th straight win since our Florida "hiccup." Our 15th straight win at home.
“It’s obviously important to have homecourt advantage, so we look at it as a challenge to achieve that goal,” Bryant said. “Obviously we have a long way to go. It’s a great opportunity. We have quite a few home games here, so we look forward to trying to stretch this out a little bit. We have plenty more gears to go to. Plenty more. I haven’t even played in third gear yet.”
The Mamba hasn't played in third gear yet, but has been playing out of his mind! I can't wait
until he hits the clutch and shifts during the playoffs. He had another great night with 26 points off of 11-19 shooting, 2 rebs and 3 assists.
“They came out with the momentum in the third quarter and took over the game,” LaMarcus Aldridge said. “A lot of guys had open shots. We just didn’t make them. Kobe kind of took over and did what he does.”
Pau Gasol had another efficient night on 7 of 9 shooting for 19 points, 5 rebs, 2 assists and a steal. He was also 5 of 6 from the stripe. Luke Walton was out of the line-up with an injured foot, Trevor Ariza took his place. Ariza didn't make a field goal but added to his stat line from every aspect. 4 pts, 5 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and many deflections which led to steals. Sasha had a great night with 11 big points, shooting 50% beyond the arc. Radmanovic took advantage of getting playing time today and scored 16 big points off the bench. What's great about Vlad off the bench is that when he is called on, he's not afraid to step up and knock down shots. Keep them coming Vlad. This Greg Oden (10pts, 4rebs), Andrew Bynum (4pts, 10rebs) matchup isn't so exciting, they pretty much cancel each other out. Let's hope Drew can elevate his game especially against the more veteran bigs in the league, we need him ready June.
Next up are the New Orleans Hornets. I do think Chris Paul is an excellent player, and could be the best point guard in the league. I just don't think they have the rest of the tools to really compete. Peja Stojacavic is back and is apparently healthy, lets see if that makes a difference. Let's look for the Lakers to give them deja vu from a couple weeks ago with a big win, because honestly, despite the New Orleans being 2nd place in the west, I think the Hornets are OVERRATED.
