LAKERS vs NUGGETS (POST-GAME REPORT)

LAKERS 79 - NUGGETS 90

Total opposite of last night. The Lakers looked fatigued, average, and flat out helpless. The highest scoring team in the league was held to only 79 points against the third seed in the west, the Denver Nuggets.

The Laker bench was held to only 6 points, Kobe took 31 shots, Chris Anderson had 7 blocks tying his career high, and this is the first game we truly miss Andrew Bynum.

Our silver lining was Pau Gasol who continues to be consistest with 18 and 10. Although he did look tired, otherwise he would have been more aggressive against the lower ball IQ opponents. Kobe had 29 forced points, and Lamar had 12 points with 19 rebounds but only connected on 5 of 17 shooting. The Lakers shot under 30% which is surely their season lowest.

Let's try to forget this game and move on to the team we just dismantled the other night, the Pheonix Suns. Shaq is coming off a 45 point season high scoring effort, and I'm almost positive that they will change their technique on playing L.A. this time around.
