Great games, back to back, although LA should have won it Sunday night as well.

Love how LO is playing…a monster game last night, 23pts, 21reb, 5asst, 5blks.

Next Game: Lakers vs. Bobcats Wednesday at 7:30pm.

Lakers have the least number of losses to their conference.  They’re 27-12, 2nd most wins also.  Only New Orleans has more wins (31-14) but everyone else is behind (Houston is 24-14, Dallas is 26-13).  Looks like we’re ready for the playoffs.  Bynum coming back; we just need Ariza back so we have depth but we’re going to rock.  This playoffs is going to be insane.

Tonight’s game will be a challenge.  Utah has only lost 3!!! times at home.  That’s crazy.  Hopefully we’ll make it 4.

Also, I was looking at the all-time winning streaks.  I had almost forgotten about the streaks in 99-00.  We had a 16-game streak between 12/11-1/12 and a 19-game streak between 2/4-3/13.  What a team.

Andrew Bynum might be back before the playoffs after all.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who on Tuesday said Bynum would not be ready to play until the playoffs begin, said Wednesday that the center could return as early as two weeks before the start of the first round, The Los Angeles Times reported.

“I threw that out there [Tuesday] to kind of take everything off the table,” Jackson said, according to The Times. “We’re [now] saying it was three weeks as of [last] Sunday. It would give him a week — four games, three games.”

Bynum has been out since Jan. 13, when he dislocated his left kneecap and bruised a bone landing on a teammate’s foot while going for a rebound. The Lakers haven’t been more specific about his recovery than saying he would be out for at least eight weeks.

But Jackson warned on Wednesday that Bynum will have to get back into game shape, having missed more than two months of playing time.

“The reality is if he comes back and he plays the Sunday game and the Tuesday game before the season’s over [on Wednesday, April 16], great. It’s still not going to get our rotation [settled],” he said, according to The Times. “It’s going to be an exercise in kind of getting him back on the court.”

Jackson also said Pau Gasol, who has been out with a sprained ankle, is on his way back to health.

“He’s come around and he was actually on the court [Wednesday] shooting jumpers a little bit,” Jackson said, according to the report.

In his third year, Bynum is averaging 13.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.06 blocked shots. He was leading the NBA in field-goal percentage (63.6 percent) and was among the best in rebounds and blocks when he got hurt.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

My first entry……….FUCK ALL THE HATERS…….LA   lakers  are going to win it all if and when we get healthy.

Without Pau, Andrew and Ariza…they almost won. Great 3rd quarter…they even came as close as 2 points in the 4th, but the 3 pointers killed the Lakers. 2nd loss in a row and 3rd in 4 games, as LA falls to 2nd place in a very tight western conference.

Kobe Bryant scored 24 points for the Lakers and smothered McGrady on defense, helping hold the Houston star to 11 points on 4-for-16 shooting.

Houston has won 22 in a row…2nd longest in NBA history. You guessed it, Lakers hold the record for most consecutive wins, at 33 in a row! :)

Next game: Tuesday @ Dallas 5:30PM.

They’re dropping like flies in the west.  6-7 since the trade and 3-5 with Shaq on the floor, doesn’t look good for them.  4-6 in their last 10 games pushed them from 1st to 6th.  Playing Utah and Spurs next to games so I’m guessing they’ll drop those too and fall to 7/8.

Wouldn’t it be funny if they didn’t make it?

A great weekend in the NBA…of course the Lakers beating the Mavs was the highlight! :)

Have you looked at the conference record in the west! See below:

Conference Record in the West

The Lakers have a great record…considering these are the teams we will be playing throughout the playoffs until the finals. We have shown that WE CAN BEAT THE BEST IN THE WEST!

Great game, a lot of excitement. Thanks to Kobe taking over in the 4th (scoring 22pts) and OT, the Lakers were able to hold the Mavs and win in OT.

One thing I did not like today was the amount of complaining the Lakers did, seemed like on every play when the call did not go our way they complained. That actually hurt on a some plays as they did not come back to play D fast enough and the Mavs scored. I know it’s frustrating, but you got to play your game.

I couldn’t believe Kobe missed 7-10 free throws, but i think he finished by making 16 straight.

We are still 1st in the west, just a 1/2 game ahead of the Spurs.
