Kobe Bryant scored in single digits for the first time in over a year. Okay. So what? Well, hell froze over tonight because not only did Kobe finish the game 22.5 points under his season average, but he did it with the biggest smile I've ever seen KB24 don.
I couldn't help but smile myself. I just witnessed a team on the brink of falling to mediocrity just one week ago, make the trade of the year, gain confidence from the sentiment, then preform well following the deal. What more could I ask for?
Oh yeah. Andrew Bynum in 4-5 weeks.
Now, I hate to gloat, and I'd like to think that I keep it fairly unbiased over here at VHP, but is it too much for me to say that I'm honestly happy right now? I know I sound like a tool, but coming home from a pretty crappy day at school, this game MADE ME HAPPY.
It might just be Pau magnifying the situation, but the Lakers appear to on the right track... and Kobe's attitude is the most telling indicator.
Kobe interrupted KCAL 9's interview with Pau to say "si me gusta!" ...It's definitely not a stretch to say that Kobe is giddy. Giddy = good.
Lakers 105, Nets 90 | Don't let me downplay D-Fish's performance tonight. Fisher lit up the Nets, posting 28 points, 16 over his average. Vlad Rad scored 16 and Lamar chimed in with 14 and 15. Kobe's six points came on the dislocation of his pinky finger, and reported numbness early on. On the other sode of the ball, Vince Carter dropped 27, while Bostjan Nachbar posted 24 and 10.

Because I had to | Kwame made his Memphis debut tonight, posting four points and three turnovers in 15:47 in a 97-102 loss. J-Critt chimed in with five points in just under eight minutes. Because I really had to | Kwame on practice in Memphis: "It was pretty good, different, a lot of running, we run a lot more than we did in L.A."
