That is my honest opinion. 7 games...

great win tonight...lets hope bynum and pau are back and healthy after this 3 day rest....awesome timing b/c we have 2 critical games coming up...PHX and then @Den....if we can win both we'll be back in the championship vibe IMO. let's do this!!

Dallas beat us and I think he's better than...

Where is the connection to my words about Mbenga? Going with your question: i dont know. but i dont really wont to see our current backcourt without Kobe.

This is a thing usually set up by smart GM's. Obviously.....Very Obviously Shannon is the best PG we have. i hope so too...if the lakers can squeeze out a good draft pick from morrison/farmar...

Dont give away leads in a hurry. And with good D that never happens. So DJ, get your minutes and then bring it as an reserve when Pau and Bynum are back. How many games would we have won if Kobe was the player injured and not bynum or pau?

That's about it...which is really good. We need to see him in his third, 4th, and 5th game...

Dallas beat us and I think he's better than Dampier 8.8 ppg 9.7 rpg 2.5 blocks.......and that's on a playoff team. Sadly...
