Great Game , great team effort , Jordan and Andrew were  ... Farmar always took the right decision when he ran the fastbreak , whether it was to pass or attack the rim ... when I got more times , I will post why Lamar has to come as a 6th man

[BIG SB]

If we keep playing like this you gotta bring lamar back as the 6th man.

That's a joke... we'll only get better with Lamar in the starting line-up.

Looks like Phil Jackson is puttin his foot down around the front office...

This recent situation with Bryant has been unbelievably messy. But it has worked. Jackson has gained power over the entire Lakers organization. Owner’s son Jim Buss, the “loose cannon” head of the team’s basketball operations, is now dutifully submissive, to the point that Jackson now feels safe complimenting him and soothing his bruised ego with press quotes stating that Jim Buss is an important part of the decision-making process.

Phil Jackson shoulda' been put his foot down... His main flaw is that he's too passive and feels like he has less control than he really does. That resume alone gives him the right to run up in there and shout "FUCK ALL YOU MUTHAFUCKAZ!".

Today (11/6) vs. the Hornet...

- Chris Mihm starting in place of an injured Kwame.
- Mo Evans also out with a back injury.

Losing that weight was one of Kobe's smartest decisions ever. He's so much quicker and more active on defense. He looks like he did in 2003. Possible defensive player of the year candidate? 

Not to be a whiner, but the refs need to check Chander. Dude is jumping all over Bynum's back and sticking his foot out while setting picks.

good first half comeback....

[GangstaBoogy]

Good game Chris Paul, can't wait to see you tear your acl.

And the Hornets won't be so good when Stojakovic gets deported.

[Teddy Roosevelt]

Apparently the Lakers forgot what defense is.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Don't get too upset...No Kwame makes a big difference, especially on D...And people seem to forget we have a 2nd option missing out there, too. The game was competitive, I'm not mad...PeACe

[GangstaBoogy]

^ they still could've won. Phil should've given Radmanovic more playing time to make up for the points we gave up to Stojakovic

[Vegasmac25]

Our defense was terrible tonight.When the heck did Kwame get hurt anyways?

[wcsoldier]

Why a such poor defense effort ... honestly how the fuck you can let so much space to a shooter as Peja ... his 10 out of 13 even isn't impressive ... he was able to take these shots like it was a shootaround ..  let's believe it's an accident but once again to become a great team , you have to win games against average opponents ....  it's obvious we weren't focused as we were against the Suns or Jazz ..

Ronny Turiaf = most improved player and 2nd team all defense.
