Little surprised that Mr. T-Wolve hasn't chimed in here lately, especially after the drubbing his boys laid on the Spurs in San Antonio. The pups now have the second best record in the league behind the steamrolling Kings (who are kicking my Lakers ass as we speak)...
Unbelievable that the Lakers lost another superstar - Kobe. Malone, Shaq, Kobe... all out of commission for a good period of time. The scrubs had fought galiantly, and come up with W's in the last three games, but we're getting a bit of a reality check in Sacto tonight. Things just going from bad to worse.
With the signing of Payton and Malone, most Laker fans speculated that we could easily withstand a major injury, or even two, to our key guys since we had such an impressive quartet of Hall of Famers. Don't think anyone possibly imagined how bad it would wind up turning out this year. Tough to watch one after another go down. At this point, Shaq's just being a big wuss, since he was medically cleared to play several days ago, but still refuses to suit up. Damned baby...
Dallas continues to fizzle, while some of the East's teams are finally starting to come alive - Nets, Pacers, Pistons...
Patty and I went to the Lakers game against the Hawks, where we won by 47 points - maintaining a 30+ point lead throughout the entire game. Amazing display of ineptitude and patheticness (I know, not a word) by the Hawks. They looked like a high school team. But what's totally bizarre, is that after we demolished the crap out of them with only Payton and the scrubs, the Hawks turned around and kicked the crap out of the Spurs in the following game. Go figure. Weird place, this NBA is...
