Kobe Bryant and the Lakers Can Stop Panicking
The Los Angeles Lakers
of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, et al, won a game. After
eight preseason losses that did not matter much but three regular season
defeats, concern set in with this team that had been projected by many
to be a championship contender.
Then the Detroit Pistons came to town and proved to be an elixir.
After their worst start to a season in 34 years, the Lakers finally,
occasionally resembled the powerhouse most expected to see this season —
even without Nash, who missed his second game with a small fracture in
his leg. Los Angeles took a 28-point lead in the first half and
stretched it to 36 points in the third quarter before winning 108-79.
“We had to stop the bleeding, and there wasn’t a way to do it other
than . . . getting a solid win,” forward Pau Gasol, who scored 14
points, said. “We’ve got a little bit of tension out of ourselves right
now.”
Howard was a force inside with 28 points. Bryant had 15, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Metta World Peach contributed 18 points.
“We needed this bad, just to change the mood and give us some of that
feel-good feeling,” said reserve guard Steve Blake, who started in
Nash’s place. “Losing games was tough. I guess we did a good job of
staying positive, but it feels good, that’s for sure.” Read the full story here.

Kobe Bryant Misses Out On Pre-Playoff Games

LA Lakers Dominate The Court 3-0 Without Kobe Bryant
NBA star, Kobe Bryant missed the Los Angeles Lakers' final game before the All-Star break with a sore left ankle. Bryant originally sprained his ankle on Jan. 29 in Philadelphia and aggravated it last week. However, the Los Angeles Lakers continued to thrive in the absence of Kobe Bryant, beating the Utah Jazz 96-81 on Wednesday. Lamar Odom had 25 points and 11 rebounds while Pau Gasol put up 22 points and 19 boards as the Lakers improved to 3-0 since Bryant was sidelined with an ankle injury. The Lakers' strong play without Kobe Bryant probably only reinforces the notion in many voters' minds that the NBA's most valuable player is LeBron James.
It does make sense that if the Lakers can play on without Kobe Bryant, especially being 3 - 0, that maybe Kobe 'ball hog' Bryant isn't as valuable as he'd like to think! Just a thought. You can watch video highlights of Kobe Bryant in the related video section below.
