8-1

The face says it all in this picture. Lakers pull out another (106-109) win against the Chicago Bulls. Which I believe should have been an easy win but the Bulls stayed in the game thanks to their rookie guard Derrick Rose. But Rose couldn't do it alone. He had Backcourt mate Ben Gordon alongside with him that kept the Bulls in the game. But again, their Bigs were almost a non-factor.


I know this post is a day late but whatever. Pau Gasol came out BLAZING with 22 points in the first half and ending with 34 points and 6 rebounds. That man could not miss! Kobe added 21 points and 6 assists. And Lamar, man...that man filled up the box again with 10pts, 8rebs, 5ast, 3stls, AND 3blks... fouled out in the fourth. But even though Lakers did well, the thing was Bulls were right there with us every step of the way led by Rose who had 25 points and 9 assists by the end of the night. So once again it was the guards that hurt us the most.
Though the Lakers came out with another win, I myself was not impressed. We gave up 109 points(when their avaerage is less than 100) and let them shoot 43%. Bulls won the rebounds(+5) and their bench scored nearly 40 points compared to our bench who had 29 points. What happend to holding teams to 86pts at 37% shooting? I mean yeah we won but comming off a terrible game against Detroit with 3 days rest? C'mon dood! We need to tighten our shit up!
Up Next is Shaq's Pheonix Suns who seem to be doing pretty good. Added Matt Barnes and moved Grant Hill to be the 6th man making their bench that much more better. We'll see though. Should be another good game tonight.
