Just because this Blog doesn't acknowledge it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. The Lakers did have a game last night, against the Utah Jazz. For the second game in a row, the Lakers were able to take advantage of a tired team in the second leg of a back to back.
The Lakers beat the Jazz 119 to 109 and improved their record to 2-1.
However, as I sadly currently reside in Golden State Warriors territory, instead of Laker land, I am unable to give you a detailed perspective on the game- as I couldn't watch it. It sounds like another good game all around, illustrated by 6 players in double figures for the Lakers.
Other News:
Happily the Kobe trade rumours have some steam, possibly because of the Lakers strong play of late. Does Kobe believe this team could be a contender? Is he content to stay in Los Angeles? Or is this just the calm before the storm? Who knows. I personally doubt two games could change Kobe's mind after all he complained about, but its a start, and if the Lakers keep playing this well #24 may want to stick around for a while.
Lamar Odom practiced with the team today, and is getting closer to a return. I almost forgot, when watching the Lakers in their last few games, that they were without their second best player. Lamar will definitely be a welcome addition to the team when he returns, hopefully as soon as Friday.
The Lakers next game is tomorrow, at home to the surprisingly hot starting 3-0 New Orleans Hornets. Should be a good one, if you're in the Los Angeles area tune in to FSN-W at 7:30pm.
