Lakers-Grizzlies Recap

I'll start by saying that this was the most boring game I've seen out of the Lakers all year.Hands down.Kobe had a big game,but if you watched the game you could tell that he wasn't really exerting
himself like he usually does.I think that my boys are finally hitting their mid season wall.Most of the other teams have already gotten past that point and are now gearing up for a late season push(the Hornets in particular)so it will be interesting to see over the next two months if the Lakers can handle the pressure of having a few teams breathing down their necks.

All that being said,I've got to congratulate Memphis on trying hard the whole game.Say what you will about the Grizzles(I know I spelled that wrong) but them boys have heart. In a few years they are going to be very dangerous,2001-2002 Clippers style.There are literally college teams that have older starting lineups than the Grizzlies.Be warned,we're looking at a future 60 win team here if they all stay together.

Lamar Odom continues to amaze me.He razzles and dazzles and dizzles,yet scores two points.He still managed a near triple double with blocks rebounds and assists though,sitting out the entired fourth quarter with Kobe and Pau while DJ MMMMMMMbenga decided he would terrorize poor Marc Gasol.For a man with no neck,he's showing he's got game lately.Claps to you DJ.Also,does anyone know when Hakim Warrick's contract is up?This man needs to be let loose,I get sad every time i see him glued to the bench on a team that has no hope of reaching the playoffs this year.Let the man PLAY!!

At the end of the the night the Lake show gets a 99-89 win and regains the leagues best record at 49-12 while coming one point short of sending the home crowd home with the coveted taco treasure and the Grizzlies keep one of the worst records at 15-44.Keep your head's up Memphis,at least the boys are trying.
