Much like the “when will Cleveland get some help for Drew Gooden” question has been nagging the Cavaliers all year, “when will Kobe step aside for Luke Walton” has been an ongoing drama in Los Angeles for years.
Well, last night it finally happened, as #8 took eighteen shots to Luke’s nineteen. If you subtract one from the other, you get one, which is how many games the Lakers are up on the Suns now.
This is pleasing for everyone, confusing for some, but it’s hard to argue with the results.
“Never happened before,” Walton said, grinning. “Not even in practice. It started during the last couple of games of the regular season. We know this is how we have to play to win.”
“This is not about my shots or Kobe’s shots,” Odom said. “It’s about the name across the chest, which says, ‘The Lakers.’ “
Actually Lamar, you’ve maybe been in LA too long, because there’s no “the” before “Lakers” on your jersey. We’ll withhold the complete judgement just in the case you have “The Lakers” literally tattooed across your the chest.
A the Suns win on the Sunday brings everything back to the even in the universe, but for now the Lakers are totally in the charge, as evidenced by the unbelievable faces the Steve Nash has been making. If you only followed this series via the pictures, you’d think he was the greasiest, strangest little the person the you’d ever seen.
Luckily, we’ve been watching on the TV, so we know he’s only the second greasiest, squarely behind the Caron Butler.

I am glad that The the Cavaliers tightened up their play against the a Wizardses.
Is it weird to hear Bill Walton say ‘Luke Walton did this’ or what? He even said his son fouled a guy last night…come on man! I want some blatant homerism!
Yeah I think it’d be a lot more entertaining if he called the game as “Dad” instead of “Bill Walton”.
This Luke Walton thing is my worst nightmare realized.
i think kobe lost his focus in the games because the new report got out who were to be mvp kobe wanted to prove to the world it should be him it backfire on him in game 5 6 7 . it was not about the lakers it was about his feeling that the sport world cheated him. so he took it out on r bell because on bell good defence then kobe come on t.v. interview i don’t know the kid but assume he was not huge enough as a child. he need to watch his intreview and see dumb he sound ; so inmature that”s why he could be a leader on the basketball team .great basketball player. i am 47 year old female i been watching sport since i were 16 year old big sport fan of all sports. kobe is a person i would never want to meet.
