I know there is the whole pride thing, and Kobe is an overall better player, but maybe Kobe needs to give Odom control of the team, let him be the go-to guy for now, get his confidence up, and thus make him a dangerous asset for the rest of the season, as well as post-season.


Did anyone notice Kobe asking for the guys to get out of Odom's way and have an open floor for that last shot at the end of the 1st quarter?

Kobe is trying to get Odom be more aggressive.. it's a process that both Kobe and Odom have to learn together.

I did NOT notice that. Good to know

Great Recap once again. Too bad about Farmar. Good thing about him is he is young and will recover easier.

Sometimes you gotta win games you have no business winning. 40% shooting, 22 TO's, 16 offensive boards given up - normally, those all spell doom, but the Bulls were thankfully worse.

All I've wanted out of our centers was to "Be like Ben." Our 2-headed monster out-did Ben last night, offensively and defensively.

It is so cool to see our little guy Andrew grow up before our eyes. This only means huge problems for the rest of the league.

Kwame is playing with a lot of energy off the bench and seems intent to make every moment count. Yeah, he still makes mistakes, but he more than tries to make up for them on subsequent plays. That dunk was a great energy boost.

Lamar had one of those mismatches against Deng and really exploited it all night. Kobe was a little more laid back tonight.

Our PG's actually outplayed another team's PG's... or maybe that's because Hinrich & Duhon completely stunk up the joint. Re: Sasha - is it me or does it just seem like he's got the green light to just gun up shots? 4 shots in 5 minutes? And a lot of them, quick, catch'n'shoot jumpers early in the shot clock? JoFar looked like he tripped on the Staples Center decal on the floor. Hopefully, he heals quickly.

He's taking those shots because he's trying to fake being confident. However, it doesn't work that way. Just as you can't get too down on yourself, you can't fool yourself by pretending that it isn't affecting you. It's really a tough thing to figure out, to know what state of mind you need to be in, and unfortunately, without his lack-of-driving ability and his poor defense, he has no way else to contribute to the team, while trying to work through this.

It looked to me like Jordan hit a wet spot on the floor. I could be wrong...

FSN showed replays, if it was wet he probably would have slipped forward over (Outwardly). Instead his ankle turned (ouch) inwardly. Hopefully - he will be okay in a few days (ice that baby!)
