Lakers were on the second night of a back-to-back, on the road, against a very good and rested Hornets team. |
That does explain a lot about Q4. |

Now... let's hope the Lakers get some rest and put 4 quarters worth of beat-down on the Pistons. |

Yep, back to back tough games. I hope people dont expect them to be blowing out the really good teams by 20 points every game. Thats to much to ask.
I will take this win any day of the week. |

I missed the game b/c I had class tonite. Thank God for DVR!!! But its interesting to see that everyone says the Lakers ran out of gas in the 4th b/c the Hornets were outscored by 12 in the 4th. It appears to me that the Lakers took off on defense in the 3rd as the NO scored 22 to the Lakers' 20. _________________ I <3 Basketball! |

It's not too much to ask to not let teams have 24-8 runs on you in the 4th quarter because your defense completely breaks down. |

Not really an excuse. That was the team that you finished last year with and made the Finals. I don't care if Bynum wasn't in. Blame Phil for that. But the defense should not be that bad. |

I still have to wonder how anyone thinks that the Laker Defense collapsed in the end of the game. New Orleans is playing at home and they are surging with momentum. Most weaker teams would have lost this game tonight.
Lakers did a good job of securing the win. Lets not blame the defense but tip the hat to N.O. for playing at a high level. This kind of loss for N.O. is tougher than a blowout anyway. They worked so hard to win and Kobe takes it away at the end.
Its like last year in regular season when we almost lost a big lead to N.O. and they ended up playing thier starters all game long and lost. Then went on to lose the back to back game which allowed the Lakers to take the #1 seed.
The Lakers are a very tough team to beat. And it will take this kind of effort by another team to come close. I can live with that just fine. |

It's a perfect example of a coach who's lost his mind and pissed away a good thing. |
or maybe, just maybe, phil saw bynum limping a little out there and decided to rest him when the lakers had a big cushion, since, ya know, it was only the 7th game of the regular season and even if by some tragic accident we lost the game it wouldn't be that big a deal. just saying. |

When I saw the halftime score at 51-30, my main worry was collasping in the second half. I thought the Lakers came out strong with emotion riding high from last night's win in Dallas and they just matched NO in the 3rd before their legs started to give in a bit in the 4th.
Came out with the W on a back to back on the road to the team everyone thinks will either be 1st or 2nd seed in the west. If the Lakers had the same rest NO got and had that halftime lead, I'm more then confident they would of maintained that lead, if not extended it. _________________ "This is a comptitive city.

i thought exactly the same thing. it always happens for some reason. but the way i look at it is we built that lead to put us in position to win despite a run by NOH. but in my opinion we need to execute our offense a little better in the 4th. you notice how we killed houston when we were executing our offense in the 4th and blew 'em out even though that was at home. |

Also had a 3 day rest, the Lakers in this game had a back to back and NO had a 3 day rest.
Houston fans were moaning about this when the Lakers beat them and tonight, the Lakers have proved they can win in the same situation as Houston. _________________ "This is a comptitive city.

Good point. The Lakers played their 3rd game in 4 nights, and basically toyed with NO before falling asleep in the 4th. This team is scary good. |

All you people hating on Phil and referencing the crappy finals performance last year need to stop. The Lakers played like s in the 2nd half. Oh well. Every team has bad games no matter how good they are on paper. Nobody is perfect. Just because they played like crap in the 2nd half doesn't mean that there are huge underlying problems that the Lakers need to fix to save their season. For f sake, calm down. The Lakers beat a VERY good team on the ROAD after playing in Dallas and grinding out a tough one the night before. The Lakers are 7-0. We should be happy as f. I know I am. Put the haterade back in the fridge.
