The Lakers waltzed into Dallas last night and emerged with a 109 -106 victory over the stunned Mavericks. Who would have thought Kwame Brown would have his best night to date as a Laker? 6/6 for 12 points, and he was able to catch entry passes.. . . with his hands! Seriously, Kwame had a great game and gave us what we were hoping to get from him in the first couple of weeks of the season.
Lamar Odom showed the same aggressiveness he has shown on this recent road trip that has been making this guy writing a little more accepting of the big L.O. L.O. finished with 15 pts, 11 rebs, and 5 assists.
Smush Parker had his second consecutive down game with a 5 point effort. To his credit, there were some ticky tack calls in the first half that cost him quite a bit of playing time.
And oh yeah, Bean dropped 43 including a 3000 ft 3 pointer with hands in his face as the shot clock expired late in the fourth quarter that milked the soul from Mavericks for all intent and purpose.
This was a game we were supposed to lose. The experts say we just wanted to make a good showing. I must admit the current road trip has given me renewed hope in what's happening with this team. 4 -1 on a six game road trip. That total equals the number of wins we have at home all season(4 -5)!!!
