Hey hey hey now. Walt Williams is DEFINITELY not even close to useless.

IMO he is one of the best three-point shooters in the game today. He has hit so many outside shots off of the bench for Dallas this year that it's unreal.

He didn't have a great game tonight, but he is still one hell of a player.

I was referring to his 4th quarter non-heroics. He was playing instead of Adrian Griffen, which is why i made that comment. Sorry, i failed to mention the lack of seriousness in that comment, as i agree that Walt Williams is far from useless; he was just useless tonite.

And i have to agree with KC, Duncan deserves that. His team won just as much as Kobe's did tonite, and a line of 29, 10, 6, and 8 is more impressive than Kobe's. You forget to mention that Kobe was non-existent in the first 3 quarters, which is why Duncan gets the nod from me as well. Kobe is a very close second though.

KC, Wiggum...are you guys freakin psychics?!

How the hell did you know they were gonna come back?!

Good God, disregard all of my other posts! I was just clearly frustrated that the Lakers were being massacred. I'm sure every other Lakers fan was too.

BOY WAS I WRONG!

But we need to continue this good play through our next few games.

MAN...I MEAN, I WAS W-R-O-N-G!

I won't say I was sure the Lakers would win this one. But as a Laker fan I know that in the fourth quarter we play a different basketball.

Still was hard to believe: 88 - 61 Lakers, in the end of the 3rd quarter.

What a victory.

Come on man, Kobe had 21 points in the fourth quarter on 8-8 shooting, and he made the game-winning shot! They came back from 30 points down for crying out loud!

27 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists.

You had him as the Player of the Day earlier but you took him off and replaced him with Duncan.

Com' on KC, make Duncan and Kobe Co-Players of the Day.

I feel you damian. KC has posted co-players of the day, but he doesnt like Kobe so..... what can you do

Duncan deserved it more today guys. KC has been very objective with his choices and he can post whoever he wants as player of the day. Guess what? So can you.....

Back to the game. WOW! I've seen some great comebacks before, but this one was un-freaking-believable.

Some quotes from last night from the LA Times:

"I just told them not to look at the score because it won't do any good," Coach Phil Jackson said.

"It's nice to have a team that believes it has the ability to overcome insurmountable odds," Jackson said. "I think tonight was looking like an insurmountable odd."

"It's all about believing in yourself," Jackson said. "This is a team that's played under the duress of ridicule. It's a big win."

"It was really hard for them in the locker room," Jackson said. "They had their heads in their hands. I had to get them rooted and ready."

O'Neal might have set the mood for their refusal to quit when he refused to come out of the game. Samaki Walker stood at the scorer's table. The horn sounded. Walker started in. But O'Neal refused to come out.
Jackson waved at him. O'Neal waved back. "No. I ain't coming."
Jackson laughed. But O'Neal was serious.
"He's the first player I've ever had do that to me," Jackson said.

It's strange, but even with the Mav's big lead at the half, I wasn't comfortable. There was a look on Shaq's face after half time that just made me even more uncomfortable. I think he set the tone when he wouldn't come out of the game and between he and Kobe & Horry - they made the team believe they could come back and they did!

This game might turn out to be a pivotal game not only for the Lakers, but for the Mavs and the Kings in the west and the Pacers & Philly in the east, as well.
