This will be a test.

we've lost to these sorta teams on the road all season. high energy younger teams and on tired legs to boot. Getting this win would be a huge boost to the teams conidence. Our defense should be geared to stop Westbrook even if we give up a big game to Durant but we can't let Westbrook get down the lane all game long. If we can force him into a bad game and Kobe looks to score early and often and limit Harden's effectiveness we coud win this game.

We are just too slow on the perimeter.

Kobe keeps letting harden beat him down the floor on break opportunities

typical Drew to half ass that last second pass - tough end to the half

but we're right there and keeping control of the pace - I like it so far - i think they could get this one if they keep it up

Yikes. We lost this game at the end of the first half.

Nice pas Drew.

Oh, and Kobe's effort tonight has been disgusting. Twice, Harden has beaten him down the floor and scored when all Kobe needed to do was run back with him to prevent it.

We're just too slow. This team needs more firepower

I didn't think we'd win this game to tell the truth not on tired legs. We just don't have another gear its too hard to control tempo when we aren't fully rested. Not saying we'd beat them rested just saying we'd have a better chance. we need some youth we gotta flush Fisher Artest, Murphy, and Barnes and get some youth get some athleticism on this team.

No way in hell we shoulda tied up money in Mcroberts,Murphy and Kapono.I'm dead serious 3 d league guys hungry and energetic woulda been a better way to go. Milsap's broher Gabe Pruit and someone else.

but hey we split the 2 tough road ganes I can live with that at this point.

Another 2nd half fade-to-black.

Kobe is playing way too many minutes. It's starting to have an impact.
