Quote:

Kobe Bryant is just happy the Los Angeles Lakers are winning games instead of focusing on his tremendous scoring run.

Bryant looks to reach 50 points for a fourth consecutive game and help the Lakers win a fourth straight game Friday when they visit the New Orleans Hornets.

Bryant, the league's leading scorer at 30.5 points per game, scored 60 on Thursday to lead Los Angeles (36-32) to a 121-119 win over Memphis. The stellar performance came after he had a season-high 65 in a 116-111 overtime victory against Portland on Sunday and netted 50 versus Minnesota in a 109-102 win on Tuesday.

I'd say probably so. I believe it was Mason that had the assignment during the 1st 2 meetings of the season.

Hornets with the 6pt loss. Which means they probably would've/could've won had West been a factor. He was a non-factor tonight. Too much foul trouble. Tyson was an absolute BEAST!! CP had a good game as well with 28 & 12. Even though the Hornets lost, I enjoyed the game.

Recap

Quote:

NEW ORLEANS -- Kobe Bryant is making 50-point games look routine.

Bryant finished with exactly 50, becoming only the second NBA player to hit that mark in four straight games and leading Los Angeles to a 111-105 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.

Bryant followed scoring totals of 65, 50 and 60 in his previous three games, all Lakers victories.

Only Wilt Chamberlain has exceeded that mark, scoring at least 50 points in seven consecutive games during the 1961-62 season.

Bryant calmly made all 16 free throws he attempted while the opposing crowd tried to rattle him with arm-waving taunts.

Tyson Chandler had 22 points and 22 rebounds for New Orleans, which trailed nearly the entire second half. Chris Paul had 28 points and 12 assists for the Hornets, playing the last of six games scheduled in New Orleans this season before a full-time return to the rebuilding city over the summer.

The Hornets had won two straight and three of four before falling to Los Angeles in a game that left New Orleans on the outside of a close race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

West and Mason both had such lousy shooting nights it's amazing this game was ever close.God knows Mason is never going to see another team that will let him shoot the ball as much as Scott does.As far as I am concerned they should forget about going to him in the post and let him earn his points hustling and running the wings on teh break.I know they don't have many options,but try something that might work.

^^^Agreed.

I was at the game and the players couldn't breathe on Kobe. Violet(woman referee)was booed loudly several times by the crowd. And I believe she took it personal and just called more fouls. I couldn't understand why West wasn't in the game, but now I know he was in foul trouble. I thought it was quite mean when someone called Dez the black hole, but they were right. His hands is where possessions go to die. It seems almost automatic that he will turn the ball over 2-3 times a game. His production is down, which would be fine if he can make up for it on defense. Why Linton isn't playing is beyond me? Marc Jackson is a waste of a good uniform. Let Hilton play, every time he hit the floor he produce. But Byron keep him buried on the end of the bench. I hope this made sense, I was ranting a little.

Good post bee-fan. I bust out laughing when you said Desmonds' hands is where possessions go to die.

You are so right though. Everything you said in this post is true. Violet started calling silly silly fouls really early. The first foul she called on Devin was the most silliest thing I'd ever seen. So did you have fun tonight? Got tipsy?

**Diable** · 03-23-2007, 09:35 PM

I don't know if some of it is sexism,but it seems like everyone thinks VIolet Palmer is the worst zebra in the league.The players voted her that and it seems a lot of fans agree too.I really think it's Jess Kersey,but she doesn't impress me either.

To say we lost, I had a lot of fun. It was very entertaining, and the crowd was amped. I had a couple of drinks, but when I lost my Bluetooth in the 3rd quarter I sobered up pretty quick.

I think the worse foul was the one she called on Pargo, when he was standing still and Kobe ran into him. All the boos shook the arena

A lot of fans were yelling some nasty things at her. I sit close to the court, so I know she heard them.

Oh yeah, Jess Kersey is another one that sucks. And she's the only female NBA official right? When I saw that she was one of the officials tonight I was like ..."oh brother". Did you find your Bluetooth?
