lamar blogom had its second laker outing as a blog, this time with the actual writer (me) and the nominal one who serves mainly as a spiritual guide (peter.) lakers lost, could have won but for bad free throw shooting, took it right down to the wire and blew a big lead at the end.
lamar kept it real in a serious way. he looks about 85% back, but with every loping stride down the court, every rebound pulled down, every surreal dunk/layup in the lane, reminds me of why i picked his ass as the logo in the first place. dude can seriously ball, and he seems to be just coming into his own as a player and as an integral part of the triangle offense. i don't know how high his ceiling is, but from my place about 12 rows back it looked pretty high.
some random notes:
- francisco elson and fabricio oberto remind me of bubbles and his white homey from the wire. just a couple of crackheads.
- elson's legs are skinny to the point that i was seriously worried that if someone crossed him up, he would have to be hospitalized.
- andrew bynum's arms are really really long.
- i know you know this, and i know i've said it, but kobe is a damn assassin when he gets the ball in the clutch. bang bang, right in bowen's face.
- kobe is more efficient now; started the game 10/15. he lets the offense start up and move the lakes until the last 5 minutes or so, then he turns into the MAMBA.
- everyone on the spurs roster is a bitch. keep that in mind.
