Easy win for the tough Lakers

Hey bloggers,


Today the Lakers were put to test at home against the Washington wizards. With starter Center Andrew Bynum out of the line up because of a crucial injury, the Lakers line up still looked good enough for a win. From the beginning of the game and throughout, the Lakers came out ready to play and you could see it in their eyes. The beginning of the game wasn’t to reassuring for Lakers fan, but the defending champs once again came to show us why they are one of the elite and toughest contenders in this league. ‘’With a team like this we know that we have the talent to overcome anything’’, said the Lakers Leading scorer Kobe Bryant, leading the way with (24pts). Paul Gazol had (28pts & 12reb), Ron Artest had 16 and Shanon brown ended his night with 13 of the bench. With that kind of contribution from the starters and bench players, the Lakers were sure to walk out of this game with a win, even without Bynum. Although this was an easy win for the mighty Lakers, Coach Phil Jackson is a little worried about the next weeks to come. There’s still 2 months in the season and it’s almost time for the playoffs and they still don’t know how long it’ll take Bynum to heal. ‘’ Fortunately, this year we got two more months of playing time out of drew’’ Jackson said, ‘’Hopefully this injury is a short duration.’ The lakers continue their winning streak and look good right now, but comes crunch(playoffs) time in a few week from now, they will need their big man back.
