Hey bloggers,

Despite a great win over the Houston Rockets Last night and another great performance from Paul Gasol and Kobe Bryant tonight, the Lakers came up short to the New Orleans Hornet. They didn’t play that well, especially in the beginning but managed to keep it tight throughout the game. Frustrated towards himself and his teammates Bryants attitude went from saucy to silent while getting asked a few questions fallowing their lost. When a reporter asked Kobe what happen in Oklahoma and in New Orleans, Bryant simply responded, "We just didn't play well." When he was then asked why he was frustrated during the last few minutes of the game, he responded again "We just didn't play well." Beside the big two, Kobe and Gasol, the Lakers barely got help from their teammates. Gasol finished with 26pts and 22reb another double-double, Kobe had 31pts, and Ron Artest finished with 14pts. "He was getting double- and triple-teamed, and he was getting the ball to guys for shots and we just didn't shoot the two-point shot well at all," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "We had a couple here and a couple there. We weren't consistent at all." The Lakers next face off against the Hot Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night.
