DB, you are, without a doubt, the best Lakers recapper/analyst working today.

I missed the game because I'm out of town. Nothing on the web or ESPN brought the game to life like your Thoughts and Ratings. Thanks for all your time and effort.

Lakers had the best point differential, the highest scoring offense, and the lowest ppg allowed on defense (I think those last two might account for the first one?

), and yet, against a good team, they improved on all three numbers! Wow...

cap mentioned bynum still doesn't have confidence in his knee.

for any of you that have had a ankle or knee injury, you know that once your physically healthy, you still have to get over the mental aspect of the injury. trusting it to do things that leave you vulnerable to another possible injury.

drew definately has been working through this part of his recovery. that's why we don't see the explosiveness. partly cuz ity's not all the way there, and partly cuz he's still hesitant to try to really explode up in trafficwith all those feet to come down on.

the last 2 games i've seen him startying to gain that trust back. when he tried to elevate and dunk on yao when coming down the lane last night was a great sight. he had the faith to go ahead and explode up to challenge yao at the rim. resulting in 2 free throws.

i think that play will go along way towards him trusting the knee more, and starting to play above the rim more and more. like a light bulb went on after that play.

it was a great sign for me to see. he's getting there. physically he's fine, it's just getting phsychologically all the way there. but he's on his way.

great recap db.

Phil trying to find the words for Ariza's off-the-ball work. Kind of reminds me of the movie The Patriot:

Vlade's minutes are most effective starting, much like Fisher. next year though, i could see Valde off the bench, especially if we don't re-sign Odom.

Great intro DB, didn't know you had it in you, DRAMA.

Usual informed recap. Defense is what will be the determining factor in the run for the Larry O'Brien trophy this season. They started slow but the bench mob did what they've been doing all year, energize. We're looking good.
