i'm just happy warriors melted down at the end with turnovers and ronnie missing his fts.

I still think the Lakers are not taking the losses they have had seriously..losing to Phoenix last night...and coming into staples while climbing back into the game..at home..that isn't good for a team that is defending champions.

Playing hard on both ends seems to do the trick

well, they did claw their way out of that 15-point hole. that's what championship teams do. plus, we didn't have artest. he would've helped defensively of course.

the warriors were playing inspired ball. putting up such a good fight against the world champs is like winning a playoff series for them.

i think it was a good win regardless...

hmm, I missed the game tonight. A win is a win, but the D still gave up too many points - at home nevertheless. The defense needs to clamp down! come back soon, Ron !

we haven't had an easy win in ages. we're struggling against bottom feeder teams and needing buzzer beaters and clutch shots to even win games. shows our poise down the stretch, but all are losses have been against playoff caiber teams (phoenix, cleveland, dallas, rockets, etc).

can't complain though, regardless how bad we're playing overall, we're still the number one seed in the nba and boston is losing consecutive games.

We lost too many points, but without Artest it's normal... Kobe's another fantastic game. Brown dunks on Radmanovic - nice! But Turiaf blocks Kobe... what a pity, it should be one of the best dunks of Kobe this year, but...

On the other hand we shouldn't complain, we still have best record and we won last game this year.

I hope 2010 will be better

LO had an horrible game. Poor FG shooting. He had the same points that Bynum did, and had 4 more rebounds, and he played 11 more minutes.
We just tried that amazing lineup with Drew-Gasol-Odom-Artest-Kobe 2 times, in one of them we had an amazing run and we won the game in that period. I´m looking forward to see that lineup in cluth minutes at the playoffs.
Farmar had a good game again.
