Lakers burned by Suns
PHOENIX -- Kobe Bryant scored 49 points and Pau Gasol added 30, but they didn't get enough support from their teammates and the Lakers lost to Shaquille O'Neal and the Phoenix Suns, 118-111, today at the US Airways Center. O'Neal led the Suns with 33 points before fouling out late in the game. The Lakers hammered the Suns, 132-106, on Thursday. But the Lakers lost Friday to the Denver Nuggets and tumbled again today. t's only their third two-game losing streak of the season.
The Lakers have had a great season so far, hopefully these past losses don't bring them down. I would have to say though, that today's game was pretty close rather than Thursday nights game were the Phoenix Suns lost by 26 points. Lakers know how to get back up on their feet and will continue to maintain their spot in the next nba championship finals.
They can say the scheduling is unfair, but they'll have to toughen up after tough losses. Another 2-game losing streak shows a sign of a fatigued Lakers team. And they have to play again in two days back at the comforts of Staples Center against Memphis. They will come home empty-handed, but no emptiness in confidence and resiliency. To regroup at home after a 2-game losing streak isn't a bad thing at all.
We want free agents, Drew Gooden or Joe Smith!!!!!!!!!!!!
