The Big Payback : Lakers vs Dallas

The Lakers welcome back Lamar Odumb back for the first time since he demanded to be traded. For those who don't know I don't like Odumb so I couldn't care less. The showed a video montage at the beginning followed. Y the song " Welcome Back". When Lamar checked in the game there were some boos, but Derrick Fisher stood at mid court and urged the crowd to cheer, then ran over to hug him.

 The Staples Center rose to their feet and gave him an ovation. I did as well because I'm glad he's off our hands. Reports came out today that he contemplated taking a year or more off because his head was not in the game. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS!! The only reason he played this year was because Kloe told him too. Your wife needs to make you play a game you love and get paid millions for???? Get the heck outta here!!

  Whoosaw..ok now that I got that out lets get to the game. The first quarter was very sloppy. Both rims seemed to have lids on them. Dirk and Kobe were both scoreless. But guess who had 7 points....Odumb. I wonder why he couldn't make them here...he hit the last shot of the quarter to put Dallas up by three.
The second quarter gets underway and the Lakers go on a 6-0 run. Including a steal from Kobe to give him his first points of the night. Then, the next play after that he hit a fade away jumper. The Lakers seemed to being waking up out of their slumber.. Pau then gave a between the legs pass to Bynum for a slam. Then on the other end he blocks Dirk! Then Kobe blocks JKidd on the other end.!It's a Block Party and The Mavericks are invited! But, our bench once again is being out scored 18-6. We end the half up by 4 shooting 41%. Dallas is shooting 36%.
The third quarter opens up with a jumper from Dirk. This sparks the Mavs and Jason Kidd hits his first three ( he was 0-6)to put them within one. This sparks an 8-0 run by the Mavs. But then everything gets very sloppy. Kobe can't by a basket, Dirk can't buy a basket, Fisher is shooting the lights out and not drawing iron, Brendan Haywood is painful to watch on offense as usual, and Ron Artest is dribbling around the key like he's on the freakin Globetrotters! Bynum who has a double double already is the only one keepin us in this game.

But with that said the Lakers are 1-15 from the field!!!! But we are only down by five!! This was the ugliest game I had seen this season. Only 7points in the quarter!
The fourth quarter starts with a bunch of bricks of course but then Ron passes a lob to McBob who did a reverse slam! Then I promptly coined the phrase  #mcbobcity. Then the next play down Barnes thru a lob to Bynum. We may be comin alive people! That sparked an 11-4 run to put us up by five. But Dirk answered with six straight. It gets down to the wire at Staples. Lakers up by two with .38secs left and they are playing Let's Go Crazy by Prince. I got good vibes....Kobe goes up for a jumper and missed. Jason Terry pulls up for one and makes it. Tie score with 9secs left. And then......just as I live and breathe......D Fish pulls up for a threeeeeee!!!!




The Mavs get the ball back and Vince bricks a three to loose the game.  One of the worst games a season turned out to be another D Fish highlight. The hardest working man this off season,in and out of board rooms fighting for our entertainment and his lively hood.. All the people talking bout Fish need to shut their mouth. If Kobe ain't takin the last shot Fish is...and you can bet money it's goin in!!!! " This is what I do." said Fisher When opportunities present themselves, I'm confident in my ability to step up and make the right play.Ive been fortunate in my career to come up with some of those big plays." Fisher not only hit the game winner, but scored 9 of his 13 points in the 4th quarter. Kobe who ended his streak of 40 points games was a facilitator down the stretch. The best part is when he drew the double team he kicked out to Fish who delivered.

Its the same "old" song with Fisher. Many people say he needs to be off the team. I say as long as he keeps producing like this then why not keep him? Its just like Robert Horry. He would be scoreless all night and hit the game winner..those are the most important ones right? Yes hes old, yes hes slow, yes he gets burned by the new quick PGs in the league, but you know what else he does? Comes thru in the clutch: MR DEPENDABLE!!!!
