Los Angeles is now 7-0 and they’ve done it by playing team basketball that works like the inside of a Rolex. Kobe is passing better than Jordan ever did, the team is gelling like a group of marines and Gasol is quietly morphing into a veritable monster. Walloping Portland last night 121-96, the Spaniard had 20 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in his fourth career triple double. Meanwhile, Lamar Odom had 21 points and 12 assists and Shannon Brown knocked down 4 threes. On defense, nutbag Ron Artest earned his keep, shutting down Portland’s Brandon Roy.
It doesn't really get any better than that. The Lakers are as deep as they are unselfish and Phil Jackson is looking like the greatest basketball mind on the planet, again.
The bad news: Kobe played less than 25 minutes last night and was icing his right knee constantly. The good news: it didn’t even matter.
