Finally Back... Kobe Game Winner

Well after a rough computer transition I am finally back. I'll start with last nights game against the Pacers. It was a defensive battle... not so much, the score was 68-66 at halftime. The Lakers ended up winning 121-119 on Kobe's game winner with 3 seconds left. Kobe had one of his best overall stat lines of the year with 36 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds. The Lakers got a rough stretch coming up on their schedule, hopefully Lamar Odom will be back for these games, he is listed as day to day with a bone bruise in his knee. Luke Walton and Jordan Farmar have also been out. Right now in my opinion Cleveland looks like the best team in the NBA. They beat Boston by 15 last night at home. I am not saying they look the best just because they beat Boston, but they have been the most consistent and they play defense every single night, something the Lakers need to work on.
