It's official, number 24 is keeping his rightful place amongst the Purple and Gold. Kobe Bryant has just signed a three year contract with the Lakers, it's not surprising but it is always nice to have that ink drying on the paper. I don't know about you but I can sleep better at night knowing that the legend is staying exactly where his destiny demands.
On another note the Lakers beat the Jazz who before losing this game were tied with two other teams for the second seed in the Western Conference, crazy huh? It is highly possible that the Lakers will play the Jazz during the playoff run and tonight we sent a message to all Western Conference teams by soundly beating Utah. The Lakers started strong but then conceded ground in the second and third quarter bringing the score line to just a four point difference. However in the fourth quarter Lamar happened and within minutes the Lakers had a nineteen point lead. The Jazz just couldn't compete with the long limbs of Gasol and Odom despite some inspired play making by Deron Williams. Seriously, the dude has laser precision passing. The Lakers played as a team and showed that when they set their defense up the offense just comes naturally.
It's good to see the Lakers executing on both ends of the floor something that plagued them on their recent road trip. Next up is San Antonio who are another playoff team looking to secure their position. I say bring them on, bring on everybody, come on NBA let's see what you've got!
