Kobe Bryant Makes History, Magic, Hornets lose Point Guards, Heat going up!

So the Lakers Lost C Andrew Bynum for 8-12 weeks, this could really hurt the Lakers because Bynum was Averaging 25.6 ppg and 14 RPG in his last 7 Games. So he has a torn ligament in his right knee and will be out. Now the Lakers started a 6 game road trip and they beat Minnesota and beat Memphis and played the Knicks on Monday night will the Lakers be in trouble? NOOOO Kobe Bryant made a historic night for himself he drops 61 points on the 21-26 Knicks. Kobe went 19-31 from the field and 20-20 at the strike and 3-6 from downtown. And they go 3-0 on the road trip. He had help from the Spaniard Pau Gasol who dropped 31 points and had 14 rebounds. Whose hasn’t really been playing to his potential and needs to now due to Bynum's injury the Lakers will play at Toronto at Boston at Cleveland who is yet to lose a home game. Can they pull off another upset against these 3 teams? So Kobe 61 points at MSG was the highest by any layer this season and by anyone who has ever played at MSG by 1 point who set Bernard King 60 points.

The Hornets lose Olympic Gold medalist Point guard Chris Paul and he has a strained right groin. Paul walked out of the arena with a slight limp, saying only that he hurt himself when he “stepped wrong” and plans to have an MRI Monday. The time to recover is unknown wish well to the all-star point guard. the Orlando magic also lose a all star the upcoming Jameer Nelson Dislocated his right shoulder and it doesn’t seem so bad but the M.R.I will be done on Tuesday to see the Extent of the injury.

The Miami Heat are Moving on up. With There Small Forward Shawn Marion back in the line up but did not exactly start. yes Shawn Marion did not start the game he said “My first time in 10 years coming off the bench,” said Marion, who entered a game as a reserve for the first time since March 10, 2000, as a rookie for Phoenix against Utah. But with the pistons and the heat tied with the same record a loss would place the heat in the 5th seed and they rolled against the struggling Clippers. So they have the 5th seed in but can they maintain it they play the pistons this Wednesday at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The Pistons have lost 3 straight there at the heat on fire. And With a chance of making the 4th seed with an Atlanta loss.

  2. Pistons continue struggles? Thats funny because they just beat the Heat last night, even with Dwyane Wade's triple-double. I think the Pistons need to change their lineup because the team chemistry has been messed up ever since that Iverson-Billups trade earlier in the season. They aren't the same team they used to be, always looking to win the Eastern Conference, but hopefully we will get a decent seed in the playoffs and make some noise then.
