Things have gotten worse. There was no Nash, Blake, and Gasol playing for the Lakers, and Kobe and Dwight found it too much to handle, as another duo shone that night: Kyrie Irving and Anderson Varejao stepped up for the Cavaliers and gave the Lakers a 100-94 beating on the purple and gold's first of four road trips, sinking them further away from the .500 mark that they used to have just a week ago.
Yay of the Game:
42: Kobe's final score in the game, making 16 out of his 28 shots, which came alongside 5 boards and 2 dimes. Though it may be good that Kobe seems to be the only one stepping up in this depleted Laker squad, the Lakers are 1-10 when Kobe scores 30 or more.
Nay of the Game:
2: Number of points all the Lakers' PGs have combined (none for Morris, a basket for Duhon). Looks like the one spot is going to be a big problem for the Lakers, as the Steves have not yet been cleared to play.
Play of the Game:
Let's just settle and be consoled that Kobe, a 16-year pro, can still take on sophomore Kyrie Irving:
The Lakers Are Now At:
9-13 (3rd Pacific, 12th West). Lakers fans would sure want the nightmare to be over, but with the New York Knicks around, it seems that the worse is yet to come.
