Kobe Saves Lakers’ Season

For Ted Green of KTLA, the Los Angeles Lakers’ season was saved by Kobe Bryant’s scoring frenzy in the past five games.  No kidding. Unless you’re rather daft then you obviously saw the correlation between Kobe taking over on offense and the Lakers winning. 
 

Kobe’s scoring binge started last Friday in their overtime win against Portland when Kobe put up 65 points.  Bryant kept scoring and the Lakers kept winning.  As a “team” the Lakers are on their first five-game win streak of the season, immediately after Phil Jackson’s first ever seven-game losing streak, at a point when the Lakers were about to drop to .500.   
 

By the way, Luke Walton and Lamar Odom came back. But so long as they can understand the “clear out the right side” looks from Kobe they should fit right into the game plan at this point.
 

As for me, and probably everybody else who buys Los Angeles Lakers tickets at StubHub.com, I’m glad Kobe stopped kidding himself by trying to play “team ball.”  And by “team” just then, I meant “suck.”
