Can't believe they're doing 3 Kobe statues instead of one. Personally, I'd have
done one with Gigi wearing #2 and sitting on his shoulders dunking the ball and
Kobe with an #8 on the front and a #24 on the back raising her up for the dunk.

OUT: DLo,Cam,Vando. Another slow start costs the Lakers a W. I liked in Q4
how they played AD with Hayes for quite a bit of the Q. Lakers play too far
off their man and can't contest the 3s. On O, they need to attack the rim and
have a big sliding to the rim on the weak side for a possible lob and never let
your man turn the corner and go baseline on you. And once again they get out
ORB'd which cost -9 pts. 106-114 Lakers lose by 8 and shoulda won even with 4
guys out.

FBP: 4 vs 9; PIP: 60 vs 54; POT: 15 vs 15; SCP: 12 vs 21.

Quarterly Laker scoring leaders/notes (pluses OR/ST/BL; minuses TO/PF/oOR):

Q1 - Everything pretty good exc shooting - shooting 35/25/75% vs 52/50/0%;
pluses 3/5/5; minuses 2/2/1. Davis 10, Prince 5. 23-29=-6Q.

Q2 - Better O, but not good enough and let's see some perimeter D - shooting
48/40/67% vs 45/50/0%; pluses 1/2/1; minuses 3/2/5. Prince 8,
James/Christie/Davis/Reaves 4. 26-30=-4Q. Christie turns ankle and out
for game 1 minute in.

Q3 - Good shooting takes 6 off the deficit - shooting 61/50/71% vs 47/38/100%;
pluses 0/3/2; minuses 1/3/2. James/Davis 11, Reaves 8.
30-24=+6Q (79-83=-4).

Q4 - Finally one of the things I've wanted is to see AD & Hayes in together -
and in the last minute after actually getting a lead, they fall apart -
shooting 46/17/75% vs 50/40/75%; pluses 6/2/2; minuses 1/3/6. James 8,
Davis/Hayes 7. 27-31=-4Q.

H1 - Need to step up 3D and make some of their own - shooting 41/31/71% vs
48/50/0%; pluses 4/7/6; minuses 5/4/6. Davis 14, Prince 13, Christie 7,
James 6. 49-59=-10H.

H2 - Lakers won H2, but gave up too much in H1 to get the W - shooting 53/33/73%
vs 49/39/86; pluses 6/5/4; minuses 2/6/8. 57-55=+2H.

FG - Lakers shoulda won this one - they need to start faster and play harder
and be more aggressive - shooting 46/32/73% vs 49/44/86%; pluses 10/12/10;
minuses 7/10/14. 106-114=-8G.
