Dude, strange things are afoot in Lakerland. Last night, en route to the Lakers beating the Nuggets 116-99, Kobe Bryant passed the ball. He made shit happen. And then, postgame, with a smile on his face, Kobe spoke in approving terms about his team, citing the fullness of their “passion bucket”. WHO IS THIS MAN?
It wasn’t just Kobe raising the bar. Taking advantage of the double team on Bryant, Derek Fisher hit 6 out of 7 from three point range and scored 16 of the Laker’s first 24 points. Lamar Odom awoke from his slumber to score 15, with 11 rebounds and 7 assists to boot. Even Kwame didn’t completely suck, and Laker nation didn’t boo him, so, um, yay for Kwame.
But will this positive attitude stand up when the Lakers go on the road this week to play the horrible, lecherous vampire crews in San Antonio and Dallas? Let’s check the Laker Injury Report: Trevor Ariza is out 8 weeks with a fractured bone in his right foot, meaning the Laker bench is thinner than ever. And guess how he broke it? On Derek Fisher’s foot (remember: Andrew Bynum’s injury was courtesy of Lamar Odom’s sixteen and a halfs). Damn dastardly vampire curses! The Lakers take on the Spurs in San Antonio on Wednesday at 6 pm on the four letter network.

Another LAist supposedly complimentary post about the Lakers with backhanded compliments for Kobe.
It's like playing Lakers Mad Libs!:
The Lakers beat _______(insert good NBA team) despite Kobe being selfish and _______ (insert derogatory adjective). I will continute to pretend to like Kobe, but _______ (insert negative traits).
________(your name)
________, ______(city and state that you are originally from and left to become an LA-transplant)
the lakers are a dangerous team to jump against right now..first bynum, then ariza, and carmelo....hopefully it will be a good scare tactic against the other teams

I'm hoping the Lakers can weather the storm for the next couple months. When Bynuma and Ariza get healthy it'll be like making a huge trade at the deadline.
