Kobe drops 60 again - NBA notes - 03/22/2007

Kobe scored 60 points again and the Lakers needed every point as they won by 2 against the Grizz. This guy is on an amazing roll right now. This is his 3-rd straight 50 point game. Reminds me of the run he had in 2003 when he scored 40+ in 9 straight games and 35+ in 12 straight or something. He is truly an once in a generation talent. Mike Miller and Pau Gasol had 33 and 35 in the loss and nobody even noticed them because Kobe scored almost both their totals combined. Odom was involved in this game too with 20-15 and that's always good news for the Lakers.

Amare was back to his old self with a monstrous 33-21 night. Good comeback for Amare after the 4 point night against the T-Wolves. Nash helped him with a 17 point 16 assist night to lead the Suns to one of their typical wins. No Artest for the Kings, not that it would have mattered in this game. Tough loss for Denver as Tyrus Thomas tipped in a Ben Gordon's miss at the buzzer to erase a good night from AI and Melo. Detroit's run was stopped by the Rockets at Houston as Yao Ming had 27 points and helped his team win 8 out of 10 games since he returned from injury. "Skip 2 My Lou" Rafer Alston is quietly having a big season for the Rockets. Looks like Van Gundy has a proven way of handling NBA players. I still can't believe this guy threatened to go back to And-1 street ball while he was unhappy in Toronto! That's like someone threatening to stop driving a Ferrari and go back to driving a Geo Metro. Whose exactly is such a threat directed towards?

Detroit @ Houston - 85-91
LA Lakers @ Memphis - 121-119
Sacramento @ Phoenix - 100-118
Denver @ Chicago - 108-109

Interesting games on the board for Mar 23-rd (Friday)

Detroit @ San Antonio - Could this be a Finals preview?

Washington @ Golden State - Agent-0 goes back to his old stomping grounds.

LA Lakers @ Hornets - Laker games might just be must-see TV rest of the season with Kobe going nuts right now.
