Kobe is back to Earth - NBA notes - 03/27/2007

Kobe came back to Earth finally. He scored 23 on 7/26 shots and the Lakers lost to the lowly Grizzlies who got just 10 points from Pau Gasol and Mike Miller was not even on the court. Bad loss for the Lakers and Kobe. A buzz-kill after all that happened last week. Odom had 3 points in this game though he had 16 boards and 11 dimes.

King James had a 28-7-6 night against the Pacers to hand them another loss. Jermaine O'Neal showed up like a man again with a 32 point night, but the Cavs were not going to lose this one after one of those stupid "players-only meeting" that apparently James called for. It worked for the Cavs for whatever reason and the Pacers have now lost 15 of 17. Poor Jermaine O'Neal should be dying inside.

Crazy win for the Sonics today behind Rashard Lewis's 35 points, 21 of which came in the money quarter. Up by 25 points with five minutes left in the third quarter, Minnesota was outscored 51-18 the rest of the way and 25-2 to end the game, losing 114-106 to the Supersonics . This might effectively end the playoff dream for the T-Wolves. Good news for the Hornets, Clippers and the Warriors.

Memphis @ LA Lakers - 88-86
Cleveland @ Indiana - 105-94

Interesting games on the board for Mar 28-Th (Wednesday)

Miami @ Toronto - Identical records, tough Miami look like the better team these days.

Cleveland @ New York - King James in the Big Apple.

Houston @ LA Clippers - Important game for the Clip-Joint in the playoff race.

Indiana @ New Jersey - Indiana needs this one real, real bad.
