I will take a dominating win like that when Kobe goes 8-23 or so any freaking day.

Nice to see the swarming bee defense back after it was abandoned against Detroit and not really needed against Chicago.

I love when they double all over like that, covering lanes and using their athleticism.

Trevor Ariza continues to impress. The recovery for the block on Hill was pure sickness. I adore ariza. Still pinch myself that we got him for Cook and Evans.

Barkley is one of those guys that says 10 things and finally gets one right. This team needs to be run through Amare in order to win. If they try to ride and die with Shaq, they most certainly will die.

Shaq has surprised me thus far this year without a doubt, but they probably won't even win a playoff series playing offense like that.

Man, that second half defense from the Lakers vs. the Mavs was hardcore. They were everywhere. Erased a 12 point deficit and NEVER looked back. Kobe had a great game, as did Ariza and Bynum.

Poor first half defense though, but they locked that place down in the second half.

13-1 on the young season.

Lakers rolling the Rapters right now late in the fourth.

Bynum just dunked horizontal, picking up the and one, then gets a rebound tosses full court to Lamar who flips it to Ariza for the dunk.

The highlights on this one are going to be fun to watch. Tons of sharing of the ball.

This team is damn fun to watch. Even on a small streaming video online.

Trevor Ariza is starting to look like he as much of a steal as Pau Gasol. When they got Ariza, I had never heard of him. They sent out Brian Cook who I never liked and brought in Ariza who I had never heard of. I figured it was a "scrub for a scrub" deal that was done for financial reasons or for 3rd string depth. Man am I pleasently surprised.

Ariza was known as a tough perimiter defender, and he's lived up to that, but what amazes me is how his entire game has developed under Jackson since joining the Lakers. The way Ariza is playing right now he's going to be serious 6th man of the year candidate when it's all said and done. Very impressive.

I was excited for Ariza...book on him was good defense and sick, sick athleticism. And young.

He's developing tremendously.

I was hoping he would be healthy in the Finals last year for that very reason. Our defense was nonexistent.

Now with Bynum in the middle and Ariza and Kobe prowling perimeters, it is fun to watch.
