Lakers are no longer below .500

[Eric]

The win tonight puts them at 9-9.

Kobe only scores 11 and the Lakers win. Coincidence? In scoring 11 he was 5/12 (almost 50% meaning he didn't hurt the team with tons of bad shots).

Check out the way other players like Odom(19 points) were able to contribute:

Lol most of the team shot over 50%

You're right, they played well on the road. I guess Toronto's defense isn't very good.

Yeah Raptors are kinda one of the worst teams in the NBA, but a win is a win

Kobe needs another running mate. I don't think Odom is up to the task to be the "Pippen" of the team. Horace Grant maybe
