By Ben Bolch of the LA Times Falling down on the job was a moment Steve Blake may never forget. In a good way. The Lakers were teetering on the brink of an extended off-season Saturday night when their backup point guard took a pass from Kobe Bryant in the corner midway through the fourth quarter. Blake spotted up and released the ball before absorbing … Read More »

That is not an April fools joke. JaVal, the ex Wizard, schooled Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. Game 6 is in Denver Thursday night.

Down the wire, Steve Blake was stellar again. His 2 threes under 4 minutes helped close the gap and his last second rebound and tip to Ramon Sessions was brilliant.

That’s right, Steve Blake scored 8 in the 4th quarter, blocked a layup by Galinari, and grabbed a key late rebound in perhaps his finest effort as a Laker. It was definitely great to watch!!!

Usually the game consists of Mitch Kasoff dominating play but this year might be different. (I do hope Mitch plays this year). What a great night it will be at College Park as the former Champions help kick off Mark Turgeon’s Maryland career.

My only comment is that LA disgraced themselves with their flagrant fouls when the game was out of reach.

Stu Vetter says that one day Kevin will be the best in the NBA. Look out for the Thunder.

Steve Blake misses game 1 with Chicken pox–Lakers lose as Chris Paul scores 33 for New Orleans.

Ray Allen hits a 3 to help defeat the Knicks. Billups might be out with ankle injury.
