Look at all the Lakers fans at the Izod Center. Kobe goes out and he gets an ovation. Nets don't even get that when they win. Really tells you something.

The Lake Show have always drawn big crowds to CAA. A LOT of people are Laker fans. I tried going to a game a few years ago (Shaq was still in LA. It was the game where he dunked right on Collins' back) with my dad, and we planned to buy tickets at the box office. The people in front of us literally got the last tickets. Luckily, they started selling the handicap seats at the top of the lower tier right as we got our turn at the window. (Those were amazing seats, btw). Anywho, not surprised to see lots of LA fans at the game. It's been this way for years.

Which was worse, the Lakers getting ovations and cheered or the Knicks game where Knicks fan were louder rooting for their even crappier team?
That stunk RJ getting hit really took him out the game. I guess thats how we are gonna work in Kristic, 12 seconds a game. We should at leat get one minute twenty seconds from Swift tommorow, At least VC looked healthy tonight. Nice to see him jump high and throw one down.
I want to bring up something regarding Mark Jackson. On a fastbreak attempt in the 2nd quarter, RJ was going for a layup and Odom came over and in an attempt to prevent the layup tried to block the shot but fouled RJ who missed the shot. On the replay it was a CLEAR FOUL on Odom against RJ but Mark Jackson was commentating how it could have gone either way? I was like WTF? What is he talking about? It was an obvious foul and the reason RJ missed the layup. I don't mind the home team commentators trying to be objective but it seems Mark Jackson tries too hard at it and gives the Nets the short end of the stick on calls sometimes. I missed the first quarter and some of the 2nd but they also mentioned that Carter thought a foul call went against him earlier on and he came over and asked Mark Jackson what happened and Mark told Carter otherwise. I missed that call. Did Carter have a point and did Mark Jackson just go against the Nets again?
