Lakers on Saturday nights gave enough points to Kobe, from the free-throw line, passed Wilt to become the 4th highest all time scorer in the NBA. WTG Kobe. Lakers.com said

Continuing his assault up the list of the NBA's greatest scorers in history, Kobe Bryant became the fourth greatest to ever fill up the basket with 19 points at Sacramento on Saturday night, having needed only five to surpass Wilt Chamberlain's 31,419 career points.

The game vs Sac was close but we took the W. We played a well rounded game with Kobe scoring 19, 14 assists, and 9 boards, we had may players scoring in double digits. Dwight Howard added 24 points and 15 rebounds, Blake had 15 points, Meeks 14, Pau had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Jamison had 10 points with 7 rebounds.

The Lakers will retire Shaq's jersey tomorrow night when we play the Mavs.

[Gargantuan]

He deserves it. Gar

[Dr T]

He does Gar. He was a force in the middle for sure. :)

[Gargantuan]

How is Kobe doing? Is he going to retire? I heard that he is going to retire.

[Dr T]

I guess he said he will wait for the summer to make a decision on retirement.

[Dr T]

Shaq's jersey was retired tonight. His comments were nice, humble, and he expressed his appreciation of the Lakers organization, family and fans. Kobe had some nice words for him and Phil Jackson also shared some moments with the big man. It was nice to watch.

On the night the Lakers retired Shaquille O'Neal's jersey, they topped the Mavs 101-81 at home Tuesday. Kobe Bryant got his second triple-double of the season with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Los Angeles moved into a tie with Utah for the final playoff spot in the West with seven games left.

Howard had 24 points and 12 rebounds, Clark had 17, points 12 boards and Pau had 14, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

We face the Clippers next.

I'm sorry we face Memphis next. We play them starting at 7:30 at Staples on Friday night.

[Dr T]

YEAH BABY! Lakers took the win over Memphis last night! It was very tight at the end but we pulled it off.

Four players scored in double figures as the Lakers edged the Grizzlies 86-84 at STAPLES Center on Friday night. The Los Angeles Lakers are currently half a game ahead of Utah for the final eighth playoff spot in the West.

We get the Clippers next.

The Lakers (40-36) play the role of visitor as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers (50-26) this afternoon at STAPLES Center. Early tip is scheduled for 12:30pm PT. Watch it live on ABC This is where is shows if my boys have what it takes. Come on LAKERS!

After capturing their franchise-record 50th victory, the Los Angeles Clippers have an opportunity to reach another milestone.

Fittingly enough, it could come against their Staples Center co-tenants.

The Clippers look to clinch the first division title in their 42-year history and deliver a big blow to the Los Angeles Lakers' playoff hopes Sunday.

above from here: Lakers at Clippers - April 7, 2013 - Game Preview, Play by Play, Scores and Recap on NBA.com The stage is set and I bet they want to put us in our place in LA. We need to step up.

We were schooled last night by the Clips.

Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant each scored 25 points, but the Lakers fell to the Clippers 109-95 on Sunday afternoon. Pau Gasol had a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. Earl Clark added 11 points off the bench.

I'm not used to this.

[Gargantuan]

How far are we behind the Jazz? Is that one game out?

[Dr T]

The Lakers (40-37) continue their final playoff push as they host the New Orleans Hornets (27-50) tonight at STAPLES Center. Tip is set for 7:30pm PT.

[Dr T]

Hi Gar,

As we stand right now, we are .5 games behind Utah but they have the tie-breaker if we are even in the standings. We need to win every game.

[Dr T]

Earl Clark was involved in a 2 car accident on Tuesday. I have no idea how serious it was but it just said he was in an accident from Lakersnation.com

[Dr T]

The Lakers take back the eighth spot in the West on Tuesday by earning a 104-96 home win over the Hornets. Kobe Bryant scored 23 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. The Lakers are now a half-game ahead of the Jazz.

I thought Utah had to win all their games and we would be out. What happened? Who did Utah lose to?

[Dr T]

With four games left in the regular season, the Lakers (41-37) travel to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers tonight at the Rose Garden. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00pm PT.

We have a hard time winning in Portland but they are having a difficult time and it is our time to capitalize and take one on the road. We are back in control of our destiny. We need to win in spite of facing a difficult schedule at the end of this season. I can't give up. GO LAKERS!

[Gargantuan]

I think the Jazz lost to the OK Thunder.

Kobe Bryant was phenomenal yet again Wednesday night, scoring a season-high 47 points in the Lakers' 113-106 win over the host Trail Blazers. Pau Gasol had 23 points while Dwight Howard added 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Portland came out with a 41 point first quarter! We had 33 in the first which is not too shabby. We kept playing and had 9 blocks and we went on two runs and came out with a victory! We are now one game ahead of Utah with 3 left to play.

[Gargantuan]

Dr. T, I wanted to thank you for hanging in with the Lakers’ updates and posts. Over time, they have been helpful to me. I’m sure that all who read these posts have genuinely appreciated your efforts.

[Dr T]

Thanks Gar but I know for a fact there are a number of people, like Pammy for example that does not like them but thanks for the support :) Utah plays Memphis 3 times still at the end and we face OKC again so we will see if we get in. We can do it!
