The one Laker game I miss all season
I am proud to say that I am a die hard Los Angeles Lakers fan. I pretty much watch every game o
f the season and on the rare occasion that I do miss a game, there is a valid reason for it. That being said, last night was the first game of the season that i missed. For starters, they were playing the Clippers, who only have 8 wins on the season, so I wasn’t too worried that the Lakers were going to lose. But more importantly, last night was the season premiere of Lost, probably the only television premiere that could get me to miss a Lakers game. The two hour premiere episodes were incredible, but somehow may have been overshadowed by the one Laker game all season I decided not to watch. Not only did Kobe Bryant have his second triple-double in the last three games, but Andrew Bynum had a career game. 42 points 15 rebounds and 3 blocks. Ridonkulous. Besides Kobe, Shaq was the last Laker to score 40 points in a game, and that was back in 2003. So the first milestone game for somebody other than Izzo since 2003, and I missed it. Damn you Lost!
