Artest's defense helps Lakers get past San Antonio

Near the end, after he had pick-pocketed the San Antonio Spurs repeatedly, after he had scored from near and far and grabbed his share of rebounds, Ron Artest turned to a few Lakers fans in the crowd and blew kisses to them.

Artest was a competely "animal" last night. WOW!

Wait till Tony Parker returns in the playoffs, who can make another 20 points like Hill did in the first half. Comparing the schedules of the Spurs and the Trailblazers, there is a good chance the Lakers will face the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs.

Well, I am glad that Coach Phil finally dumped that listless, free throw missing, defenseless group of players and found a new group that know how to play basketball. Way to go Phil!!

Coach Phil not only dumped them for the second half of the San Antonio game, he will leave them on the bench for the upcoming game in Oklahoma City.
