Nice to see the Afghani elections were as filled with accusations of fraud as our elections. They learned well.

The first Laker preseason game with Kobe Bryant at the helm went as expected. They lost but Kobe got his 35 points. Worse part, there may be some decent talent in the roster but we may never know if Kobe doesn't share the ball. If he does start sharing, why couldn't he have shared last year when the Big Dude was on the team. Grrrrrr. The Lakers may have an up-tempo strategy for this year but they will get demolished whenever they face a team with a decent center or power forward. They might make the Playoffs but I'd be very surprised if they lasted past the second round.
