Two teams hit with major injuries and challenges, I had no idea how this game would turn out. Though the Celtics have won their last 6 without Rajon Rondo and promising rookie Jared Sullinger, how would the Lakers match up ? Well the lost of Pau Gasol out the next 6 weeks do to injury he sustained against the Nets, had a huge impact on LA. Despite the return of Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant's 27 points, they lost 116-95. Bad ball handling and transition defense, not a good game for a team trying to make the playoffs. Their was a lot of talk about Dwight's shoulder injury and his lack of urgency to play. I think that every player should hustle and stay aggressive especially when faced with a challenge. Dwight is the only one who knows how much pain he is in and how to get through it. We can only hope that he uses all this speculation and turn it into motivation, to help the Lakers make the playoffs.
On the upside the Celtics played very well. Paul Pierce with 24 points and 7 rebounds, Jeff Green, impressive with 19 points. Big Congratulations to Kevin Garnett who became the 16th player in NBA history to score 25,000 in his career.

very informative , in regards to Kobes feelings towards Howard's injury & him not playing , its kind of a agree to disagree. I feel like Kobes expectations for Howard are to high. It's better to let him heal at his own pace , but still Howard needs to rise to the occasion & help out his team in need
