This is my Friday night ... 2 and a half months back, my buds and I decided we wanted to actually go to a Lakers game. We were trying to decide which game to go. Back and forth we went, ultimately we decided on the Memphis Grizzlies, I wanted to see a team that would be better. Haha funny decision I thought, but being that Pau Gasol, a big man that can score, was on the team I agreed. February 1st rolls by, and tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Gasol gets traded to the Lakers. I was all stoked but in the back of my mind I was bummed becuase I just knew that the Lakers were going to route Memphis. I still get to see Gasol play so Im good with that

I read articles on the Gasol trade, some of them saying how much farther the Grizzlies would fall without Gasol. I was still looking forward to the game though, being that I would get to see and route aand my Lakers would get a V toward the end of the season.

And then comes March 15, I think that's the date, Gasol gets hurt and is helped off the court. To make a long story short, I just knew he would come back in time to see the Lakers beat up on the Grizzlies. So comes the Wednesday before the game. I read in the Times that Gasol would definitely miss the Memphis game. :P lol ok I thought to myself the Lakers will still win!

Friday arrives and we get to Staples about 45 mins early... we were thirsty so of course we got up and got something to drink ;). We sit down and watched the game, nothing could go wrong, the Lakers were going to win, I mean they were playing the lowly Memphis Grizzlies playing without Gasol. The end of the game rolls around and um well this outing was never meant to be the way I pictured it. There was 1 highlight, Kobe's 53 points... Just when I thought the Lakers were getting a more balanced offensive attack, so much for expectations. Final score Grizzlies 114 Lakers 111. I did see Gasol sit on the bench though :).
