With 2.6 seconds left on the game clock @KobeBryant went down hurt and in pain after Donhtay Jones STUCK his leg under him as he came back down from taking the possible game tying shot to even the game up at 94. Kobe rolled his ankle on the back of Jones foot and it doesn't look good. After the game the lakers officials said Kobe is out indefinitely with a severe ankle sprain and from the looks of it, it is severe. Kobe has yet to miss a game this season and I think he could use the rest. The Lakers upcoming schedule is soft enough to where The Lakers can hold off Utah for the 8th and final playoff spot in which they only hold a 1/2 game lead on with the exception of Indiana on Friday night. Out of the next 4 games the Lakers play only 1 team with a winning record (Pacers) and then Sunday back in Staples against The Kings (23-43), Monday in Phoenix (22-43) and on March 22nd they play @ home against the Washington Wizards (21-42). If the Black Mamba missed any games I'd prefer it be during this stretch. The Lakers should win 3 out of 4 of these games and with Pau Gasol set to return next week, The Lake Show will be fine.
