Tell us how Kobe's finger is.

AHA You see K0be4mvp..it really is a temp picture...how dare we leave Odom as #9? No real big deal, but I'd rather have a cool action shot of your choice K0be4mvp...with of course Odom's real number...to be 100% authenticate. Let me know if you can email me a pic.

LA Lakers 103, Dallas 90
Lakers on a hot streak

LOS ANGELES, Wed. 15 Dec (Ticker) -- Even though being injured, Kobe Bryant showed that he is not giving up just like that.

As the Lakers star helped the Los Angeles Lakers get their seventh straight win as they beat the Dallas Mavericks with a 103-90 score. Bryant led the game in scoring with 25 points in just 20 minutes while shooting 11 from 17 around the field including 3 from 5 three-pointers. Bryant broke his against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, it was the same thumb that he injured earlier this season, but he is not been placed on the Injured List and can keep on playing trough the pain.

"If Im capable of playing, then you will see me on the court" Bryant said after the game. "I just have to ignore the pain and help my team to get a win"

The Lakers were not the only team who had "problems" with injuries. Erick Dampier and Michael Finley who are both starters for the Mavericks also played while being injured as they got limited minutes during theyre loss. During the second quarter of the game, Lakers starting center Chris Mihm bumped into Jerry Stackhouse and strained his achilles tendon on the play. Mihm was forced to go to the locker-room but was able to return to the game and most likely wont miss any game. However, the loss of Chris Mihm gave Vlade Divac a chance to shine as he made a personal 8-0 run against the Mavericks to get the lead back. Divac finished the game with 18 points while scoring 14 during the first half.

Lamar Odom who shot above .650% from the field the last couple of games, had a off-night shooting the ball as he was able to just make 5 out of his 19 shots. Odom however grabbed 11 boards and did a good job on passing the ball as he finished the game with 6 assists, Chucky Atkins led the game in assists with 7.

"Stuff like that happens" Odom said. "When you realize that your shots are not falling, you got to step up with other parts of the game."

Jerry Stackhouse and Jason Terry led the Mavericks in scoring, but it was not enough to get a win as they lost the game by 13 points. The Lakers have a 27-1 record in during the last 28 games both teams played in Los Angeles. The Mavericks beat the Lakers last year on their Staples Center court for the first time in 26 years. The Mavericks are looking to come off their 3 game losing streak while the Lakers will face the new Charlotte Bobcats team tomorrow.

does this dude have no life or what?

LOL...What?!?

If you havent checked the title of this thread. I decided to put a end to this NBA Live franchise today. Although I liked working on it, it just takes to much time to do the stuff that I did for this dynasty. Ive been busy with school, work, basketball etc lately so I basicly dont really have the time to wright recaps, and keep other things updated. I will play on with this Lakers team, but I wont post anymore.

I want to thank the people who voted for me for the best dynasty, and everyone that posted over here (except bestclubowner obviously). I hope you enjoyed the work that I showed for about 22 games.

Too bad, your dynasty was great...

i agree........good show, old chap

k0be4mvp

hope to see you back if (when?) you become an unemployed bum with no life like myself

yeah nice job, its gettin harder for me to find time to do everything with b-ball so i know how that is.good show anyhew

Sucky to see the 'insider view' of your Dynasty come to an end... like I said before you surely had one of the 'tightest' Dynasty designs.

Since you're still playing your Dynasty, please continue sending your PSTAT files, kay?

Keep playing in the spirit of Kareem Rush(we'll miss you Rushy baby)

Damn, this was great. Would this be the Dynasty Wall everyone seems to be hitting all of a sudden? Cocobee with talks, CK ending, you ending, and others.

Damn shame, but I guess people have lives these days.

I know you're out there...still playing your Dynasty...

flash flash flash...you have been bumped off the #1 on the Birdie Board...

...needing an updated pstat from you when you get 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or all the way through your next season.

...message will self destruct.

- Honor Glow, aka the Birdie board dude

I was updating the LiveDynasty.com global map of NLSC dynasty's when I realized that K0be4mvp is the only NLSC person that I don't know what coutry, city, or state/province he lives in...(I'm a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad boy)

For updating purposes, does anybody know off the top? Even if you just know the country that should work too...

Thanks everyone.
