OUCH!

Last friday night in the Lakers win over the Warriors Kobe Bryant Tore his left achilles.  His leg had been hurting the entire quarter and with three minute's left his tendon gave way as he was driving to the basket.

The next day after the MRI had confirmed the injury he went under the knife.  Surgery was successful but the Lakers star will not be back for 6-9 months!  But questions were raised that Kobe might not return and this will be the end of his career.  Hall of famers Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'neal ended their careers like this as well.  In my opinion he will come back for at least another season because he won't want to end his historic career like this.

Nets vs Bulls

Last night showdown in Brooklyn was a thriller!  Both teams will make the playoffs but are fighting for a higher seed and domination in the east.  The Bulls are pumped from ending the Heat’s win streak and the Nets are hot too.

The game started off with Brooklyn running up the score and playing defense too.  The first quarter ended with a 26-13 lead and the game running at a comfortable pace.  But the Bulls showed they had some fight in them outscoring the Nets in the second, and by the half it was 47-36 with the Nets still on top.

The second half was played by 7 players.  For the Nets Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, and Brook Lopez, and Nate Robinson, Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng, and Jimmy Butler.  Every one of these clutch guys had over 15 points except for Johnson who had 12 but knocked down some late threes.   In the end the Bulls ended out on top after Brook Lopez missed a buzzer shot.  

Yesterday in Louisville's victory against duke guard Kevin Ware gruesomely broke his leg trying to contest a shot.  He landed on his right leg and it buckled underneath him.  Right after the injury he told the coach not to worry about him and just win the game, that's exactly what they did.  He is a perfect example about how love of the game can get you through many hardships.
