It’s Good Being Lee
-
President Clinton was the star tonight at the Garden. He was helping to raise more funds for Haiti. Again, the president was in his element and at his best. For more, go here.
For whatever reason, the Bricks didn’t want David Lee back before the season. They practically told him to go away, then tried to nickle and dime him, but eventually gave him $7 million to play. Go figure. They’re getting more than their money’s worth because Lee is playing like an All-Star (we’d guess he’ll get a spot, no?). Kobe acknowledged as much in an post-game interview. Against the Lakers tonight, he played the part. Lee dropped 31 and 17 plus 4 assists on Pau Gasol or whoever wasn’t keeping up. During one possession, Lee beat Gasol down the court for an easy layup, forcing an irate Phil Jackson to immediately call a time out and bark at the Spaniard as he headed for the bench. Lee came into the game averaging a double-double (19.1 points and 11.2 rebounds), but he’s been better than that for a club 8 games under .500.
Of course they couldn’t overcome a balanced attack from the Lakers, who had six players score in double figures with Kobe leading the with 27. Gasol bounced back from his mediocre night against Cleveland by scoring 20, grabbing 8 board and recording 4 blocks. Andrew Bynum also played much better, scoring 19 and hauling down 6 rebounds. Still, this is the Knicks.
