That Andrew Bynum for Earl Clark trade is looking pretty good these days, amirite?

For all wanting to bench Pau and start Earl, can't see it given Pau's status -- and value in Earl-sanity energy off Lakers' bench anyway.

D’Antoni likes the length/athleticism of Earl Clark without losing hoops skills (he can pass, handle, has shot going). Another good game.

Updating Dwight's right shoulder situation: He said he didn't have pain tonight, but the labrum remains torn
— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) January 14, 2013

Dwight Howard said the right shoulder that kept him out 3 games felt fine tonight; didn’t give him any problems.

This is the first time Kobe's played less than 35 minutes (28 tonight) since Dec. 28 vs. POR. Had played at least 40 in 13 of 15 games.
