Oklahoma City is playing in a rare Saturday afternoon game when they face off against the Los Angeles Lakers (4-22) at 4 pm today inside of Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The others are also on borrowed time now as they are also already up there in age just like Bryant, who is now 37 years old.

Kobe played one of his best games of the season on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Players, like D’Angelo Russell, wanting to play a certain way, but a head coach and maybe a front office doing its best to sustain a losing framework and keep this about being Bryant’s retirement tour, as if to blur the tanking from sight. I’ve always liked that about him. “I told them at halftime, ‘You look scared”.

Howard has a player option for $23.2 million next year, but likely will become a free agent instead, but says this is just a common sense move because it allows him to sign a long term contract at superstar salary prices.

Even on the bench, Bryant remained the focus of conversation. Drexler may have been on his way out, but “Clyde the Glide” was an all-time great and clearly made an impression on Bryant.

Each team was playing its second game in as many days, but while the Knicks were coming off a straightforward win over the hapless Philadelphia 76ers, the Bulls lost in quadruple-overtime to the Detroit Pistons on Friday night and didn’t even get to their NY hotel until almost 5:00 am, coach Fred Hoiberg said.

Bryant then missed his first six shots, including three 3-pointers, before making a layup late in the first quarter.

The Lakers’ point total was their second-lowest this season and the lowest by an Oklahoma City opponent since the Thunder beat the Miami Heat 93-75 on March 22.

That left the Lakers without a player who can create his own shot, and an experienced team like the Thunder took full advantage of that glaring weakness.

Steven Adams goes up for the alley-oop against the Los Angeles Lakers. The defense had gotten so bad recently that Mitchell was forced to return the veteran Prince to the starting lineup for stability.

The Lakers are off until Tuesday, when they visit the Denver Nuggets.

“That was pretty heavy-duty surgery I had this summer, so I think it’s kind of logical to expect it to be sore at some point”, Bryant said.

“The Sacramento Kings in the playoffs were tough”, Bryant said next, referring to one of his team’s fiercest rivals, whom they faced and defeated in consecutive playoff series from 2000-2002.
