LA Clippers defeat Detroit Pistons 104-96. Chris Kaman in front of his family in Detroit scored 26 points missing only two field goal attempts paving the way for a Clippers road victory over the Pistons. Baron Davis scored 25 points while Al Thornton added 19. The Clippers defense held the Pistons to 40% shooting and nine blocked shots bringing their losing streak to seven.

LA Lakers defeat Detroit Pistons 92-77. The last time the Lakers won a game at the Palace of Auburn Hills it was January 8, 2002. The Lakers won the last of their three-peat championships that season.

But the Lakers would come storming back in the second half using a 20-0 run to take back control. Kobe Bryant notched 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while Derek Fisher added 15 points and 12 points each for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. It was so bad that in the fourth quarter Kobe was serenaded with MVP chants in Detroit.

Colorado Rockies defeat LA Dodgers 3-0. How pathetic are the Dodgers? The only fireworks they displayed was in the bottom of the eighth inning when Matt Kemp and Rockie's catcher Yorvit Torrealba decided to go bush league and shove each other after getting tangled up after a strike three ball landed on the ground. The benches cleared, and both players got ejected and are likely to receive suspensions. Other than that it was a snoozer of a game. The Dodgers could not figure out Rockie's starter Jeff Francis despite only having one win and an ERA over six.

For a little perspective on what lies ahead for the next 30 days for this season’s Lakers, let’s drift back in time to 1988, the year when Jerry Falwell and Larry Flynt were battling each other in court, Nirvana was formed and Paula Abdul was forever our girl. In the NBA, a young Michael Jordan was scoring 35 points a game and dragging his Chicago Bulls teammates close to the top of the league. So...

But California Angels never quite worked, and who wants to be called the Anaheim Angels?
