Lakers vs. Sixers game thread, December 3, 2008

[Lakers_55]

I'll start my first game thread. It will be interesting to see how the Lakers respond after playing giveaway last night. Plus, it's a back-to-back. Local LA station KCAL channel 9 ran a poll among the viewers about which game would be the toughest for LA on the 3 game road trip, this game was about 55%, Pacers 30% and Wizards 15%.

I think the loss last night will help us a lot. So will the next loss. Good luck to the Sixers and their fans.

should be a win. miller isnt a quick point guard and thats who have troubled the lakers thus far

[IronMexican]

Hopefully we can win this one, it would make yesterday feel better.

love the sixers but they're gonna get owned :(

[Lakers_55]

With digitial technology what it is today, Phil Jackson should superimpose Celtic uniforms over those worn by our opponents and make the Laker team watch their defensive lapses over and over again. Pry their eyes open as in Clockwork Orange and faces strapped to look forward only!

104-92 L.a.

It would definitely be nice to see the Sixers win this one!

What giveaway? An NBA game runs 48 full minutes. By the time the full 48 minutes ran out, Indiana had more points. That means they won. There were no giveaways. If you don't score more than your opponent, you don't win. Simple as that.

Indiana was expected to win that game. L.A. is not the same on the road. Again, Indiana was just taking care of business.

Turnover=Giveaway. My post stands.

I"m callin it now. Another loss to the run and gun sixers.

^ catch a case of SDitus? lol. 13 point game. lakers better win by 20 to prove a point to themselves. last night's 19 offensive boards were unacceptable

[IronMexican]

You guys saw Odumg freeze out there earlier?

[turiaf for president]

lol @ kobe's interview after. he said he was soo mad after last nites loss he didnt get a cheesesteak today. prolly from pat's or geno's

[Kobe™]

And that's a wrap!
{no pun intended}

[IronMexican]

Lol at the cheese steak thing on Kcal.

Still not happy about tonight's win. They're still not playing any defense. When I saw the halftime scores for games around the NBA, most of them were in the 51-38 range, while the Lakers gave away 51. And ended up giving 100+ pts yet again.

At one point in the 4th, I thought it was going to be deja vu when the 76ers went on that scoring run. Way too many layups and points in the paint for them, and it was way too easy. How can you allow the smallest guy to have score 20+ of his 26 pts in the paint?

Bynum only has 3 rebounds. That's horrible for a 7 ft guy who can easily avg 10+ with his length. On the plus side, Lakers shot a better FT %, which is what kept the game in double digits and out of reach any time 76ers made a run.

[Lakers_55]

Well, we are 15 and 2 and the rest of the west is chasing us. We'll figure out the defensive adjustments in time, season is early.

[KB24 MVP]

We Won so i guess they are not many haters around since the last buzzer sounded aginst the Sixers game

[IronMexican]

Kobe, you get that sig from TLN?

[hhml]

Wow, Rondo was unstoppable tonight. He had a triple double of 15 pts, 13 rebs, 17 assts. I hope the next time Lakers play the Pacers, they will destroy them just like the C's did tonight.
