Lakers at Cowtown game thread

[Venti Quattro]

Lakers by 12-15.

[Maverick421]

I agree, Lakers 5 - 0!

[Quit Hatin']

Kings calling this a rivalry game. I see them making some noise in the regular season, and make the 8th seed in the playoffs. 4 of the last 5 rookie of the years are in the western conference and all of them have been surrounded with talent.

[lefty]

Kobe with 50 pts tonight

[Nahtanoj]

Kobe with 50 pts tonight

That would actually require a close game.

[lefty]

That would actually require a close game.
Ok, then 49

[Giuseppe]

They'll be the first team to resist us since June. How will we respond?

[SomeCallMeTim]

Danger game tonight.

Lakers on BTB, and the Kings will be pumped for this one. Sac has assembled quite a bit of talent. This isn't their year but they'll beat a lot of great teams this season along the way.

I give LA no greater than 50/50 to win this one.

[Giuseppe]

^Tim, sayin' what I was afraid to.

[Nahtanoj]

Kings aren't that good on the boards, and Lakers have been destroying opponents in that area - will be interesting to see if that trend continues. Landry always play decent against L.A. though..

[TheMACHINE]

Kings will win. Sig bet anyone?

[RoddyBukkake]

Lakers by 20

[DeadlyDynasty]

Lakers by <10

[Ashy Larry]

just one of those games that would probably mean more to Sacramento than the Lakers.

[Killakobe81]

I Say Lakers by 6 but would NOt be surprised to see it by 6 the other way. I said Sacto wins it early last week ... but the team has made me change my mind.

[Koolaid_Man]

Laker win it should be fun...Artest will go off tonite...

[LkrFan]

The Lakers have a bench this year. BTB games are not really a factor - at least not this early in the season. PJ has stated that he wanted the Lakers to start blowing teams out. Therefore I expect them to come out focused and ready to play. Lakers by 13.

[z0sa]

Extremely vague opinion about final score and/or Kobe's points

bring it, bitches

Blake getting torched real good

Kobe might need 30ish for a Laker W tonight

[Venti Quattro]

Kobe with the hops!!! Props to Matty B for the dime

[Quit Hatin']

landry and udrih always manage to kill us no matter where they are and no matter who guards them.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Sacto hanging tough

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bean with 21 pts, 7 assists so far..not too shab

sick move

[DeadlyDynasty]

cue the "Lakers are getting all the calls" posts

[Quit Hatin']

fisher took a mean elbow to the head.

[Quit Hatin']

nooooooooooooooooice

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice...good look from Kobe to Barnes to end the half

[21_Blessings]

Barnes is a sneaky little shit. What a great signing

[Quit Hatin']

if that was luke walton i dont why but that play doesnt happen.

[Venti Quattro]

Barnes is a sneaky little shit. What a great signing

yeah great fucking signing :cry

[milkshakeballa]

This team just has a different "feel" to it. It seems like this team is still in only the 2nd or 3rd gear and they are blowing teams out.

The confidence is through the roof. Every single player is confident in each other. The guys ALL like each other.

I am not sure this team is going to lose more than 17 or 18 games this year. Once they really turn up the defensive intensity in the later portion of the year and the playoffs...look out. They are DEFINITELY not playing to their capabilities on defense right now (and I am PERFECTLY ok with this...they have earned this right after two titles...this is a marathon).

This just feels like it is going to turn into a VERY special year.....*health permitting*

[Ghazi]

Mavs wouldn't even beat the Lakers bench in the 1st round, straight up.

[Quit Hatin']

[atxrocker]

[DeadlyDynasty]

Pau is automatic

[DeadlyDynasty]

[DeadlyDynasty]

[21_Blessings]

How retarded is Mark Jackson

[Quit Hatin']

how sick would that be if kobe, pau, odom all got triple-dubs

[Quit Hatin']

Paul Westpaul- "try not to get dunked on" lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

Westphal's coaching advice: "Try not to get dunked on." crofl

[Jelloisjigglin]

Damn sons, Kobe is doin WORK tonight

[Quit Hatin']

man demarcus cousins is trigger happy from the three.

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn, beautiful pass from bean, gotta finish that Pau

[Quit Hatin']

no easy buckets

[21_Blessings]

Heh. The Laker starters were just toying with them in the 1st half I guess. They look bored out there.

[Quit Hatin']

shit just what i was scared of.

[DeadlyDynasty]

fuckkkkk..odom may have broke his thumb

[atxrocker]

haha.. hope that bitch broke his fucking hand. soft ass..

[Quit Hatin']

it was already injured wasn't it?

[Quit Hatin']

haha.. hope that bitch broke his fucking hand. soft ass..

classless fans will always stay classless.

[RedsLakers24]

Fuck, that scared me

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice, he just jammed it i guess

[21_Blessings]

haha.. hope that bitch broke his fucking hand. soft ass..

haha..hope that bitch C-Webb breaks his knee.

Wait, that already came true :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

oh cry me a fucking river. the irony of that statement coming from lakerfan isn't lost on me

[Jelloisjigglin]

oh cry me a fucking river. the irony of that statement coming from lakerfan isn't lost on me


:lol U MAD?

[Quit Hatin']

stupid dumass we didnt gloat when tyreke got hurt. just be glad we taking it easy on your team.

[HarlemHeat37]

Odom is the only likable player on the Lakers, I wouldn't wish an injury on him..he's the only guy on the team with a real personality..

If Kobe broke his knee, or even died though:lol..

[21_Blessings]

If Kobe broke his knee, or even died though:lol..

You're a Vince Carter fan.

[HarlemHeat37]

You're a Vince Carter fan.

What does that have to do with me laughing at Kobe breaking his knee?..

[BUMP]

crofl at these announcers desperately trying to hype up this Kings team. Just because they're on national TV with an amped up crowd doesn't mean shit.

Outside of dat 1 crossover from Evans it just looks like a bunch of D-leaguers in front a sellout crowd

[Jelloisjigglin]

Speaking of classless fucking fans.

[Jelloisjigglin]

lol Udrich always seems to play well against us

[DeadlyDynasty]

I wish these fuckers would just quit already

[21_Blessings]

lol Udrich always seems to play well against us

lol @ Steve Blake's career 111 defensive rating

[HarlemHeat37]

How is it classless?..

A rapist that can't walk properly is far less likely to rape somebody than a rapist with functioning legs..I'm just looking out for everybody, as usual, tbh..

[21_Blessings]

oh cry me a fucking river. the irony of that statement coming from lakerfan isn't lost on me

Odom heard ya

[DeadlyDynasty]

Odom doin' just finnnnnne

[TinTin]

:lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

BTW, Sacramento will never be relevant with the way they're building their team IMO..they have a lot of potential talent for the future, but Tyreke Evans is not a guy that can play championship team ball IMO, he needs to have an Iverson-like team built for him..they should be building with defensive players/finishers/shooters around him, instead of having a few other players that like having the ball IMO..

They should make some trades..

nugget fan summed it up best


LMAO the Mavs beat a team by one point that started an undrafted rookie and has a minimum contract guy starting at PF

The Mavs still blow

[BUMP]

nugget fan summed it up best

:lmao:lmao:lmao

crofl don't be mad cause you're team had 1 shot at relevancy all season and they're blowing it.

[Quit Hatin']

is it just me or does paul westphal look like greg popovich

[DeadlyDynasty]

is it just me or does paul westphal look like greg popovich

add a couple hundred zits and sure, i see it

[21_Blessings]

Take Blake the fuck out please

[Quit Hatin']

shannon brown really struggles on the road.

[DJ Mbenga]

cousins sure is confident. i see him KG style barking after every shot

[Jelloisjigglin]

Take Blake the fuck out please


And put in who? Fisher? He wouldn't do any better on D.

[21_Blessings]

And put in who? Fisher? He wouldn't do any better on D.

Fish is +24 tonight

[21_Blessings]

Steve Blake -14 for a pretty obvious reason

[Jelloisjigglin]

Fish is +24 tonight


You sure love stats huh? :lol He has done OK in this game, however.

[Quit Hatin']

i would like to see kobe, artest, barnes, odom, pau out there together.

[21_Blessings]

You sure love stats huh? :lol He has done OK in this game, however.

Blake is sucking a bag of dicks tonight on both ends

[DeadlyDynasty]

Close this shit out plz

[Quit Hatin']

technical

[Quit Hatin']

this shit is over now. kobe mad.

[Jelloisjigglin]

lol Garcia

[Th'Pusher]

Lol at Kobe's 17th tripple double. What is that average, like 1 per year?

[Jelloisjigglin]

Blake is sucking a bag of dicks tonight on both ends

He hasn't played too well in this game, no. It's early though and he's still adjusting to the system. He'll be fine.

[21_Blessings]

Blake is a backup at best and his defense is shit. They gave him too many years IMO

[HarlemHeat37]

Sacramento's shot selection is atrocious..

Lakers need to go to Kobe every time..

[Quit Hatin']

fisher proving why hes the starter

[IronMexican]

Take Blake the fuck out please

Blake fan?

[21_Blessings]

Blake fan?

Did you see him tonight?

[HarlemHeat37]

And put in who? Fisher? He wouldn't do any better on D.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

Look at this guy..

[Refocus]

Fish is so clutch..

[IronMexican]

Lol at Kobe's 17th tripple double. What is that average, like 1 per year?

Implying stats matter.

W's, breh.

[LkrFan]

Fish should have done the sack dance after that one. He balling! :lol

[Jelloisjigglin]

Blake is a backup at best and his defense is shit. They gave him too many years IMO

I'm fine with 4 years and the price wasn't too much IMO. I like Blake. Yes, he's not a GREAT defender but he does everything well. Good passer, good shooter, unselfish etc. Would you rather have we stayed with Farmar? There wasn't a lot of other options and we needed a PG in the worst way.

[IronMexican]

Did you see him tonight?

He's playing bad tonight breh, but it's only one game. And 5th in the regular season. He's a spot up shooter, anyways. As long as he's doing that, all is well.

[BUMP]

Fish should have done the sack dance after that one. He balling! :lol

21 is a UCLA fan, so he was riding Farmar pretty hard.

[21_Blessings]

He's playing bad tonight breh, but it's only one game. And 5th in the regular season. He's a spot up shooter, anyways. As long as he's doing that, all is well.

He wasn't doing that and they running layup drills on him all game. Has zero fucking ability to get around any kind of screen.

[DeadlyDynasty]

lmao...kobe doin' work

[Jelloisjigglin]

21 is a UCLA fan, so he was riding Farmar pretty hard.


Ahhhh ok i see. :lol

[Th'Pusher]

Implying stats matter.

W's, breh.

Not to me. But It likely gnaws at the back of kobe's weak mind.

[21_Blessings]

I'm fine with 4 years and the price wasn't too much IMO.

He's almost 31 and can be considered overpaid.

Just imagine how slow he's going to be at 34

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol, ron is such a pestering bastard...evans looks helpless

[IronMexican]

Not to me. But It likely gnaws at the back of kobe's weak mind.

Lakers > Kobe


As long as the Lakers are winning, I don't care who's doing it.

[21_Blessings]

21 is a UCLA fan, so he was riding Farmar pretty hard.

Riding him so hard I called Blake an overall upgrade?

:lol @ hating Barnes just because he went to UCLA

[Th'Pusher]

Lakers > Kobe


As long as the Lakers are winning, I don't care who's doing it.

Of course. Lakers rule!

[IronMexican]

Riding him so hard I called Blake an overall upgrade?

:lol @ hating Barnes just because he went to UCLA

I hate him for many other things besides going to UCLA. But if his play keeps up, all can be forgiven. I loved Ariza, and he was a Bruin.

[Jelloisjigglin]

He's almost 31 and can be considered overpaid.

Just imagine how slow he's going to be at 34


Eh, i don't see any real drop off yet. He's still pretty quick. I still say it was a good move no matter what happens. We needed someone that can actually run the second unit...

[Nathan89]

He's almost 31 and can be considered overpaid.

Just imagine how slow he's going to be at 34

If you're talking about blake who cares how he plays when he is 34, lakers need him for this years championship. Clearly a nice pickup.

[21_Blessings]

Blake is not "pretty quick". Not in any sense of the word.

It was a ok move but doesn't solve their PG D problem at all. And it was out-shined by the genius, frugal Barnes pick-up and drafting of Ebanks.

[Venti Quattro]

there goes the "intelligent" and "fit to the system" point guard that we brought in this off-season :cry

[DeadlyDynasty]

ya'll need to smoke the peace pipe...LA won again, all is good

[Quit Hatin']

another day, another win.

[Koolaid_Man]

was there ever any question you hatin muthafuckers...

[Jelloisjigglin]

ya'll need to smoke the peace pipe...LA won again, all is good


This. We have a fucking bench. That's all that matters. All is good indeed.

[Koolaid_Man]

I'm waiting for the 82-0 talk to begin...

[Quit Hatin']

98-0

[Koolaid_Man]

I'm game...that shit happens and I'll rent out the Nokia Theater myself for a day and throw a massive Laker celebration...

Will Pops hand you over that kind of cash?

[namlook]

So much for Kobe falling off a cliff this year.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe started off strong last season too..he was shooting the best FG% of his career through December, IIRC..then injuries hit him and age caught up..Laker fan will play the injury card though..

[21_Blessings]

So much for Kobe falling off a cliff this year.

Remember 2006? "Kobe's old, worthless without Shaq and slowing down. Lebron and Wade are going to win 8 out of the next 10 championships." :lmao

Remember 2006? "Kobe's old, worthless without Shaq and slowing down. Lebron and Wade are going to win 8 out of the next 10 championships." :lmao

:lol that never happened..

[namlook]

I do remember the past two seasons "Kobe is old and worthless and slowing down and this is Lebron's league now and the Cavs are the best team in basketball."

That did happen. Two years running.

[HarlemHeat37]

Last year?..yes..in 2006?..absolutely not..

[BanditHiro]

Remember 2006? "Kobe's old, worthless without Shaq and slowing down. Lebron and Wade are going to win 8 out of the next 10 championships." :lmao

well it was true if it didn't get Pau via collusion Kobe would be in the bulls or some shit like that and the lakers would have plummeted into mediocrity and you wouldn't be posting on this forum

[Giuseppe]

well it was true if it didn't get Pau via collusion Kobe would be in the bulls or some shit like that and the lakers would have plummeted into mediocrity and you wouldn't be posting on this forum

Instead we rang back-to-back and you took the pickle Vs. the Suns.

Just shows ta go ya.

[LkrFan]

well it was true if it didn't get Pau via collusion Kobe would be in the bulls or some shit like that and the lakers would have plummeted into mediocrity and you wouldn't be posting on this forum
And what happens if y'all don't tank to go lottery? Two can play that game. :toast

[IronMexican]

This happens at the beginning of every season, when the grey Laker fans join.

[namlook]

Add Carl Landry to Lebron's list. :lmao

"He's the best player in the game right now," Landry said. "He went out there and played hard, carried his team throughout the night and gave them the win."

[The Gemini Method]

Defense seemed to be in a little malaise last night. The Lakers are capable of smothering defense, but this wasn't the case for a good majority of the game agianst the Kings. Can't be mad at a 5-0 record and a triple-double that Kobe messed around and got. The Odom scare was enough to make me take notice, but he seemed to be alright. He's been playing out of his glucose-ridden mind since FIBA, so, losing him would've been 10x worse than starting the season w/o Bynum. How much longer do the Kings stay in the Sacred Cow Palace? I'm guessing not that much longer...contraction or moving to a new locale will probably be the fate given to the Kings.

[lefty]

So much of defense is effort and I think we'll see them conserve that effort quite a few times this season. As the ESPN announcers really hammered on last night, this team is pretty old by NBA standards. I don't have a problem with them taking it a little easy, even if it costs several games this year. They'll turn it up in the playoffs and big games.
