Battle of Gasols

[ElNono]

lmao Tony Allen taking shots

[ElNono]

I forgot no ZBo for Memphis

[ElNono]

Come on Koby... I need you shooting at the FT line

[Spur_Fanatic]

Keep like that Kobe! No FT's!

[ElNono]

Bynum beasting per the course, as usual

[ElNono]

nobody watching this? Murphy "red hot"

[PGDynasty24]

Nice shot by P. Gasol

[pass1st]

Gay shoving Bynum's shit in a little too late

[ElNono]

Rudy Gay's athleticism is ridiculous, tbh

[ElNono]

3 points falling tonight

[pass1st]

Bynum looks rough on offense sometimes

[pass1st]

Peace taking candy from a gay

[ElNono]

Peace

[LkrFan]

MWP yoked on Rudy Gay!?!?? :lmao

[pass1st]

If LAL loses, it's always 3pt shooting, turnovers or Kobe. All 3 seem like they aren't a problem now, so looks like we will be getting a W sans a meltdown after the half.

[pass1st]

Lol, Murphy is going to foul out this quarter

[InRareForm]

LOL @ Kobe's travel

[pass1st]

Pau saving Kobe's random chucking

[InRareForm]

11 pts off turnovers

[pass1st]

Turnovers creeping up on us

[LkrFan]

Kobe goes into Fat Gasols body - no foul. Soft Gasol shoots a fadeaway - foul. In this case I will take it, but :rolleyes

[pass1st]

Nice pass Pau, &1 for Mr. Bynum

[LkrFan]

Nice pass Pau, &1 for Mr. Bynum

Should have finished with a dunk.

[ElNono]

Are we gonna get some random stat like "when murphy scores 8, Lakers don't lose" ?

[pass1st]

Why we gotta make the stupidest turnovers, Barns with a bullet pass to nobody

[pass1st]

Should have finished with a dunk.

I'd rather have a layup, Bynum doesn't have to jump as high.

[pass1st]

Lol, choking the lead early

[Spur_Fanatic]

Kobe playing team ball. I'm surprised.

[pass1st]

Kobe with the usual wtf shot, lakers heating up

[pass1st]

Rudy gay with that athleticism

[DPG21920]

:wow Rudy Gay. My goodness.

[pass1st]

Kobe surprises me sometimes

[DPG21920]

:wow Kobe right back

[Spur_Fanatic]

Kobe playing an efficient game so far. I'm gladly surprised.

[Donkeybong]

got fouled on the head too

[ElNono]

goddamn, property prices still kinda high

[pass1st]

I'm surprised we're winning with 10 more TOs than the Grizz and they are usually cashing in on our TOs.

[pass1st]

Wow, how many failed oops have we had?

[007nites]

How is Marc Gasol doing?

[pass1st]

how is marc gasol doing?

0-8

[007nites]

It seems by the looks of things that Showbe is playing quite well.

[Killakobe81]

Memphis is a tough team for us Conley/Gay can beat anyone on our team down the court in transition ...

[pass1st]

lol third Gasol brother and 6'10 already.

[Killakobe81]

lol third Gasol brother and 6'10 already.

Man, if he had Pau's ball skills and Marc's toughness ... :wow

[Donkeybong]

lol third Gasol brother and 6'10 already.

i heard a couple of years ago he had no interest in playing basketball though. Has he changed his mind already?

[DPG21920]

Coach Quin!

[Killakobe81]

Coach Quin!

Hey, Brown may have his flaws but his staff is well qualified. Like i said I wasnt happy with the choice, but he has started to win me over ...and his staff is probably one of the best.

[007nites]

lol third Gasol brother and 6'10 already.

I heard he's 17 years old and is 6'11" 245.

[Killakobe81]

good defense by Marc in this game he contests shots very well ...

[ElNono]

what happened? I was looking at houses and suddenly it's a 4 point game?

[Banzai]

Game blouses

[Killakobe81]

Bench killing us again ...

I dont get why they dont play Pau with this unit. Bynum is improving as a passer but the 2nd unit needs Pau's floor-game to get good looks.

Bynum is not ready to take on that role fully ...

[DPG21920]

That is what I love about Marc. Hasn't scored, but defends tough and has 9 REB, 7 AST, 3 STL and 1 BLK.

[pass1st]

Lol, 21 TOs, this team

[Killakobe81]

Marc has great active hands on defense

[pass1st]

Finally, took 4 minutes to score

[ElNono]

why is Memphis chucking and chucking and where is Rudy Gay?

[pass1st]

Barnes showing up and stopping the Grizz from catching up

[Killakobe81]

Barnes should remain the starter and Artest and Ebanks should rotate as the backup ...

[Killakobe81]

If you turn the ball over 24 times ...

[Spur_Fanatic]

24 TO's, whoa. And yet leading.

[ElNono]

tony allen gonna kill somebody one day

[pass1st]

24 TO's, whoa. And yet leading.

And I think like 26 points off TOs

[lefty]

Kobez wantz hiz pointz !!!!!!

[Killakobe81]

Kobez wantz hiz pointz !!!!!!

9 assists genius ...

[lefty]

9 assists genius ...

Because he couldnt shoot, they forced him to pass

He had no choice

[ElNono]

I think MEM should be happy with this game on the road and without zbo

[pass1st]

Bynum is getting crowded in there, still battling

[Spur_Fanatic]

I don't get it. Lakers with all those TO's, and Grizzlies yet can't win it.

That's terrible.

[pass1st]

Let's go for 30

[Killakobe81]

I think MEM should be happy with this game on the road and without zbo

Fair enough but we cut those TO's in half this is a blowout ...

[Killakobe81]

Bynum needs to finish that foul or no ...

[ElNono]

Fair enough but we cut those TO's in half this is a blowout ...

no doubt

[DJ Mbenga]

I think MEM should be happy with this game on the road and without zbo

can't count on 28 turnovers and Poindexter to have a career high and speights to have a great game all the time

[Killakobe81]

a win is a win ...

Need a road one though ...

[DPG21920]

I'm not knocking Kobe, his assists are up but honestly, if you have two of the games top 10 bigs shouldn't you be assisting a ton?

[pass1st]

Bad game for Marc, even though he did decent on defense

[ElNono]

a win is a win ...

Need a road one though ...

You guys also have road blues?

[Killakobe81]

I'm not knocking Kobe, his assists are up but honestly, if you have two of the games top 10 bigs shouldn't you be assisting a ton?

Agree, but some of it is on Pau too ... he needs to be more aggressive

[LkrFan]

The Good: Lakers Outrebound Memphis 53-34; 24 assists; Lakers held Fat Gasol FG-less
The Bad: Lakers only scored 90 points at home to a team without their 2nd best player
The Ugly: 27 TOs

On to the next :wakeup

[pass1st]

I have a feeling Bynum won't be beasting like his first few games suggested this season.

[DPG21920]

Dude, 15/15 isn't beasting? I know he wasn't super efficient but good defense and those numbers?

[Donkeybong]

He looked winded towards the end of the game

[DJ Mbenga]

looks like if Bynum gets doubled he seems to not know what to do.

[Killakobe81]

Dude, 15/15 isn't beasting? I know he wasn't super efficient but good defense and those numbers?

Agree, plus Marc is a good defender ...

[LkrFan]

Dude, 15/15 isn't beasting? I know he wasn't super efficient but good defense and those numbers?

Agreed. Drew needs to stop being cute around the basket. A few lay up attempts that he missed should have been dunks IMO. I'm happy with his play overall though.

[pass1st]

Dude, 15/15 isn't beasting? I know he wasn't super efficient but good defense and those numbers?

5/14 and 5 TOs isn't beasting to me

[DPG21920]

He played against one of the premier big man defenders. He has work to do most notably passing, but 15/15 is beast.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

looks like if Bynum gets doubled he seems to not know what to do.
The only effective way for big men to deal with double teams is experiencing more of them. With more touches Bynum will see more double teams and become a better passer. IMO he still is playing well though. Him stepping up big on the boards has done a lot for them to replace Odom.

[Killakobe81]

Tonight I was pleased with:

Pau, Kobe, Bynum, Barnes and Blake ...
