I know you were just joking - no offense taken. Here's hoping you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving.

ref advantage? you don't need that when you have the flop advantage (Parker and Manu).

flopping doesn't win games refs do, at least we agreed on the refs advantage

To be fair, Brooklyn locked you down, as well. But the main the reason both teams scored low in the second half was all the freethrows being called (most which came by way of Hack-a-Chimp), slowing the pace of the game down.

Yeah, they were talking about that on the Laker boards too. Interesting to see that D-Will shot 6-18 against the likes of Morris and Duhon. He should have dominated those two easily. Now I know, when Nash gets back he won't be able to guard D-Will either. But at least Nash will be more of an offensive threat. This will be key because most PGs have the night off defensively which gives them the opp to go full bore offensively.

Missed the game, but the fact is they held the Nets to 42% shooting which is a big plus for a D'Antoni-coached team. I see that Kobe, Pau, and D12 went 23/41 FGAs. Especially with Nash, I expect them to carry us offensively. Thing is, will they be able to play enough defense for the Lakers to advance deep in the playoffs? I'm in the "show me" mode right now, tbh. Although this was a good start.

i think if the refs wanted the Lakers to win, they would be on le number four in a row or the Mavs wouldn't have won their lone le. I mean there were a few calls that went against Darius Morris against Deron Williams that weren't brought up. , I'll be the first to say a few of those calls for the Lakers were chicken bleep.

And flopping does help win games. Manu and Parker go into the lane and fall like hoes on their backs and get free points. That's an advantage. Hope they ordered extra checks for when those fines come rollin' in.

Says the guy that had Fisher on the team all those years for all those free points.

And Kobe and Pau scream like little es every single time they go into the lane..."AAAAAAYYY!"...and get free points. That's an advantage.

Nets gave 'em a good game. Too bad they couldn't pull out a win.

[The Gemini Method]

Watching the Lakers this season will a) increase Pringles sales across the board. b) increase the incessant whining by non-Laker fans all over the board and c) more paint needed to touch-up the rims after the putrid freethrow performance by DHoward and the likes. 5-1 on this homestand with the loss coming by 2 to the Spurs--better than the 1-4 start but still not where the team needs to be. Will be interesting to see the team with all of its parts together.

like i been sayin, lakers goin thru a long process
