Lakers Suns 1/5/11

[jagu]

Let's go Suns!! I hope we can win this game, would be a good confidence booster for the team and the fans.

 

[leclerc]

Yeah right. Put me down for another L.

Go Suns though! Kill Kobe! (metaphorically speaking)

Should see both Grant Hill and Pietrus on Kobe. Going to be interesting to see if Coach Gentry tries to out-small the big front line of the Fakers. If he doesn't try Lopez and Gortat in there at the same time I'm jumping through a window. Why not play your best players at the same time? Is there a law against having two C's on the floor simultaneously?

If we play Hill on Gasol then I guess I can get an early night's sleep.

I am calling the fire department right now to hold a safety net out your window. Or I at least hope you watch the game on the first floor.

 

[jagu]

I hope the +/- stats are decent at the end of the game. That's all that matters anyway.

I can't think of anyone on this roster that could be plugged in against Gasol other than possibly Gortat. We could try fronting him with our point guard and letting someone like Hill play behind him. Foul problems notwithstanding, he shouldn't go off for more than 40 against us that way.

Face it, even with Amare, we match up poorly with these guys. The only way to beat them is the one in five method where we worry solely about offense and if we get really hot, we win (we get that hot about 20% of the time it seems to me).

Well Lopez looks drunk when he is playing, and Gortat sounds drunk in the interviews, so maybe the drunken masters can play together. It would be nice considering the Lakers size has used us the last couple years.

Yea your right, there is no one other than Gortat which means that we need some big dude to guard Bynum. I have a feeling we'll see Frye guarding Gasol to begin the game though which means that Gortat will have a lower +/- than Lopez, thus making Lopez the better player.

 

[FArting]

Go Suns!

 

[jibikao]

I have a funny feeling that Suns wins tonight but it doesn't mean much because they'll lose the next three.

Numbers don't lie.

I called off the fire department. I hear it's happening.

 

[Proteus]

I can't believe this game is bumped back to 8:30 due to high school football.

 

[AzStevenCal]

There's only one lineup that gives us a fair chance to win tonight. Start Nash, Dudley, Pietrus, Hill, Frye and Gortat.

The NBA should have a penalty box which allows teams to play with advantages like the one above!

Of course, that means the Kings could start Evans, Udrih, Garcia, Cousins, Thompson, Landry and Casspi against us and we couldn't handle them the old-fashioned way. Still, anything to even the playing field vs the Lakers. Maybe it should go the other way, LA has to play with just Fisher, Kobe, Odom and Gasol.

[AfroSuns]

Not sure about this starting lineup, hope it helps.

 

[AfroSuns]

one more foul and there is no backup C, should Robin himself get into foul trouble

 

[Proteus]

Hmm...Suns give up offensive rebound on the 1st Lakers possession despite having Gortat and Lopez both on court. Not a good sign.

 

[Proteus]

And two more offensive rebounds on the next Lakers possesion. Rebound the freaking ball guys.

 

[tobiazz]

Wow, the way Robin let Bynum get that rebound and put it back in was terrible.

 

[Proteus]

Nice layup by Carter.

 

[AfroSuns]

Wow, Carter cant guard Artest

Are you serious? You are joking right, the first possession doesn't mean jack amigo. The Lakers are gonna get theirs, we just need to try and get some of ours. Leave these guys in, have them bang the boards hard, I like it.

 

[Proteus]

I can't believe Hill blew that layup on the fast break.
