The 2007-08 Los Angeles Lakers thread

[Brian in Mesa]

Too bad NEZ isn't around to kick off another Suns Suck thread. The first was closed back in May because "the season was over..."

 

[Gee!]

You really believe his intentions were honorable? He was a wannabe Howard Stern shock jock..

I saw him at the panthers game and couldnt believe the dude didnt even acknowledge us.. He skipped out on alot of things he wanted set up for him, like tickets.. He didnt like the lakers.. just went against the grain to piss folks off..

No. I even called him on it on the first page of that old thread. He was never a Lakers fan. Then again - anyone can start a Suns Suck thread.

You want to talk about being EXPOSED...?? Planet Orange was declassified the other night.

You saw him at the Panthers game? I've been looking for him at the games and haven't seen him. Did he move seats?

Lakers are on tonight at 6:30 Pacific vs. the Jazz.

Game can be seen on NBA League Pass, which is currently in its free trial mode.

Great win. Farmar was nails...bynum looked fantastic. Kobe played great.

Team win...and built around defense.

2-1. Holding down the fort for Odom.

Very fun game last night. Sharing the ball and stopping the ball on D will result in a lot of wins.

I love Bynum.

Outstanding interview with Jordan.

"The wins are a product of the way we are going about out business."

Kobe on there too...interesting thing he mentions is about Jordan and Bynum's differences. Last year and this year Jordan is the same...confident with a chip on his shoulder. Bynum was like Linder, shy and reserved on the court and this year he's starting to "break out of that shell." I can definitely agree with that. Bynum was so damn sissysoft last season it hurt. He looks like a changed man.

And the unspoken word is that Smush being gone has done wonders to this team working hard...especially on D. Kobe doesn't have to cover for Smush anymore and can now operate freely on defense. And it is showing.

Peja absolutely destroyed the Lakers tonight. They had a small lead in the fourth, but just could NOT hit shots down the stretch and a close game ballooned into a 14 point loss.

Defense wasn't as active.

Peja can shoot his ass off.

Couldnt sleep after softball and was hungry for my leftover Chipotle, so I nuked my food and turned on the 4th.

My take
Peja was ridiculous.
Lakers perimeter D was terrible.
Chris Paul's 21 assists were disgusting.
Bynum is looking fantastic.

Bynum had a so-so game. Bright spots followed by weak shots. They had to start Mihm with Kwame out...1Q defense really suffered. Shots did not fall, at all, unless your name was Peja or Kobe.

Wasted a damn fine game from Kobe with 7 dimes and 6 boards. Guys left a lot of assists on the floor.

Cook is flipping worthless.

Kobe had two incredible blocks.

Fish was off.

Bynum, while not shooting very well, was rebounding like a madman.

Odom might be back friday.

I'm getting league pass.

Hey Lakerdudes, didn't Bynum start out looking great (relatively) last year?

Ruiner! I was working on this gag;

The NBA today announced, the All-Worthless Team for November.

Kobe had two incredible blocks.

I'll have to check the highlights.

Fish was off.

That must have been why Farmar was in there so much. Kid is flamible!

Bynum, while not shooting very well, was rebounding like a madman.

He was getting good looks in the 4th and a lot of minutes.

Odom might be back friday.

Nice!

I'm getting league pass.

Shooooooooocking.

Hey Lakerdudes, didn't Bynum start out looking great (relatively) last year?

Not really. He looked soft as tissue paper last year. I have been the most "Bynum will be a bust" laker fan out there. BUT...he's playing with a LOT more emotion and fire this season so far.

He still can't start...he is a foul machine.

 

[D-Dogg]

Farmar was in there because he has simply been kicking ass on both ends of the floor. He is nails.

Fish should be our sixth man. Jordan should start. Luke should be our 7th man. Bynum 8th.

Should be:

Jordan-Kobe-Odom-Ronny-Kwame to start. Fish off the bench to hit shots with the first unit. Luke to run the second squad with Vlad to hit shots. Bynum to come in to overlap the first and second units.

Second. The other marked improvement is in his conditioning and stamina. He looks completely different than last year.

Cook should be shot.

Cook should be shot.

If he were doing the shooting, he'd miss!

Don't get me started.

I don't hate any Lakers, but I dislike cook greatly.

I audibly sigh when he comes in the game.

I turned on the game to see him miss a 7 footer and foul a guy.

I like that one.

Ah hah! Haters will hate.

 

[D-Dogg]

Ah hah! Haters will hate.

And dislikers will dislike?

I don't hate any Lakers

 

[D-Dogg]

Hmm, with just that information, you could have tuned in at any time. I'll need more to go on to narrow this down.

Did he foul the guy with a charge, or reaching in. Was it for an and-one? did he brick the seven footer or did it rattle in and out.

He's a doofus.

 

[Mulli]

And dislikers will dislike?

I call bs on the dislike. You hate him.
