Lakers Win!

Andrew's free throws were down to 50% this time. He needs to keep working on them. Otherwise it seems like he did a great job.

The stats on the Greek center indicate that Bynum did a helluva job on him.

Unfortunately Pinnock seemed to have an off-game today. Douthit continued to be a rebounder and hustler. Devin Green also had an off-night.

Jordan once again gave his 3rd straight good performance. He's definitely been the most consistant.

Bynum had 15 FTs, shot 8-11, had 4 assists. Oh well, can't blame the guy for being ambitious.

By the stats and reviews so far on the SPL games, Green and Wafer certainly aren't helping their case for a roster spot. Tonight seems to further point to this idea...

Green: 5 missed shots, 3 missed free throws, 1 point
Wafer: 1 made bucket, 2 TOs, 6 points

Looks like Lakers gave Slaughter a chance to show what he could do by giving him 28 minutes. I'm waiting to hear back from those that were at the game, because a lot of his contributions don't make it on a box score, other than rebounding (7 boards tonight, same as Bynum).

Horvath with 5 TOs, more than anyone else on either team.

they should send bynum and kareem to the d league for the first half of the season to polish his game.

Wafer averaged 13, 3 and 2, I wouldn't call that successful. Same with 10, 7.5 in 30 min. 17, 9 and 3 in 27 min? Hell yes it will translate, assuming that he can stay out of foul trouble.

Good game to watch. Farmar and Bynum played very well.

Report coming soon, including an exclusive interview I got with Smush Parker.

haha that cow was so damn socali! haha. the cow was fun to watch the hole game! AND those spl's girls get in better shape every year!

also, smush made a quick trip to sit next to mitch... maybe asking for a contract extension.

but to the game. marcus douhit is a great passer for a big man. a good rebounder and he has a weird release. he is getting his defense back up there.

devin green - everytime i look he was gaurding warrick. if it wasn't warrick i was a pf. that was stange, but he did make a lot of mistakes.

wafer - i was disapointed. nothing like the wafer from last year.

farmar - as good as advertised

bynum - still gets pushed around by smaller guys, but he has stronger hands now. he didn't drop one pass.

but all in all it was a good game to watch.

Nice work BDG, Im not sure what you currently do but you should consider some kind of career in sports journalism. These reports have been very well written, they talk enough specifically about the triangle to entertain diehards, but also simplify things for people who just wanna check on certain players. You also integrated interview quotes in nicely and kept the whole thing looking very professional - props jam2

Bynum, Farmar and Pinnock are the only guys I really care to read about, so Im glad all 3 were in the recap. Farmar sounds like hes using that same court presence that controlled UCLA's demeanor at SPL, a good sign! Id like to see Bynum start using his size to wear down his defender ala Shaq and go back to the basket, but hes still learning things. Pinnock's offensive game doesnt concern me so much as his D, I see a spot on the roster for a young guy who can play hard and focus on shutting down wing players, and it seems Pinnock can do that. How was his defense despite a poor offensive night (something some of our current Lakers have problems with, when they miss shots they then go and sulk on D).

Anyway, thanks for the recap and sounds like an exciting game.

Thanks for the report BDG.

It's very good to hear that Bynum had such a good outing. I was a little concerned when I saw the box score and it said he only had 1 block, but if he was still a presence in the middle and bothering shots, that's fine with me.

Farmar has played very well this SPL it seems. I just wish he'd see more competition, same could be said about Bynum's opponents. When your best opposition is Lowry (who didn't play the first meeting) or a Greek center who won't be in the NBA, it speaks volumes at just how much the SPL needs to get real teams back in the competition. The Bynum-Farmar duo is nice to hear about, since Bynum will likely be the center in the game when Farmar is logging his minutes. So if they are learning how to play together now, it makes things a lot easier come training camp and pre-season.

What's funny is Pinnock had a decent game, but the fact that it was head and shoulders better than the performance by Green and Wafer, two players who have played on the Lakers and have at least a little triangle experience. Either someone hits them with some smelling salt or they lose their roster spots. But with Pinnock surprising us all and actually being a decent prospect, that's fine with me if Green and/or Wafer lose their spot to him.

Green guading Warrick?! Why? Isn't that a complete mismatch. That has be scratching my head more than the Bulls playing Thabo at center yesterday.

I really hope we at least get Slaughter a spot on the D-League team. He seems to be a solid, blue collar worker. He just needs to spend the next year working on his shooting touch and an NBA position, since he is a tweener.

JSM Thabo was not the C. Thyrus Thomas was but the box score was wrong. They had Tyrus at SG and Thabo at C but it was the other way.
