Fri. 10/19 - Lakers vs Kings - Predictions & Comments

I think we'll win this one. Well... except if Brown decides to play Somogyi and Morris in the second half.

Wow.. well blocking out is added to the list of things Pau no longer does it seems....

Pau's just playing soft..

Kobe traveled? NICE!

Was that really a travel?

Thanks DJ & Finwe! CL is definitely the home of true Laker fans... I feel very at home here

I'm TIRED of Pau's softness.

Ebanks is only out there to hustle and play defense..... and he's got his back turned to a 3 point shooter and then half heartedly steps out.....

eBanks hit a 3?!?!?!?!

wow pau is terrible... why doesn't he hit the weights? looks so soft out there

That wasn't a travel. Even Kobe was like "That's bleep."

wow - nice move by Cousins, Pau needs to box his man out. Surprised Stu didn't tell him to bend his legs

Welcome man.....

Even when we're playing horribly, Nash still somehow finds a way to get people open shots.

I know this is the preseason..but I'd be cool if we could win one of these games..just to say we did it...ffs.

Mike Brown keeps a tight rotation for preseason in first half (9 players). Brown said at shootaround he'd play more guys in 2nd half

So, I'm guessing 19 point loss.

I don't know about that.... he switched pivot feet before the ball ever hit the ground.... Was it a NBA travel..... probably not but what is?.... was it a textbook travel... I think so.

I know it's only preseason. I really understand the context. But still, I am still very skeptical of the "Nash is going to make Pau look so amazing" hope. You and I have both said in the past that Nash can get Pau easier looks, but it's up to Pau to put the ball in the hole. Pau looks like crap all around. I hope he's just doggin it b/c it's preseason.

Looks like like Mike Brown is going for the win tonight. Scrubs not seeing the floor like they shouldnt be.

Thnx Rooscooter

Pau is looking horrible, not in game shape ... hopefully D12 won't be rusty for too long so he can physically dominate in the paint

I'm not too sure tbh. I could be wrong.

I'm not sure if it's a mental thing or a physical one either. He seems to just lack "it" these days..... the skills look like they are still there but he seems timid and confused most of the time.

Have we seen a single Nash/Gasol pick and roll yet? What's the use? Would Gortat be more efficient for us or something? I guess I shouldn't panic, but if we start the season 7-6, I'm gonna call for some heads...

My 2 cents...Pau needs to get in the gym with MWP and put an end to Gasoft once and for all
