Sun. 1/8 - Lakers vs Grizzlies - Predictions & Comments

if we somehow don't get just above average pg before trade deadline, we're screwed. I love Fisher for the effort in past seasons but right now he's killing this team.
we're serious contender and our starting pg is worse than some 3rd string pgs or 2nd pg in few lottery teams. amazing

Brown knows better. He wants to keep handicapping us with these players who can't pull their own weight anymore.

Hopefully this turns into a blowout for us, so that we can actually see these two play because it's sad to say that's the only way Morris will see any time.

Morris has yet to sniff a regular season game and Ebanks last few outings weren't any better than Artest's .... this just shows how bad we are at SF and Point guard......

Morris? he hasn't played a single minute in the league and I assume that if the brain trust thought he could he would be....

I don't like Fisher's play anymore than anyone else but a rookie wouldn't be any better. Look no further than Goudelock for that. Missed wide open shot, travel and watching after a shot goes up...... Give me Kapono over him at the backup 2.

To be fair, Goudelock's shot went in and out, and that travel was something EVERY NBA player does and seemingly gets away with. Furthermore, I'm willing to give him some leeway as he is a rookie after all. Fisher on the other hand as a 16 year vet has no excuse for throwing some of those idiotic passes.

Memphis is shooting 46% but 6 of their makes are on transition layups.... take those away and we are holding them to around 40%.....

I miss Joel :(

Play smart L.A.

Everyone likes the rookies because they are a unknown quantity...... they could be good.... and in the opposite sense everyone knows exactly what you are going to get out of our vets (Fisher and Artest). The problem is in actual production not expectations. Goudelocks minutes were a complete zero..... Fisher did just what he's done all year....

Overall, Ebanks has been MUCH more productive than Artest this season. Using his performance against Portland as an example is a bit misleading as well. Wallace is a tough match up for any defender as a 3/4 cornerman type with decent size. Barnes struggled with him just as well.

FWIW, no one is saying that Morris and Ebanks are all-stars, just that as youngsters who appear to have upside, we think they should be on the floor over the tired, old vets with nothing to offer.

any rookie can't be worse than that.

GTFO Fisher

Vintage Fisher.

Fisher in a mid-life crisis taking all these drives

Kobes

Good luck against MIA or OKC with that play.

f-lob city hahahahahahaha

Is the black ref Stafford?

a bomb...

Hey Fish you are not throwing the oop to Nate Robinson, its a 7 footer throw it up so he doesn't have to windmill that ish.

Miami is going to murder us with all these turnovers.

Fish almost efed up a simple alley-oop pass. He is done, use him only in the PO
