Sun. 11/01 - Lakers vs. Hawks - Predictions & Comments

We definitely needed this one. Lame that the subs sucked it up in the fourth, but . . . I really hate that lineup by the way, Jordan, Sasha, Powell, Mbenga and Luke. That lineup just blows. Thankfully we won't have to see it any more when Gasol comes back. It's more than just an eyesore.

Had a big lead, dropped it, got a lead again, dropped it.

W is a W.

not much to say about this one, it was in a way a must win and they got the job done tonight. Nothing flashy but time to start focusing on the next one.

That made no sense what Stu just said, if Lamar were a more selfish player he could get a triple double every night . . . WTH? Double digits assists equals more selfish?

besides Kobe our guards sucked in this game (few good passes by Jordy) but we were still able to control this game, like they say Defense & Rebounding wins games...that 3rd quarter run was great!

Ha i know, but I think what he was trying to say is that if he cared about triple doubles & stats ala Ricky Davis, then he would force the issue more, but hes just out there havin fun &doing what he can to win

cause he sucks

Bynum has issues trying to rebound against jumpshooting teams. The rebounds bounce longer and bounce differently. We saw the same issues against Golden Statre. Ask him to rebound misses off of penetration or post-play and he's more efficient.

LO is more efficient tracking rebounds off of jumpshots.

^you do know I was being sarcastic, right?

Ron's defense on Joe Johnson was phenomenal. I think Joe only scored one FG on him once Phil switched him over.

He's just got to start knocking down shots and pick his spots well in the offense and he'll be in great shape.

wasn't AC Law supposed to be that guy?

worst miss-conception in mankind history...lol

kobe makes 41. he still got it. mavs game scared me a bit.

Yeah, but I just wanted to comment on why he struggles rebounding against these certain teams.

Wierd how usual gameday threeads are like 70-some pages or more.

Missed this game unfortunately..... Watched the HD highlights and wow...exciting stuff.

Kobe turning back the clock with all of those highlight dunks, especially the reverse i had to do a double take.

Artest's left handed jam off the kobe behind the back in traffic was the best highlight of the season so far.
