Thurs. 10/7 - Lakers @ FC Barcelona - Predictions & Comments

Blake is playing well. His shot looks real NOICE!

I want to see Ebanks and Caracter!

Ron is playing really aggressive out there.

Dude has 3 fouls already...

Ball was on the rim..and the Euro ref on that end let it go.

Goaltending much?

Artest has been really frustrating to watch these past 2 games...

But Steve Blake is a straight up baller

Caracter really struggles against size. He got owned by Darko the other day and now by this guy.

The offense needs to go through Lamar with this unit out there.

Lamar is looking really good

Ratliff with the block!

GIMME DAT S**T!

THEO!

Caracter keeps getting his shots blocked.

LOL @ Lamar. The ghost of Magic Johnson attempting to enter our world through him.

I hope we don't have to play Character a lot of minutes.

And 1 Ebanks!

lolwut? It's the second preseason game of the year. He just needs to learn how to deal with NBA height and length. If Glen Davis can be productive, Derrick Caracter can too.

Yeah, he has the same problems that Josh Powell had when he was with us.

Your right I probably judged him too quickly. He just needs to adjust and learn how to deal with length. My fault.

I F'n hate it when refs wait to see if the shot is going in before they blow the whistle. Make the F'in call when it happens.

It will be pretty [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] hilarious if we lose this game

Pau's offensive game is just beautiful to watch. He is the most talented bigman in the league IMO.

I like EBanks a lot. I think he will be a really good player for us. The defense he just played was pretty impressive for a rookie.

I actually like that he's not afraid to go at guys 3-4 inches taller than him. He'll eventually learn what he can and can't do in this league against legit height and length but at least he's not shying away from his post game early and settling for jumpers. Like Glen Davis, he'll need to perfect his midrange J to open up opportunities for himself in the low post and he actually does have a decent midrange shot. He's very unpolished but the fundamentals are all there. With some work, he could be a very solid Davis/Millsap type player IMO.

Don't get your hopes up.

If that happens I will be shocked out of my mind. He doesn't have the athletic ability nor the quickness that those guys have. I seriously don't see him being a better player than Josh.
