Wed. 11/21 - Lakers @ Queens - Predictions & Comments

WOW Kobe, gonna take your turnover down

dwight should teach pau how to dunk.

Lakers demoralized after that last bucket. Kings using all their speed and athleticism and clogging the paint against us. Best way to beat the Lakers.

MDA has to tweak something. The ball is not moving, there is no energy today. Low scoring, bigs not too involved. That has to change. I think we'll play better in the 2nd half.

well that was a terrible half. so many turnovers. dwight with only 2 attempts. cmon bros.

Kings 42 - 41 Lakers

this is so boring lol, barely worth watching. worst game since firing of MB

So is Mike Brown back or something

We have left 9 points at the line.

We have NOT taken advantage of the kings turnovers.

We are allowing fast break points.

We are down at half to our arch nemesis..... the team that owned us in the preseason numerous times.

Literally,...... ONLY KOBE HAS MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT. Stuck in 2004-2005 vibe right now.

<Not pleased.

we gona win this game...but still unacceptable half...

ball not moving like it was in past games. could be bc its a back to back but still. dwight barely could get involved and just too many turnovers.

No.... im watching the game.

13 turnovers.... shooting 44%

Winning on the boards 24-20

No flow on offense and Kobe has more than a 1/3 of our points...

Howard doesn't play well against this team historically and especially bad in this building.... I believe he had the worst game of his career here last year If I remember correctly.....

EDIT: Howard had 5 and 4 in Sac last year.

turnovers and missed freethrows are killing us right now. that has to stop in the 2nd half

We missed 9 FTs and Howard didn't take any? Not gonna beat many teams that way...

We need to find a way to get the ball to our bigs more, there is no ball movement, too much ISOS & standing around.

Hopefully we find the energy in the 2nd half, D'Antoni has got some work to do.

I work early on the east coast and thus have not been privileged to see many laker games recently.... and the ones Ive watched..... only one win, maybe 2.

Can we please.... just please play well the 2nd half. Too talented to lose to a team that is in foul trouble, that sucks.... that has zero basketball reason to be competing with us this closely to begin with.

come on boys!

Looks like Pau's balls shrunk again.

I think I speak for everyone when I say. . . stop watching the games please?

QFT

Exactly. Hope MDA has us come out run and gunning, because we have yet to do that.

Ugh, feels like pre-season all over again. Luckily we're only down 1 instead of 15. Miraculously, actually.

And the sad thing is you can't blame Dwight for it tonight. Jordan Hill needs to get his FT together, Duhon with some surprising misses . . . guess it's true that bad free throwing is contagious.

Also our guys look pretty tired. Tired legs = bad free throwing.

Dwight is definitely tired - this is his first back to back right?

lol i thought about this myself.... but i have put my time in and have come to the conclusion that i should be excluded from all superstitions regarding me watching the games, considering my ordeal! ..... but i seriously have considered it!

Id like to think the boys are fantastic regardless of how much the offense seems to suck when i watch them.

"We want Bernie!"
