In Kobe we trust!
Tex is there!
Good to see him out there.

sort of on topic
but I used to work at spaghetti factory in Riverside and Kaman came in one time with his buddies. Seemed like a nice guy, but our worst server took his table, and a) didn’t know who he was, and b) gave him the worst service I’ve ever seen
did the manager on the floor also not know who he was?

Artest passes well enough for Fisher to make a layup on a cut.

Yeah, but its a bit of a moral defeat at the moment
We were all looking for a bit more of a dominant display
Blazers were up 20 at the end of 3 and scraped out a 9 point win. 26 turnovers by them... Blech.

Either is him jacking shots from the perimeter.

I'll give you the loose definition: for Fisher, any shot is a bad shot.

Only 2 points, 5 fouls, but like 11 boards and 5 blocks. Looked good defensively.
Pryzzy fouled out, which is rare, and Blazers ran with LMA at Center, which is always a mess.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
He also had 7 TOs, I think it was, which was a disaster.
But he was up against the very small, very quick Rockets…
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Rockets are probably 13/14/15 in the West this year.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Tough call.
My sense is they overpaid by about 15-20% given the direction of the market.
The calculated risk is that Mark Cuban wouldn’t make a max offer to bring LMA back to Dallas, where he is from.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Then again, if Hedo is worth $50M, the case can be made for LMA at $65M.

I wouldn't argue that.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal

I don't think Kobe and LO will get a break
unless the LAkers put a bit more distance between the teams
I know he made some in preseason but I still have an involuntary cringe response when LO launches a 3.

ugh… i dont think i can make it a whole season with artest having shit carved into his hair…
In Kobe we trust!
Artest doesn't have the best FG% this game, but...
…he’s taken either a) wide open jumpers or b) close to the rim contested shots out of deep post position. I’m happy with his game.

Meh. I know Kobe deserves more free throws, but the refs are human. They miss some calls, make some bad calls, make some good calls, etc. Kobe’s got 12 FT’s, yes it should be more but what can you do?
It's not that you can do something
It’s that the refs humanity errs entirely on the side of giving the superstar the benefit of EVERY doubt, and then throwing in the benefit even when there is no doubt, when you’re talking about Wade or (especially) LeBron.

I missed practically all the second half
How did it go? Bynum’s stat line implies he was a beast, and that Kobe was in the game so much either means that 1) he was trying to match LeBron’s stat line or 2) the bench was horrible.
And before people think this was entirely unsatisfying, remember that 1) we’re still getting adjusted to Artest 2) we had no Pau 3) the Clippers are a borderline playoff team with all that talent and 4) we had no Pau.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Bynum was a beast without even seeming like a beast. Seriously. When he actually explodes, some day, he’ll have the potential for 40/20.
The 3rd quarter was a huge disappointment, and it wasn’t really the bench. It was more just not really taking the game seriously, coasting, etc. Lost of sloppy play. Looked like volleyball, at times.
But yeah, in the end, I personally thought it was a good night.

Sounds good
At least from the first half, Bynum’s footwork was what impressed me the most. Compare him to say Howard and there’s absolutely no comparison between their skill level on the offensive end. Bynum simply needs to get his lift back, but even without that, he’s an All-Star caliber player.
