The Credits

by wondahbap on Nov 1, 2009 6:49 AM PDT in Credits

It's Sunday, so today's Credits will be brief. But there was some good stuff in yesterday's Credits. If you're at home with the time to read, read those too.

(I watched the 1st half of the Rockets game, and I was proud to see Trevor have that game. Good for him. I know people are going to see what Trevor has been doing and go all Bill Simmons, but as much as I love what Trevor did for us, I still think the ceiling is higher with Ron. Give Ron some time. He was doing for Houston what Trevor is doing now, and Trevor had to find his groove with the Lakers early last season. So will Ron.)

I photo-shopped Atlanta's unis. Don't they look so much better in their previous colors? ATL should have never changed them. Never mind the fact that the design will probably get changed in a few years. It seems generic.

Here's the home uni:

I know it's a distinctly minority view, but I still think Ron for Trevor was a TERRIBLE mistake.

Mistake???

It wasn’t a trade, Timbo. It was replacing a player that chose to leave. The mistake would have been NOT to replace him at all.

don't forget..............

Trevor chose to sign in Houston for the exact same amount that we were offering.

PS is right.

Trevor’s agent balked at what the Lakers offered. They wanted more. Ron swooped in. Should they have emptied the bank for Trevor when they have 4 more players higher up on the food chain?

The Lakers are good enough to win it all if they didn’t sign either player. So why spend more then they planned on?

Ironically enough

I think the Hawks will be wearing their new, red alternate uniforms tonight.

They are just the same as the other two, but say ATL across the chest.

Yes.

Gotta Agree

The Hawks will be getting new uni’s in less than 5 years. Theyre modern now but will get outdated real quick. I dont understand why they changed their colors to red and blue, the league has enough of that

An every other sport.

We bette come out strong tonight

Hawks are a pretty decent team. Don’t want to start the season 1-2. I’m calling big game from Kobe, Artest, and Shannon. I think Bynum struggles tonight…Hopefully not.

I’m expecting a better effort and hope they win. But after the Mavs game I would be happy with a couple of quarters where the Lakers look like they are executing on both ends of the floor.

With Gasol out the "height" advantage is non existent

Since last year’s match up with the Rockets I noticed that the Lakers struggle against teams like the Hawks and Rockets who have players that are bangers in the paint. That was the biggest reason that the Rockets took the Lakers to a game seven. Not sure who is or isn’t hurt on the Hawks but that team is tough in the paint. The frustrating part of watching that is to have Bynum out rebounded by 6-7 or 6-9 SF’s.

I’m hoping that Pau’s being out is giving the other Lakers and especially Drew a little more space to work on some things. (But perhaps I am just dreaming.)

Oops!

That was meant as a reply to PURPLE AND GOLD FOR LIFE.

the team

gasol will not be an excuse… we have bynum, odom and artest, kobe… we should be winning with that lineup.. the bench becomes suspect though, they really have to step up.. i think phil should give shannon more minutes though (i’m sorry d fish).. shannon not only plays well but gives a boost of energy not just to the fans but to the team.. we can talk losing a few points but not being blown out.. hopefully tonight will be a different story.. can’t wait for the game to start.. i’ll be watching the threads as i’ll be here in the office.. hehehe
