The Lou Gossett, Jr. Memorial Postgame Thread

Ol' Lou's not actually dead, I should point out. In fact, according to IMDB, he's at work these days filming Why Did I Get Married Too, a sequel to some horrible movie none of you saw. That's super not interesting, of course, but it's still way more interesting than his conversation tonight with Joel and Stu during the Lakers118-110 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

If you watched, you know what I'm referring to. During the second quarter viewers were, uh, "treated" to an interview with Mr. Gossett, and two hours removed from the ordeal I still don't have any solid idea what he was talking about. Something about a foundation, maybe? Who knows. I'm just grateful it's over.

So the Lakers cleansed their palate after the Dallas fiasco and are 2-1 on the year. Kobe scored 41, Bynum 21 and Lamar fell two assists shy of a trip-dub. Delicious victory!

We'll see you in the morning.

NOTE

The Lakers are now 1-0 when Kobe takes more than 28 shots in three quarters of play.

Ok I exaggerate

By exaggerate, I mean I stopped watching after the third, so I thought he didn’t play anymore. My bad.

A much better performance

Especially on the defensive end; shave about 10-15 points off for basically defensive indifference and we had a fairly solid game. Ball was moving well on offense, and the bench showed signs of life despite how much of the lead they gave up in the fourth.

From the various comments given, Pau is probably out 2-3 more games; no need to bring him out early for OKC, Houston, or Memphis. It’s really difficult to gauge the current team though without him in — he’s so crucial to the flow on both sides of the court, especially in our bench rotations, that I wouldn’t put too much stock into the bench’s current performance, especially because Powell and Mbenga won’t be getting the same minutes with our proper rotation (and we don’t have to cringe every time Mbenga touches the ball and same for Powell in a non-pick-and-pop situation).

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Take a peek at Adande’s piece on Artest.

I love that Lou Gossett, Jr. did four Iron Eagle movies. God those sucked.

I got no beef with Lou Gossett, Jr. but like many I have learned to quickly hit the mute button. I can’t remember one interview that I liked or even listen to.

If they’re so determined to interview someone let them do it instead of one of their precious commercials.

Agreed, and it's nothing personal

I just don’t like any of the courtside interviews during game play. They shrink the screen, we miss the action when they cut back to the person talking, I don’t give a shite what someone else is talking about unless they want to talk about what’s happening on the court.

I hate to say it but I do remember enjoying their interview of Allyssa Milano. I actually tried to listen at first but decided it was just as enjoyable muted. :)
