Chicago Bulls at Los Angeles Lakers, Nov 19, 2009 7:30 PM PST
Sorry for the late game thread, guys. I'm closing up at work and then heading home during a commercial, so I'll dispense with any commentary and let you get right to it.

Yo wats wrong with Bynum so far?
Hes looked awful :(

OK start
Gasol is killing, Kobe’s only taken two shots, but Noah has played pretty damn well
Hooray! The Suns lost; to the Hornets too!

I'm still pissed that KP didn't bring Salmons and Miller to Portland last year. That deal could have been done.

Bynum did get 12 shots, which isn’t that low for him. He just converted at a lower rate, some of which may have been it being more crowded, but we’ll see.
by klofslofski on Nov 19, 2009 10:09 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
That's true
Actually, 12 shots is pretty normal for him. If he was hitting at his usual rate, his numbers wouldn’t be very different. Good point.

I think he's readjusting his game with Gasol back
Once he figures out the right balance of perimeter play and post play, then he’ll get his rhythm back. Give it a few games.

Right
So, not playing hard against a team down 25 that literally has no chance to pull out the comeback … in your mind, that gets translated into falling behind and even losing to the Bulls.

Bynum did get 12 shots, which isn’t that low for him. He just converted at a lower rate, some of which may have been it being more crowded, but we’ll see.

Because he could start thinking “man, I could be on any other team, play more minutes and be a star, even an All-Star”, and he might even be right. But he would be losing.

Kobe is just so mentally tough
Don’t know about you guys, but if I miss the first five out on the playground, my confidence is shaken. Then again, it helps that Kobe has the endless hours of practice behind his shot, so that he shouldn’t be worried if he misses a bunch, because he knows he’s put in the work.

if we can get him to play decent we might be able to get something for him.

Heh, his contract is more valuable than anything he offers on the court.

Exactly
We can get something halfway through his contract year

By the way don't forget Ron Artest in your recaps
Dude does so many non-box score things, things that are easily overlooked, he deserves all the praise that should come his way.

Email me a paragraph or two or three of your thoughts on what he’s doing, and I’ll let you do the talking.

Thanks, but honestly, I am too lazy for that, it would feel like work!
I type comments here, but I remember one post that CA wrote that about why advanced stats hate Kobe and thought, “man, that what I would express, if 1) I had the capacity and 2) I wasn’t so damn lazy!”
Thanks again.

Knicks and Nets are only traps if the whole team goes out drinking the afternoon of the game...

Just got home!
Amazing to see Gasol played so well! Gosh it’s good to have him back! Lakers are without a doubt THE team to beat in the NBA still…no matter what everyone says.

Lamar is so much better on the second unit
That shift down does him so much good.

we get more depth with Odom on the bench, but most of the bench are playing below average or just sucks.

Now we know why Andrew only played 24 minutes: He sprained his right ankle while picking up his 4th foul on Brad Miller

Lakers 2009 Road to Redemption: TREVOR, DEREK, LAMAR, PAU & KOBE.
Play the game of which Lakers reminds you of: TA - TI, Shannon Brown - Chris Brown, Pau Gasol - Jesus, Machine - Luis Scola/Russell Brand, PJ with mustache and beard - Colonel Sanders.
