Lakers-Thunder Game Thread

Los Angeles Lakers at Oklahoma City Thunder, Nov 3, 2009 5:00 PM PST


Hee hee... "Jacktown"

Hee hee... "Jacktown"

It's an early tip-off today, little darlings. I had to set an alarm clock just to be sure I'd be up on time for this. Last night was a late one for yours truly... I'm not at liberty to share the details, but suffice it to say crime doesn't fight itself on the dark streets of Hollywood.

Kobe, as you've probably heard, is suffering from the always popular Flu-Like Symptoms. Latest update I saw is that his fever's gone, but he's nonetheless a gametime decision. Also a gametime decision: whether I'll ever put on something over these boxers.

Get busy commentin', or get busy dyin'.

Star-divide

Ed. Note:  I'm jumping in on the end of Dex's Game Thread.

The Lakers, as they usually do when they play on Tuesdays, got voted into NBA TV Fan Night. And unfortunately, out here in Kansas, we don't have local TV to fall back on. So since I'm SOL for this game (at least until tomorrow or Thursday, when I can, *ahem*, "acquire" it by other means), I'll be keeping pretty involved in these game threads, and relying on you to keep me up-to-date, if there's something the box-score and play-by-play can't convey.

Feel free to be descriptive, people.

Plus they're obviously inspired

They’re good, and they’re playing they’re rivals. It tends to be a good combination.

The Cavs … still … don’t seem to be inspired. Not that I can tell by actually seeing them, or anything. Again, Poker on ESPN.

Testing the waters

Rec this if you’d like SS&R to start mobilizing and organizing Lakers fans in voting for ANY other game than Lakers games on Fan Night.

The key, of course, will be to come up with a system via which we can make sure that everyone is voting for the SAME other game.

The power is with the people, right? I figure we, as a massive fan base, are powerful enough to keep the Lakers off of NBA T(uesday)V for the rest of the season.

Exactly

Unlike a good number of completely unreasonable people, I fully understand why they black out games shown on National TV — meaning, ABC, ESPN, TNT, C-SPAN, whatever. It just wouldn’t fly to undercut the people showing your games.

But there’s no such thing as competing against yourself! It’s your own network, what, are you going to get mad at yourself and refuse to do business with yourself anymore???

The main reason our bench gives up leads

is not because of the offense as much as its the defense. If you look at a bench like the Celtics, they play defense nearly as well as the starters. If our guys would just play good solid D and rebound, they wouldnt be as pressured to score a ton of points. It sucks our team doesnt have a defensive killer instinct like the Cs do.

The Lakers play at a faster pace than OKC on average, so a running game should be in their favor because it’s how they like to play.

The Blazers have played at one of the slowest paces in the league for a long time now, so of course they will lose if they get into a running shootout.
